What other people are saying about Fr. Fausto's death

I have no hesitation to call Fr. Fausto Tentorio, PIME, as a martyr for justice and peace.-Abp. Orlando Quevedo (mindanews.com)

“All our peace efforts will be in vain if we cannot give justice to his death. He committed himself to work with the people in North Cotabato,” – North Cotabato Gov. Emmylou  Mendoza (mindanews.com)

“Napakabait na pari yan. He really cooperated here during our meetings or any activities. Pero sa pagpatay sa kanya, malaking issue ito dito,”  - Police Chief Inspector Benjamin Rioflorido

“Justice should be immediately rendered for Fr. Tentorio and all victims of summary executions. Such climate of impunity exists to this day, thus victimizing anti-mining advocates such as Fr. Tentorio because of the non-prosecution of those accountable for the previous cases of human rights violations and the existing counter-insurgency plan Oplan Bayanihan of the Aquino administration.” - Cristina Palabay, End Impunity Alliance Convenor (mindanaoexaminer.com)

“For a fellow missionary who selflessly worked to help the Indigenous Peoples and the poor farmers of Arakan Valley in North Cotabato to die in such a manner, we are saddened by the fact that there are sectors in our society who are against our work to help bring about peace in Mindanao,” Fr. Lauro de Guia, OMI provincial superior said in a statement. (newslinktv.blogspot.com, interaksyon.com)

Needless waste of compassionate & dedicated people. –Danilo Reyes on Twitter

Fr. Tentorio was a man of few words and few of his writings remain. But the love that the natives had for him, alive and now dead, remains strong.-Bernardo Cervellera, www.asianews.it

“This is a very sad incident… this is very painful for us because all the while we thought Kidapawan is already a peaceful place,” he said.- Kidapawan Bishop Romulo dela Cruz , cbcpnews.com
