The Commission on Human Rights on Saturday issued a statement denouncing the bombing of a chapel during a mass in Cotabato City. "The Commission deplores all acts of violence, especially those targeted against groups who identify with certain religious beliefs, as these run counter to the progress that we have reached towards promoting religious freedom across the country," the CHR said.
"We echo the call that people of faith should be able to freely exercise their beliefs as this is enshrined in both domestic policies and international human rights standards," the CHR emphasized. Presidential peace adviser Secretary Carlito Galvez Jr. earlier this week urged residents of Cotabato City and other areas in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao to "remain vigilant" following the attack.
