May 02, 2011
“The global fight against terrorism has achieved a historic milestone. Justice has been served,” thus commented Senator Loren Legarda on the death of Al Qaeda head Osama bin Laden.
Senator Loren Legarda, Chair of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, praised the dedication and hard work of all the people who have been involved in the global fight against terrorism.
“Thousands of innocent lives have been lost on account of the unspeakable consequences of terrorism. I am sure this development brings relief to the families of victims, and to the rest of our freedom-loving communities around the world,” added Legarda.
Senator Legarda underscored the importance of cooperation among nations in the global fight against terrorism. She noted that the Philippines has made its own contribution to this effort and called for stronger alliances “to keep our communities safe”.
“Our role in the global fight against terrorism is clear. That role begins with us ensuring the safety of our own people within our shores. We need to strengthen intelligence efforts and continue to work with the rest of the global community by sharing information, and mutually reinforcing each other’s capacities against terrorism,” said Legarda.
“This development brings us a step closer to our goal of achieving security and peace of mind for our global citizens, travelers, and communities; however, the global fight against terrorism continues.” She added.
“The death of Bin Laden does not end the specter of terrorism. It underscores the fallibility of those who threaten our security. Because of this, we need to remain vigilant against threats to our democratic way of life. We need to continue working with other nations as we seek to make the world a safer place to live in,” Legarda concluded.

“Isang mahalagang bahagi ito ng pandaigdigang kampanya laban sa terorismo. Sa wakas, nagwagi din ang katarungan.”
Ito ang reaksyon ni Senador Loren Legarda sa pagkakapaslang kay Osama bn Laden, puno ng teroristang grupong Al Qaeda.
Binigyang papuri ni Legarda ang lahat ng nakibahagi sa kampanya para mahuli ang tinuturing na numero-unong terorista sa buong mundo.
“Libu-libong inosenteng buhay ang naibuwis dahil sa terorismo. Sigurado akong parang nabunutan ng tinik ang pamilya ng kanyang mga naging biktima, pati na ang mga malayang mamamayan ng mundo,” dagdag ni Legarda.
Muling idiniin ni Senador Legarda ang kahalagahan ng pagtutulungan ng mga bansa para supilin ang terorismo. Sa kampanyang ito, naging isang importanteng kakampi ang Pilipinas.
“Ang tungkulin natin sa pandaigdigang kampanya laban sa terorismo ay malinaw. Saklaw nito ang paninigurong ligtas ang mga mamamayan sa anumang pakana ng mga terorista. Kailangan ang pagtutulungan gaya ng intelligence sharing at pagpapalakas sa kapasidad ng bawat isa laban sa mga terorista,” ani Legarda.
“Napaka-importante ng pangyayaring ito para sa seguridad at kapayapaan sa buong mundo. Magkakaroon na ng kapayapaan sa puso ang mga mamamayan ng ng mundo – mga manggagawa sa ibang bansa, mga manlalakbay. ero hindi ito dahilan para ibaba natin ang ating depensa. Hindi natatapos sa pagkamatay ni bn Laden ang problema ng terorismo. Kaya dapat, patuloy pa rin tayong magbantay para masiguro ang kaligtasan nating lahat,” diin ng senador.
