The Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace, Reconciliation and Unity (OPAPRU) strongly condemns this morning’s bombing incident at the Mindanao State University, Marawi City, which claimed the lives of four people and wounded scores of others.
Presidential Adviser on Peace Process Sec. Carlito Galvez conveyed yesterday, We extend our deepest condolences and prayers to the families of the victims, and to the students and faculty of MSU. May you have the strength and courage to cope with the painful loss of your loved ones and carry on in the face of this immense tragedy.
This horrendous attack, which happened during a Mass and the celebration of the Mindanao Week of Peace, shows the ruthless methods that these lawless elements will utilize to sow fear, anger, and animosity among our people. We will not allow this to happen, the peace adviser stressed.
Such a barbaric act has no room in a humane civilized, peaceful society. Rest assured that the Marcos Administration will not leave any stone unturned to ensure that the perpetrators are brought to the bar of justice, the good secretay stressed.
Our agency is also in touch with the leadership of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) so that we can provide the necessary assistance to the victims and their families, Galvez added
“As we mourn the loss of those who have perished, let us unite and work hand in hand so that we can help prevent such incidents from happening again, as we continue to promote the culture of peace, mutual understanding, and solidarity across our nation,” he said.
