MANILA — Describing the Sunday bombing at the Mindanao State University (MSU) as “vicious and unprovoked”, Lanao del Sur Rep. Zia Alonto Adiong has strongly condemned the attack during the Sunday service inside the main campus.
The lawmaker called on the national government to leave no stone unturned until the perpetrators of “this vile act” are brought to justice.
“My heart lies in pieces upon hearing that there was a vicious and unprovoked attack on innocent citizens attending a Sunday service at the Mindanao State University main campus this (Sunday) morning,” Adiong said.
He added that during these dark moments, “it is essential for us to unite in solidarity, demonstrating that love and compassion can overcome hatred.”
“Let us stand together as a community, providing solace and strength to one another as we mourn the senseless loss of life,” Adiong said.
He further stressed: “There is no room in Marawi, in Lanao, or the entire Philippines for them,” Adiong added.
“It is the bare minimum that we must do to ensure that the right to life of our citizens is protected. Let this be a statement of our government’s enduring commitment to human rights and a lasting peace,” the lawmaker said.
