THE SAMAR State University paid tribute to its former vice president for Administration Dr. Jose Labro who died on Wednesday.

Labro — who was an engineer, doctor, and playwright — succumbed to cardiac arrest at the age of 64.

“[SSU] sends prayers, thoughts, and love to a briliant leader, great mentor, and good friend. We will cherish your memories and remember your legacies, Sir Pet. May your soul rest in perfect comfort and peace,” SSU said.

His former students and acquaintances shared their fond memories of Labro.

Others cited the former school official for his contributions in promoting Waray literature.
