President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Sunday denounced any form of political violence after the shooting incident at former US President Donald Trump's political rally in Pennsylvania.
In his condemnation of the incident through social media, President Marcos emphasized that the voice of the people must always be preserved.
"Together with all democracy-loving peoples around the world, we condemn all forms of political violence," Marcos wrote on X.
"The voice of the people must always remain supreme," Marcos added.
Marcos also expressed his well wishes upon learning that the former US President was safe following the assassination attempt.
Trump was shot in the ear during a Saturday campaign rally (US Time), causing blood to streak across his face. His security agents quickly surrounded him, but he soon reappeared, pumping his fist in the air and seemingly mouthing the words "Fight! Fight! Fight!"
Reports stated that the attacker was later killed by a Secret Service member. One spectator was also killed and two others were critically injured during the shooting incident.
