HE suffered speech difficulties and was half-paralyzed from earlier strokes, but the late former Vice-President Emmanuel Pelaez managed to show that he was "at his happiest" last month when he learned that the Supreme Court had ordered the return of coconut levy funds to the farmers.

This was disclosed yesterday by his son Ernesto during necrological rites at the Senate. Pelaez, second in command to the late President Diosdado Macapagal and also a former senator, died Sunday.

"His greatest satisfaction would have been to witness the actual return of the money to the farmers,'' said Ernesto, who spoke for the family after eulogies by senators led by Senate President Franklin Drilon.

Vice-President Teofisto Guingona joined the solons in paying their last respects to "Maning,'' whom they exulted as "Mindanao's most eminent politician,'' a "model Filipino,'' and an "outstanding statesman."

The others who offered sympathies to Pelaez' widow, Edith, and her family were: Senators Edgardo Angara, Loren Legarda, Aquilino Pimentel Jr., Ramon Magsaysay Jr. Vicente Sotto III, John Osmena and Rodolfo Biazon; former senators Leticia Shahani, Jovito Salonga and Wigberto Tanada.
