Mindanao State University System joins the nation in mourning the tragic incident in Zamboanga City.

Our hearts are with the families who lost their loved ones, the injured, and every student, parent, and educator affected by this tragedy.

This is a painful reminder that our children must always be safe, heard, and cared for. Schools must remain places of learning, hope, and security.

We must also take mental health seriously. Many young people carry struggles we may not see. Let us listen more, reach out sooner, and make help accessible without fear or stigma.

Every child deserves to feel safe. Every child deserves to be heard. Every child deserves our care.

Mindanao State University stands with the Zamboanga community in grief, prayer, and solidarity.
