Statement of Sen. Sonny Angara on the bushfire crisis in Australia
We offer our prayers for Australia as it copes with one of the worst bushfires in the country’s history.
Our heart breaks as we witness the scope of the devastation. The impact of the fires on the Australian wildlife, the images of which have been seen by the entire world, has left us all with mental and emotional scars that will stay with us for the rest of our lives. We laud the wildlife welfare organizations for its efforts to help the injured animals and join in the appeal for donations to support the work they are doing.
