Cavite 4th District Representative Elpidio “Pidi” Barzaga Jr. passed away on Saturday, April 27, at the age of 74.
“It is with heavy hearts that we announce his passing in California,” his wife, Dasmariñas City Mayor Jenny Austria-Barzaga, stated on Facebook.
On October 30, 2023, Barzaga disclosed his departure for the United States to undergo open-heart surgery.
Barzaga gained attention in 2020 during the hearings for the renewal of ABS-CBN's congressional franchise. Notably, he referenced Wikipedia as a source of information during these proceedings. He was among the 70 representatives who voted against the franchise renewal.
