Buildings in parts of the globe light up in red, white, and blue to express solidarity with victims of the attack in Nice on Bastille Day

MANILA, Philippines — Landmarks across the globe lit up in hues of the French tricolor to show support and sympathy to France as it reeled from another tragedy: an attack that killed at least 84 people and hurt dozens of others as they watched fireworks on their national day.

French President Francois Hollande on Friday, July 15, called the incident a “terrorist” attack and moved to extend the country’s state of emergency by 3 more months.

The United Nations condemned the “barbaric and cowardly terrorist attack” as did world leaders.

In the Philippines, President Rodrigo Duterte joined the rest of the world in mourning the lives lost in Nice, and expressed its solidarity with France in its war against terrorists.

The French tricolor represents the values of the French Revolution: liberty, equality, and brotherhood.
