Farewell with honors to Senafront sergeant, victim of a hit-and-run

In Panama, a funeral with full honors was held on Wednesday morning for the body of Senafront Sergeant Second Class Moisés Castillo, who passed away after a fatal accident. The official funeral service took place in the parish of San Juan Bautista, located in Chiriquí province, with the participation of high-ranking officials from the National Borders Service (Senafront). Castillo died on December 13th after being run over in the early hours at the entrance to Panama Pacifico (Howard) in West Panama, while he was on the roadside changing a tire on his vehicle to head to his workplace. Hector de Sedas, Senafront's secretary general, assured that it was a very sad farewell in Chiriquí, as that was the region Castillo was from. 'The commitment remains latent in each of the men and women who continue to serve the homeland, as heaven has won a new sentinel who from above continues to protect the country,' he added.
