Statement of Condemnation of the Bombing at the Philippine Congress

By the National Alliance for Filipino Concerns (NAFCON)
For Reference: Rico Foz; nafconusa@yahoo.com

In the strongest possible terms, we condemn the latest bombing of the House of Representatives where at least three people ­ Basilan Rep. Wahab Akbar, an employee, and a driver - died, while two other solons were critically wounded along with at least five employees. It is reprehensible that this incident should happen in the premises of Congress and at a time when two impeachment complaints against President Gloria M. Arroyo are pending in the House, while investigation on the latest cases of corruption and bribery involving the President is likewise ongoing in the Senate.
