The passing of former Manila Vice Mayor Danilo Bautista Lacuna last 13 August 2023 reminds us that although life is fleeting, the impact of our borrowed time on earth will be felt and remembered in our death. As former US President Barack Obama once said, what matters in this life is “how well we have loved and what small part we have played in making the lives of other people better”. And with that, the former vice mayor–Boss Danny or DBL to his friends and colleagues –will definitely be missed.
