"We mourn for the loss of lives tonight & pray for the fast recovery of the injured including our personnel. While our team assess and investigate the situation in Quiapo, I urge everyone to remain vigilant and provide cooperation to our policemen especially those living the area of explosion. Your authorities are on top of the situation, while there is no reason for the public to be alarmed, I request everyone especially those on social media to please refrain from posting and passing on unconfirmed information so we do not sow fear or mislead the public. Also, please report immediately to the police anything out of the ordinary. We will update you on the case as soon as our team will complete assessment in the area. We assure everyone that we will leave no stones unturned until we make arrests and give justice to the victims. Meantime, I order all our policemen on the ground to stay alert and focused in securing their areas of responsbility. Finally, please allow us to do our job and we will inform everyone on the progress of the investigation. Thank you."
