Lower House Solons Condemn Terror Attack on Nice

AKO Bicol Representative Rodel M. Batocabe filed a house resolution condemning

the terror attack on Nice, France last July 14, 2016, which caused the death of 84
people and injured hundreds during the celebration of the Bastille Day.
There is never a good reason to take away the lives of others, more so with hate in
mind, said AKO Bicol Representative Rodel M. Batocabe, such bestial act of
haplessly taking the lives of innocents has no place everywhere, whether in France
or in the Philippines.
In the resolution, Batocabe wrote that the members of the House of Representatives
condemn the terror attack in Nice, France, joining the French people in the clarion
call for peace, sobriety, and understanding, amidst these continuing attacks on
civilians.
Senseless, atrocious, and indefensible attacks such as these sow nothing but fear
in peoples hearts, in a world so lacking in faith, hope, and love, said Batocabe,
the 250-strong members of the House of Representatives are one in condoling with
the French as they go through another period of grief and recovery.
Batocabe noted the previous attacks on the French, namely the shooting in the
office of the Parisian satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo and the synchronized terror
attack in Bataclan, all within the span of two years from the Bastille Day incident.
On July 14, 2016, a purportedly soldier of Islam plowed through a crowd of various
people celebrating Bastille Day. Police stopped and shot the perpetrator shortly
after.
