SPARE CIVILIANS
The twin grenade attacks in Maasim Saturday evening that took the life of one civilian and wounded 32 others have once again reared the ugly head of terror in the countryside.
For whatever reason the perpetrators did the dastardly act, there is no justification whatsoever for any attack against civilians and communities wanting to live in peace.
Coming on the eve of the town’s 37th Foundation Anniversary and hardly a year after the bloody assault at the town hall, the latest treacherous attack only unmask the diabolical motives of the group and persons behind the reprehensible incident.
As I have been repeatedly saying, I abhor any form of violence, especially against civilians.
We are here to live in peace and harmony.
Whoever were behind the cowardly act are utterly wrong if their purpose is to sow fear and terrorize the people of Maasim and Sarangani.
On the contrary, these acts of terror will only galvanize our resolve to protect our community and strengthen our unity.
We will not be cowed into fear and submission.
To them I say, spare the civilians. And you will have your day in court if not here, in some other places and time.
To the people of Sarangani and the victims of the grenade explosion, I offer my deepest sympathy and assure them that justice is on the way.
Let not this incident drive us into our cocoons. Let this be the spark that will unite us all.
