I am deeply saddened by the devastating earthquake that has struck Cebu and neighbouring areas of the Philippines. The loss and hardship endured by so many families weigh heavily on us, and Malaysia mourns with the people of the Philippines in this time of grief. On behalf of the Government and people of Malaysia, I extend our heartfelt condolences and sympathies to the Government and people of the Philippines, especially to the families who have lost their loved ones. Our thoughts and prayers are also with the injured, the displaced and all those whose lives have been disrupted by this tragedy. Malaysia stands in full solidarity with the Philippines. We will do what we can to support relief and recovery efforts, and we pray that the strength and resilience of the Filipino people will carry them through these difficult days.
