It was so shocking and disgusting!
It's Christmas time, and yet we got this! I know these criminals don't believe in Christmas for doing this horrible thing. Is sowing fear and killing innocent people make these criminals happy? If they could only see the pregnant wife of the dead baggage staff. It's so disheartening.
We love this city and we want it to grow. Iliganons are peace-loving people, with a ready smile to greet even a stranger on the street.
I hope everybody will take a minute or two to pray for the victims. And let's pray also, that these ruthless criminals be enlightened to stop hurting innocent civilians.
