The Misamis Occidental PDRRMO immediately repatriated and assisted the affected Misamisnon students by fetching them directly from the MSU in Marawi City. The PGMO and local government units from Oroquieta City, Tangub City, and Sinacaban deployed vehicles and 2 ambulances in the area to transport them from Marawi City back to their residences in Misamis Occidental.

Gov. Oaminal expressed empathy and was deeply saddened by the unprecedented explosion of the improvised explosive device during the Catholic Mass on the First Sunday of Advent.

The governor also condemned the heinous act of terror that claimed four innocent lives, including one from Tangub City, and wounded more than 50 civilians.

“I extend my most heartfelt condolences to the victims, their loved ones, and the MSU community that have been the target of this latest assault on peace. As of the latest update, of those wounded, four are from our Province,” the government stated.

Hence, Gov. Oaminal vowed to provide support and assistance to those affected Misamisnons by the tragedy.

“Rest assured that the Provincial Government of Misamis Occidental in partnership with the Municipal and City Chief Executives are committed to giving assistance and support to those affected by the bombing,” he said. (SN/PGMO)
