Many celebrities have expressed their condolences to the families of the fourty four members of PNP-SAF who have fallen from a fight with the rebels in Mamasapano, Maguindanao. But the post which stood out most was from just married Kapuso actor Dingdong Dantes.
Reading his Instagram post is like reading it from someone expressing his desire to run in Congress come 2016. And we quote:
"I mourn with the Filipino People for the fall of our SAF personnel."
"There is no pain as excruciating as what the loved ones of our fallen Special Action Forces (SAF) in Maguindanao are now experiencing, especially when the new year just ushered in – a time when we all try to be doubly hopeful that things will be better in the days to come."
"What could have been a successful campaign against one of Southeast Asia’s most dreaded terrorists, Malaysian national Zulkifli Bin Hir, ended up as a botched military operation that terminated the lives of forty-four SAF members of the Philippine NationalPolice, two of them our Muslim brothers themselves."
"Indeed, these SAF personnel rightfully deserve to be called heroes."
"But only TRUTH and JUSTICE can provide eternal peace to their souls and heal the wounds inflicted upon us, especially to their families."
"As a reservist of the Philippine Marine Corps, I throw my firm salute to our fallen comrades in uniform, just as we mourn today for all these loss in the town of Mamasapano."
"Let peace reign even when we are all in pain."
