NANAWAGAN si Speaker Ferdinand Martin G. Romualdez sa mga Pilipino na ipamalas ang kanilang pagmamahal at pagbibigay ng pagkilala sa mga nasawi sa pananalasa ng bagyong Kristine sa “Day of National Mourning.”

“Let this day be a reminder that we are bound together, that we are a nation defined not just by resilience but by our deep compassion for one another,” ani Speaker Romualdez kaugnay ng paglalabas ni Pangulong Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. ng Proclamation No. 728.

“As we observe this Day of National Mourning, let each of us find it in our hearts to offer a moment of prayer, a word of comfort, or a gesture of kindness for those who are grieving and those who are rebuilding their lives,” dagdag pa ng lider ng Kamara de Representantes.

Tinatayang aabot sa 150 indibidwal, karamihan ay mula sa Bicol, ang nasawi sanhi ng malawakang pagbaha bunsod ng bagyo.

“Our fellow Filipinos – mothers, fathers, children, friends, neighbors – are no longer with us,” pahayag ni Speaker Romualdez. “They leave behind loved ones who carry the heavy burden of loss, and entire communities touched by sorrow.”

“It is a day for every Filipino to pause, reflect, and honor the memory of those whose lives were tragically taken by Severe Tropical Storm Kristine,” dagdag ni Speaker Romualdez.

“May the souls of those who perished rest in peace, and may we, as one Filipino family, find strength in each other as we move forward. Together, let us remember, let us grieve, and let us help one another rise from this tragedy with renewed hope and unity,” saad pa ng House chief.

“To each family mourning the loss of a loved one, we stand beside you, sharing in your pain. Your heartbreak is felt by the entire nation, and today, in this national moment of remembrance, you are not alone,” pagtiyak ni Speaker Romualdez sa mga naulilang pamilya.

“This day of mourning calls us to compassion and solidarity. As we remember those lost, we extend our deepest sympathies to every family affected, to every community struggling to recover,” saad pa ng pinuno ng partidong Lakas–Christian Muslim Democrats.
