                    [Summary] => BACOLOD CITY — Bacolod Bishop Antonio Fortich was laid to rest yesterday even as President Arroyo vowed to continue the work started by the man she fondly called "Kumander Tony" for his efforts that led to the creation of a "zone of peace" in Negros.


The President spoke about Fortich’s accomplishments at the necrological rites held at the San Sebastian Cathedral in Bacolod City.


The 89-year-old bishop died last July 2 due to a lingering illness after almost two months of confinement at a hospital.
