The Embassy conveyed today its deepest condolences to the parents and sibling of James Alexander McMullan, Filipino-British citizen, who has now been officially confirmed to be one of the fatalities in the terror attack in London last Saturday.

The Embassy has been in touch with Simon and Milagros McMullan, parents of James, to express the profound sadness with which the Filipino community in London and elsewhere greeted his untimely death, and to reassure them of the Embassy’s readiness to assist on matters concerning James as a Filipino citizen.

Our thoughts and prayers go to the McMullan and Meregillano families during this difficult time.  We join the United Kingdom and the rest of the world in condemning terrorism and violent extremism committed in the guise of religion.  These actions will never weaken our resolve to work for peace, tolerance and understanding so that all peoples could live together in peace.

The Embassy continues to coordinate with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and the Metropolitan Police on any other matter concerning Filipino citizens as a result of last Saturday’s incidents.
