                    [Summary] => Press freedom icon Jose Burgos Jr. was laid to rest in simple but moving sunset rites at the family farm in San Miguel, Bulacan on Saturday after a two-hour necrological service.


Vice President Teofisto Guingona led a crowd of about 500 people, including former newspaper dealers, vendors, staffers and unsung benefactors of the "Mosquito Press," in assuring the family of Burgos Jr. that they will support the various causes that the late journalist-farmer had advocated up until he succumbed to cancer on November.
