“I am filled with immense sadness at Cito Dayrit’s passing.

He was a friend and valued adviser and I relied on his professionalism, vast knowledge and experience and honest point of view.

Philippine and international sports just suffered a devastating loss.

I will miss you immensely, my friend. May you rest in peace.

My profound condolences to Cindy and Cito’s children and family. May the Lord be with you all in your time of grief.”
