In her message, Tuesday said the incident served as a painful reminder of the importance of protecting children and ensuring that schools remain safe places for students. As a mother, she admitted that the tragedy touched on a fear she has carried for a long time whenever her own children leave the house.
“Bilang magulang ay matagal na akong may takot sa tuwing lalabas ng bahay ang aking anak,” she said.

“Safety concern lamang ba ito o mas malalim pa?” she asked.
Tuesday noted that today’s young generation is facing pressures that adults may not always fully understand. She pointed to societal expectations, the constant noise of the digital world, isolation and emotional struggles that can remain hidden from the people around them.
“I know this generation is dealing with a lot more than what we can comprehend,” she wrote.
For Tuesday, the tragedy highlighted how serious the emotional and mental health challenges confronting young people have become. She said Filipino youth are carrying burdens that can sometimes be overwhelming, particularly when emotional pain and despair remain unaddressed.
She also raised the issue of access to firearms, warning that when intense anger or hopelessness intersects with easy access to lethal weapons, the consequences can become irreversible.
Tuesday consequently called on parents and gun owners to take concrete precautions at home. She urged firearm owners to properly secure their guns and keep ammunition separated to help prevent accidents and other potentially devastating incidents.
“MAGING RESPONSABLENG GUN OWNER,” she emphasized.
But Neri’s appeal extended beyond firearm safety. She also encouraged parents and other adults to spend more time genuinely checking on young people and listening to what they may be going through.
For her, protecting children cannot be accomplished by schools alone. Families and communities must also take responsibility for creating environments where young people feel heard, supported and protected.
Tuesday stressed that the problems affecting the younger generation did not emerge overnight. She described the situation as an ongoing crisis involving the emotional and mental well-being of children and adolescents, saying it requires serious study and a coordinated response.
She called for assistance from the government, as well as swift and genuine justice for the victims and their families. Tuesday also expressed hope that the tragedy would prompt authorities and communities to examine what more can be done to prevent similar incidents.
Hindi ito kahapon lamang nabuo.
May matinding crisis sa emotional and mental well being ang ating mga kabataan.
“Our schools must return to being places where children feel safe to learn, dream, and simply grow up,” she wrote.
The message ultimately centered on compassion for the families who were affected. Tuesday asked people to surround them with support as they deal with the devastating loss of their loved ones.
She ended her message by expressing her deepest sympathy to the relatives and loved ones of those who died in Zamboanga.
“Taos pusong pakikiramay sa mga pamilya at mahal sa buhay ng mga nasawi sa Zamboanga,” she wrote.
The tragedy has once again brought conversations about school safety, responsible firearm ownership and youth well-being into focus. For tuesday, however, the discussion is ultimately about making sure children are given an environment where they can safely grow, learn and pursue their dreams.
