MANILA, Philippines: Presidential Peace Adviser Carlito Galvez Jr. has expressed his condemnation of the “barbaric act” that took place at the Mindanao State University (MSU) on Sunday. In the wake of the bombing, Galvez’s office is actively coordinating with the leaders of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) to provide assistance to the victims and their families.
The attack occurred during a Mass and the celebration of the Mindanao Week of Peace, further highlighting the ruthless methods employed by lawless elements to instill fear, anger, and animosity among the people. Galvez firmly asserts that such barbaric acts have no place in a humane, civilized, and peaceful society.
Galvez emphasizes that the Marcos Administration will spare no effort in ensuring that the perpetrators are brought to justice. The Office of the Presidential Adviser on Peace, Reconciliation, and Unity (OPAPRU) is actively engaged with BARMM leaders to facilitate the necessary assistance for the victims and their families.
“As we mourn the loss of those who have perished, let us unite and work hand in hand to prevent such incidents from happening again,” Galvez urges. He emphasizes the importance of promoting a culture of peace, mutual understanding, and solidarity across the nation.
The MSU bombing has sent shockwaves throughout the country, as it targeted a place of worship and a significant event promoting peace. The attack serves as a grim reminder of the challenges faced in maintaining peace and security in the region.
Galvez’s swift response and commitment to justice demonstrate the government’s determination to address these acts of violence. By coordinating with BARMM leaders, the Office of the Presidential Adviser on Peace, Reconciliation, and Unity aims to provide immediate support to the victims and their families, lessening their burden during this difficult time.
It is crucial to recognize the international context in which this incident occurs. The Philippines, like many other nations, grapples with the threat of terrorism and extremist ideologies. The government’s resolute stance against such acts is not only aimed at protecting its citizens but also sending a clear message to the international community that it will not tolerate violence.
Galvez’s call for unity resonates beyond the borders of the Philippines. In a world plagued by division and conflict, fostering a culture of peace, mutual understanding, and solidarity is a shared responsibility. By working together, nations can create an environment where acts of violence are condemned and justice prevails.
The MSU bombing serves as a somber reminder of the need to remain vigilant against those who seek to disrupt peace and sow discord. It is a call to action for governments, communities, and individuals to stand united against terrorism and extremism.
As the investigation into the bombing continues, the international community stands in solidarity with the Philippines. The support and assistance provided by the Marcos Administration, in collaboration with BARMM leaders, will not only aid the victims and their families but also reinforce the nation’s commitment to peace and security.
In the face of adversity, the resilience and determination of the Filipino people shine through. The condemnation of this barbaric act and the swift response to provide assistance demonstrate the unwavering commitment to peace and justice.
Together, as a global community, we must stand against acts of violence and work towards a future where peace and understanding prevail.
