STATEMENT OF STRONG CONDEMNATION
This Office expresses profound grief and condemns, in the strongest terms, the tragic ambush that occurred in Shariff Aguak on March 28, 2026, which resulted in the death of five (5) police officers and the injury of three (3) others in the lawful performance of their duties.
The killing and injury of law enforcement personnel constitute a grave violation of the rule of law and an affront to public order, public safety, and the fundamental principles of justice and humanity. Such acts are unjustifiable under any circumstance and must be unequivocally denounced.
We extend our deepest sympathies and heartfelt condolences to the families, loved ones, and colleagues of the fallen officers. We stand in steadfast solidarity with those who continue to serve, despite the inherent risks, in safeguarding peace and security in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao.
We call on the Bangsamoro people to remain calm, vigilant, and cooperative with authorities. This Office reaffirms its unwavering commitment to uphold the rule of law, protect the sanctity of life, and advance lasting peace and security in our communities.
