Speaker Romualdez: Mga Pinoy sa israel prayoridad ng gobyerno
NAKIISA si Speaker Ferdinand Martin G. Romualdez sa pagkondena sa terorismo at karahasan na resulta ng aksyon ng Hamas laban sa Israel.
Sinabi ni Speaker Romualdez na ang pagkamatay ng dalawang Pilipino sa Israel ay paalala ng masamang dulot ng kaguluhan sa mga inosenteng buhay.
“The recent loss of two Filipino nationals serves as a somber reminder of the heavy toll conflict takes on innocent lives. I join the nation in our unequivocal condemnation of all acts of terrorism and violence, especially as a result of the actions of Hamas against Israel,” ani Speaker Romualdez.
Umapela si Speaker Romualdez sa mga naglalabang kampo na tiyaking hindi madadamay ang mga inosenteng buhay kasama ang mga Pilipinong naroroon.
“Upholding the tenets of international law and the relevant UN Security Council Resolutions is essential, and the Philippines stands ready to cooperate with the international community towards a peaceful and lasting resolution,” sabi pa ng lider ng Kamara na mayroong mahigit 300 miyembro.
Sinabi ni Speaker Romualdez na nananatiling ang mga Pilipino sa Israel at Palestina ang pangunahing prayoridad ng gobyerno.
“Above all, the well-being of our kababayans in both Israel and Palestine remains our top priority, and we remain steadfast in our commitment to their safety and in providing all necessary assistance,” saad pa nito.
Nakiramay rin si Kabayan Rep. Ron Salo, chairman ng House committee on overseas workers affairs, sa pagkamatay ng dalawang Filipino.
“With a heavy heart, I extend my deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of our fellow Filipinos who lost their lives in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine. Their tragic passing pains us deeply, and our thoughts and prayers are with their grieving families,” ani Salo.
“This unfortunate incident underscores the urgency of our response. We must take immediate and decisive steps to address the escalating situation in Israel and Gaza and ensure the safety of our Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) and their families,” pahayag ni Salo.
“In light of this, I reiterate my call for the creation of a dedicated Crisis Management and Response Task Force. This task force will closely monitor the situation and implement a swift and comprehensive response, ensuring the safety and welfare of our kababayans caught in the crossfire and providing the necessary support and assistance for their immediate evacuation and repatriation when needed. The hardships and sacrifices faced by our OFWs in conflict areas are incomprehensible. We can only admire their resiliency, and at the same time, assure them that the government is always ready to support them in this time of need,” pahayag ni Salo.
