Sen. Bam on the Declaration of Martial Law in Mindanao

Our thoughts and prayers are with our countrymen in the front lines and all the Filipino families tormented by these attacks.

Under these severe circumstances, we respect the President's decision to declare martial law, but will ensure that the constitutional process is followed.

Our priority must be our brothers and sisters in Marawi and Lanao del Sur.

Let's throw our support behind the AFP and mobilize resources to aid our countrymen in Mindanao.

These dark days call for vigilance and solidarity.
