United in Grief, Together in Strength:

We are deeply shocked and heartbroken by the tragic events that unfolded on Lapu Lapu Day in Vancouver. Our hearts mourn for the lives lost and the families left to endure this unimaginable pain. Words cannot fully express the sorrow and anguish that have befallen the Vancouver community, and our thoughts and prayers are with all those affected.

In this time of grief, we are reminded of the strength we draw from standing together. The magnitude of this tragedy has left us all in disbelief, and we find ourselves at a loss for words to convey the depth of our collective sorrow.

To our Kababayan in Vancouver, we mourn alongside you, though miles may separate us. We stand in solidarity, united in grief. Let us honor the lives we’ve lost and cherish the memories they’ve left behind. In this moment of darkness, remember that you are not alone—we are here with you, offering our love, support, and strength. In unity, we find the courage to heal, and together, we will rise above this tragedy.
