“It is unfortunate that many of these killings remain unsolved as the principal suspects are either at large or unknown,” Dael said in a pastoral letter issued on Tuesday, April 4.
CAGAYAN DE ORO – The Catholic prelate in Tandag City urged the Philippine National Police to solve the killings in Surigao del Sur, which had left 46 people dead, including students, retired soldiers, traders, and even faith healers.
Dael said the unsolved killings have perpetuated fear and anguish among the families of the victims and the residents of Surigao del Sur. “The rising number of killings reached 46 from August last year to January this year, not counting the incidents from February to March this year,“ he said. Dael also addressed the faithful, saying, “As Christians, we cannot be passive and silent bystanders to any wrongdoing, especially when it harms the dignity of human life. Our stand for life is rooted in our faith in the Son of God who became man and died for all humanity.”
