[#RIPMiriam] Former Senator "Miriam Defensor Santiago" dies at age 71.
ABS-CBNnews - Former senator Miriam Defensor Santiago has passed away after a long bout with lung cancer. She was 71.
Senator Grace Poe announced Santiago's passing Thursday, as she offered a prayer during a Freedom of Information bill hearing.
Santiago's passing came just weeks after she was brought to the hospital after suffering complications.
The senator, known for being feisty and fearless, first announced on July 2, 2014 that she had been diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer.
She was then teary-eyed speaking to reporters but still went on to tell jokes, even saying that she was "excited" she had the disease.
In October 2015, or over a year after her announcement, Santiago declared she would seek the presidency for the third time after having supposedly "conquered" cancer.
