The words of her favorite song spoke the truth for those she left behind: “Since you went away, the days grow long / And soon, I’ll hear old winter’s song / But I miss you most of all, my darling, when autumn leaves start to fall.”
Sent off by loved ones and admirers with the somber lines of “Autumn Leaves,” National Scientist and eminent pediatrician Fe del Mundo was posthumously inducted on Thursday into the Order of the Golden Heart, a presidential recognition for distinguished public service.
President Aquino conferred the honors on Del Mundo through her nieces, Elisa Bengzon and former Ambassador Luz del Mundo, during necrological rites held at the Department of Science and Technology (DoST) compound in Taguig City.
Del Mundo, who would have turned 100 on Nov. 27, was later interred with full state honors at Libingan Ng Mga Bayani also in Taguig.
