"Ed as he is to me was a schoolmate way back 40 years ago in Pre-med. He is the same man possessing a golden heart with a brilliant mind. Full of compassion, humility, perseverance and hard work..He gave of himself unselfishly and literally left nothing really much for himself and his family..because..he gave all! Ed was a true servant of the people he was called to serve..blessed are they to have him for so many years..as a mayor three termer and as its first congressman..made the dumping place for squatters ..the first city of Bulacan..improved tremendously the plight of the people he was tasked to serve committedly and whole heartedly. Ed was a very generous man..with his time, talent and treasures..of his very person. He never denied anyone be it friend or foe in the political arena..any favors they ask. He wasn't a trapo...Ed was and continues to be San Jose del Monte's HERO..notwithstanding that Ed was a migrant..who loved unselfishly..and again gave all his all..How never worked and toiled to enrich himself..that's why..he didnt leave much..he even left on the contrary some loans..as reported...Ed would loan for someone in need..and even use his resources as collateral..and even pay the loan himself if the one whom he loaned for couldn't put up with its responsibilities!..That is and was Ed as a leader..as a servant..as a friend..as a brother..as a neighbor!..there is so much to tell about Ed..it would be a good idea to write a book..on how he served..so others may know..what true servanthood is all about..which the least of..is self-seeking!..I do hope that some sort of tribute may be give this great man..who silently served..and worked..unlimitedly..and unselfishly..at least a monument..a book..a street in honor of his memory would be fine..so others may see..a good example...of servanthood..and so others may follow his rare example..May Ed's soul rest in peace..may he find the happiness he searched and longed for in this world which he couldnt find..May the memory of this hard working man..who served unselfishly who only thought of others...in all his goodness..live on forEVeR!" -Dr.Eleanor de Borja-Palabyab

"Wala ng iba pang pwedeng pumantay sa mga nagawa at sa ugali ni EVR..iisa lamang siya. Isa siyang bayani..huwaran..na dapat tularan ng ibang mga naunungkulan..magandang isagawa ang buhay niya ng marami ang matuto at magsilbing inspirasyon siya ng nakakarami..hindi siya isang trapo..buong buhay niya ang itinaya niya para sa mamamayang San Joseno na minahal niyang buong buo..an honest and .hard working compassionate public servant..that should be imitated and emulated by the next mayor whoever it may be..no one can compare to EVR..that's why he remains to be a big threat to many of his contemporaries..he's..an excellent leader in all aspects..vigilant..and responsive..can easily be reached and is always available..that must have caused his life..and shortened it..he gave all his all..left nothing much for himself..a very secured person..kung sabihin..walang masamang tinapay sa kanya..superbait na tao..matulungin sobra..kung ano ang para sa kanya ibinabahagi pa niya kahit wala na siya..we will surely miss a good man..a hero he is to the many San Josenos whom he has served those 20 years..he will not be easily forgotten..because EVR will remain alive in our hearts..for no one can put a good man down..ever..EVR forEVR! " -Antonio

"History will immortalize Eduardo Roquero as the mayor who helped his beloved city to bloom. As a supporter, I will immortalize him in the quiet passages of my heart. By instructing us in the rhythms of nature, our boss taught us about life. By waiting for his beloved city to bloom, he taught us patience. I live my life life differently for having known him. After the mourning, anger, after the ranting and acting out, we will soon move on and realize it's a gift to be close to someone who dreams big and reaches far. It inspires us to do the same, because even if his blood never runs through us, but the lessons he pass onto us are powerful." -Greys Osido
