Washington — Today, Congressman Darrell Issa (CA-48) issued the following statement in response to the terrorist attack during a church service in Marawi City, Philippines on Sunday:
“Yesterday’s deadly attack during a Catholic mass being held at the Mindanao State University represents a tragic reminder of the continued danger the free world faces from terror groups that will strike innocent people in any corner of the world at any time.
“Today we stand with the people of the Philippines as they mourn the victims of terror and pledge to them our continued support of the timeless values we share and the love of freedom that binds us together. The Philippines has no more loyal friend than the United States and this is a time for us to strengthen our vital alliance.”

The District encompasses the central and eastern parts of San Diego County and a portion of Riverside County, including the communities of Fallbrook, Valley Center, Ramona, Escondido, Santee, Lakeside, Poway, Temecula, Murrieta, and the mountain and desert areas of the San Diego-Imperial County line.
