Congressman 'Ka Bel' - Died 75 Years young

A barely finished bungalow whose roof needed repair in time for the wet season, brought to full light the proletarian path he had embraced. That roof, was the cause of his death.

Listed as one of the House of Representatives’ “poorest” members since winning a party-list seat in 2001, Beltran refused to pay his electricity bills in April 2002 in protest against the Purchased Power Adjustment rate (PPA) charged by Manila Electric Co.

I am sure that he was a good man. As a Congressman, most people would suddenly get rich even if we all know that working in the government won't make you rich.'
