Anakpawis Rep. Crispin “Ka Bel” Beltran dead

Rep. Crispin "Ka Bel" Beltran was declared dead at 11:48am last Tuesday after he succumbed to severe head injuries while being treated at the Far Eastern University Hospital, hours after he had an accident at his Bulacan home. The 75-year-old Beltran, born in Bacacay, Albay on January 7, 1933, was a long time trade unionist and chairman of the Kilusang Mayo Uno before he became representative of Anakpawis party-list. He met his end on Tuesday, May 19. He succumbed to severe head injuries after a bad fall from the roof of his house in Bulacan province. Fellow leftist lawmaker Satur Ocampo said that he was once told by Beltran that he'd rather die in a protest-rally on the street, in the company of poor people who want change in the government.
