Dr. Plagata with his wife Franzine and son Keith Erwin.
Former Iloilo City Councilor Dr. Erwin Plagata, popularly known as “Tongtong” returned to his Creator on May 17 (2:00PM) at the Iloilo Mission Hospital, leaving his wife Franzine and son Keith Erwin.
Dr. Plagata was a member of the CPU High School Batch 1973. He was one time President of the CPU Alumni Association, Iloilo City Chapter. He served his term as Iloilo City Councilor from 1995 to 1998 and from 2001 to 2012 with his helpful Barangay Extension Services. He provided free circumcision and surgery among other medical services to the people, especially to the “grassroots” of Iloilo City. The Centralian Doctor and former “Kagawad” left a remarkable public service – in line with his profession and government position. Long after working in the Iloilo City Council, Dr. Plagata continued to extend free surgical services to his constituents. A necrological service will be held before the cremation of the body of Dr. Plagata on Saturday, May 27, 2017, 2:00PM. The service will be at University Church, Central Philippine University. To his family, relatives and friends: Our condolences and prayers – from the CPU family.
