“The National Democratic Front of the Philippines salutes Capt. Rene Jarque, as a patriotic officer and man of the highest integrity. “

Atty. Soliman M. Santos, Jr.
“Philippine Army Captain Jose Rene N. Jarque, dead at 40, in the prime of life, with so much yet to give to family and country. It is both shocking and especially sad when the good die young unexpectedly.”

Carol Pagaduan-Araullo
“Rene Jarque’s legacy to the struggle to bring about an armed forces that will truly serve the interests of the people and the country is surely enshrined in the hearts and minds of the patriotic men and women in uniform. Indeed, he has served his people and his country well and we are all very proud of him.”

Alexander Martin Remollino, Bulatlat.com
“What does retired Army Brig. Gen. Raymundo Jarque think of military corruption, which his son and others fought against in various ways? What does he think has been achieved so far in this area, and what more does he think should be done?”

Alexander Martin Remollino
“That was Rene N. Jarque — a patriot in his own right, a brilliant thinker, and a good friend. An officer and a gentleman.”

Luis G. Jalandoni
“The NDFP shares in their grief for the passing of an exemplary Filipino patriot and civil libertarian who stood for substantial progressive reforms to uplift the people from their oppressed and exploited condition.”

Anthony Ian Cruz
“Roco personified the best the traditional political elite has to offer.”

Dexter Alapag Villanueva
“Raul S. Roco is a true servant of the people, especially the Filipino youth. [He] is the best Philippine President we never had.”

Darwin Mariano
“A visionary leader with a clear sense of what is right and just, an unconventional politician with a reputation that has never been tainted with corruption, and, most importantly, a former student leader without any political pedigree who, by sheer idealism and hardwork, has managed to become an accomplished lawyer, a brilliant legislator, an exceptional cabinet member and the best President this country never had.”

Ederic P. Eder
“Naiisip kong sana, alang-alang sa alaala ni Roco, matuto tayong tumayo at bawiin ang karapatang inagaw sa atin.”
