“It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Martin Diño, Former Undersecretary of the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG). “Bobot,” as he is fondly called, peacefully died at 2:15 am on August 8, 2023, surrounded by his family.

“Martin Diño was not only a dedicated public servant but also a loving husband, father, brother, and friend. His unwavering commitment to his responsibilities, his tireless work ethic, and his passion for service defined his life's journey. His contributions to our nation's progress, particularly on local governance and community development, will forever stand as a testament to his commitment to a better society.

“Former Undersecretary Martin Diño's legacy extends beyond his distinguished role in government. As the former Chairman of the "Violence Against Crime and Corruption" organization, he epitomized the spirit of advocacy, using his voice to champion the rights of the oppressed and fight against injustice.

“Through VACC, he stood unwaveringly by the side of the marginalized, his dedication and commitment leaving an indelible mark on the fight for a better world.

“During this challenging time, our hearts are heavy with grief, but we are comforted by the outpouring of love and support from friends, colleagues, and well-wishers. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all those who have offered their prayers. His legacy of resilience, compassion, and a deep sense of duty will forever guide us.”
