ABS CBN- Former president and now Pampanga 2nd District Rep. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo on Monday condoled with victims of tropical storm Sendong in Mindanao and urged Filipinos to pray for the victims. In a handwritten statement released to reporters, Arroyo joined the country in sending condolences to flood victims in Cagayan de Oro and other parts of Mindanao. She particularly singled out the devastation in Iligan City where she said, she spent a lot of time when she was a child. Arroyo spent her childhood in Iligan where her family maintains an ancestral house.
"Nakikiisa ako sa buong bansang nakikiramay sa pagkawala ng napakaraming buhay pati na rin sa mga nasalanta na nawalan ng tahanan nitong nakaraang bagyo. Umabot sa kaalaman ng inyong lingkod ang lawak ng kalamidad at pagkasira ng kabuhayan ng mga sawing palad nating mga kababayan. Sana ang lahat ay mga alay ng dasal para sa kanilang kaligtasan," she said, Mrs. Arroyo also urged her fellow officials to do away with misunderstandings and band together to help victims of the tragedy.
