DFA Secretary Teddy Boy Locsin Jr. paid his respect to Yasay by tweeting the following:
“Jun Yasay has donned the garment of immortality,” text said. More important it makes him finally impervious to pain. He recommended me for my UN job. He hurt no one and helped everyone he could. He did what many fighting tyranny had to: shield themselves with US law.”
