A star was born to Maffo to become a great and brilliant star, a man who continues to be a light to illuminate the way.
The brightness that emanates from the heart of Orlando Pantoja Tamayo, transcends his homeland with undying love, transcends Cuba as an unwavering guerrilla and spreads in Latin America as a hero of all times.
Fidelity to the revolutionary cause, humanism and combativeness speak of Olo’s greatness, of that unquenchable star, whose sparkles shine in the Sierra committed to the olive green Army that blessed us with freedom.
And it was in that same group of rebels, where your light became more immense when you embraced the doctrines of Che and won his trust to be the “Antonio of the Guerrilla” in distant lands in need of your fearlessness.
Because your dazzling figure conjugated in diverse spaces, is an honor that makes the Homeland proud, is a jewel that shines the country, even in difficult moments, is an itinerary that indicates the path of other nations, is a soul never to be forgotten.
Today, October 2nd, Contramaestre knows you by heart, evoking that bright star that encourages not to give up, to keep intact that peace dressed with conquests and compass of successes.
Your legacy transcends in a simple people, who venerate the birth of an immortal son, of a guerrilla forged with his own light, of a humble but immense man who was born to become a star of dignity.
