PAKIKIDALAMHATI SA LAHAT NG NASALANTA NG LINDOL
*Akbayan Senator Risa Hontiveros on the 6.1 Luzon earthquake

Ako ay lubos na nakikidalamhati sa ating mga kababayan sa Pampanga at Zambales at sa lahat ng nasalanta ng 6.1 magnitude na lindol kahapon. My sincerest condolences go out to the families who lost loved ones and friends in the disaster.

I would also like to express my support to our first responders, emergency personnel and rescue workers who are even at this very moment working very hard to assess the damage, look for survivors, and help the affected communities recover.

It is important that even as we express our solidarity with one another, we remain calm and help our communities rebuild. I highly encourage all of us to keep ourselves informed at all times, to help inform others, to keep communication lines open and to work with the proper authorities on the correct procedures and emergency protocols.
