PH gov’t denounces Bangkok bomb attack

INQUIRER.net By: Kristine Angeli Sabillo, Nestor Corrales, August 18th, 2015 12:43 PM Communications Secretary speaks to media in this file photo. INQUIRER The Philippine government on Tuesday denounced the bombing in central Bangkok, which has killed at least 20 people. “We condemn the bomb attack that killed and wounded scores of tourists, commuters and residents in Bangkok, Thailand, last night,” Communications Secretary Herminio Coloma Jr. said in a statement. “This violent incident underlines the need for solidarity against those who sow terror and inflict violence,” he added. Coloma said the Philippine embassy in Thailand is still coordinating with authorities “to ascertain the safety and well-being of our citizens.” Reports from Thai media said a Filipino was among those killed in the blast but the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) said was still no confirmation of the news. “The Philippine Embassy in Bangkok is in coordination with the hospitals in the area to verify if any Filipinos are among those who perished or have been injured and to provide assistance,” DFA Secretary Albert de Rosario said in a statement. In the statement, Rosario deplored the “horrific” bombing which “apparently has the intention to sow terror.” He said Filipinos in Bangkok had been advised by our Embassy to remain calm and to observe necessary precautions to ensure their safety.
