Former Marcos Minister dies
NZPA-Reuter Manila A former Philippines’ Foreign Minister, BrigadierGeneral Carlos Romulo, died yesterday in hospital after a lingering kidney ailment and other problems. General Romulo, who had emergency surgery on Tuesday for intestinal bleeding, died from circulatory collapse caused by brain, heart, lung, liver and kidney failure. His American-born wife, Beth Day, three sons and a daughter-in-law were at his bedside when he died at the National Kidney Foundation. General Romulo, aged 86, one of the few surviving signatories of the 1945
United Nations charter, retired on his eighty-fifth birthday in January, 1984, after nearly 50 years in Government service and 14 years as Foreign Minister. As a tribute to his long service, the National Assembly approved a special bill allowing him to fly the national flag outside his residence and to use the official Philippine seal. He returned to San Francisco in June for celebrations marking the fortieth anniversary of the United Nations charter and went to Indonesia in April for the thirtieth anniversary of the Bandung Afro-Asian conference, forerunner of the NonAligned Movement.
