The Philippines strongly condemns the suicide attack at a police training college in Quetta, Pakistan on October 24.

The deplorable attack, which took the lives of 61 cadets and wounded more than 160 others, has no place in a civilized society.

The Philippine Embassy in Islamabad, Pakistan continues to monitor the situation. As of this writing, there are no Filipinos among the casualties in the said bombing.

Should the tension continue to escalate, Filipino nationals in Pakistan may contact the Philippine Embassy at +92 333 524 4762.

We extend our most heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families and sympathy to the injured. END
