Fidel V. Agcaoili, National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP) Negotiating Panel chairperson, passed away Thursday in Utrecht, The Netherlands at the age of 75.

“The (NDFP) announces with deep sorrow the untimely passing of Ka Fidel V. Agcaoili today, 23 July 2020 at 12:45pm in Utrecht, The Netherlands. He would have turned 76 on 8 August,” said Jose Maria Sison’s post on Facebook.

Agcaoili dies because of a pulmonary arterial rupture which caused massive internal bleeding. “It was not Covid-19 related,” it added.

His remains will be flown to the Philippines in accordance with the wishes of his family, the NDFP said.
