THE advocacy that Elpidio “Jojo” dela Victoria started lives on.

At least 2,000 people have vowed to continue dela Victoria’s fight to protect marine resources.

Dela Victoria, who was shot last April 12 and died the next day, was buried at the Talisay City Public Cemetery yesterday after a 1 p.m. concelebrated requiem mass at the St. Joseph Parish Church in Tabunok.

Msgr. Esteban Binghay, archdiocesan Episcopal vicar, dela Victoria’s son Vincent and lawyer Antonio Oposa, president of the Visayan Sea Squadron, were one in beseeching those around to continue what he started.

“The death of Jojo will hopefully serve as a wake-up call for all of us. Kung kugihan ang mga dautan, mas kugihan unta ang mga buotan. Pagkadaghan mohandum ni Jojo. Apan daghan ba kaha ang misunod sa iyang buhat? Maghugpong ta. Atong sundon ang iyang gisugdan,” Binghay said, who served as the main celebrant in the mass.
