Upon hearing the news of a shooting at Resorts World Manila, Lt. Governor Ray Tenorio, reached out to the Philippines Consulate General’s Office.
“I spoke with Gary, as the Consulate General is in the Philippines, and expressed my condolences and prayers for the people of the Philippines as it goes through this terrible event,“ said Lt. Governor Ray Tenorio. “The news was a shock and truly saddens me, as we just marked Philippines Independence Month with a proclamation last night.”

His tirade created panic and caused the injuries to many people who sought to escape the gunfire. Resorts World Manila is a popular site for tourists from around the world, including Guam.
