CIBAC Party-List Representative Bro. Eddie Villanueva extends his deepest sympathies and prayers to the people of Cebu and the Visayas region following the devastating 6.9 magnitude earthquake that struck last night, claiming lives and displacing families.
“We mourn with the families who lost loved ones in this tragedy and pray for those who are in hospitals. Our prayers rise to the Lord for comfort and strength for those who grieve, and for protection over our rescuers, volunteers, and emergency responders who are risking their lives to save others,” Rep. Villanueva said.
The CIBAC solon also called on government agencies and local authorities to ensure swift relief and safety measures.
“In times like these, we must stand united as one people—government, civil society, and church communities alike—to extend compassion, provide aid, and uphold the dignity of our kababayans affected by this calamity,” he added.
“As it is written in Psalm 46:1, ‘God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.’ May this truth be our source of courage as we rebuild and recover,” Villanueva concluded. #
