President Benigno S. Aquino III remains committed to serving justice to the families of the 44 police commandos who perished in the January 25 Mamasapano clash, and to achieving lasting peace in Mindanao, a Palace official said on Wednesday.
“He remains firmly committed to rendering justice as well as pursuing the peace process,” Deputy Presidential Spokesperson Abigail Valte said on Wednesday.
“It would be unfortunate if the peace process suffers or is stopped because of this particular incident,” she said.
Valte said the President recognizes the feelings of the grieving families as well as the general public.
“Patuloy siyang nakikinig upang higit pang maunawaan ang saloobin ng kanyang mga boss – ang mga mamamayan – at maging karapat-dapat sa kanilang patuloy na pagtitiwala,” she said. PND (as) |
