The Philippine Information Agency extends prayers and condolences to the family of Secretary Susan "Toots" Ople.

Her contributions as Overseas Filipino Workers' (OFW) rights advocate have left an indelible mark. Her dedication, passion, and tireless efforts have undoubtedly made a positive impact on the lives of many.

May Secretary Ople's legacy continue to inspire and uplift those fortunate enough to have known her and benefited from her work.

She was the daughter of Blas Ople, who served as labor secretary for 19 years under the administration of Ferdinand Marcos Sr.

She was the first Secretary of the Department of Migrant Workers.
