Two years after the Mamasapano incident, the Provincial Government of Ilocos Norte joined the country in calling for justice for Ilocano policeman PO2 Omar Nacionales and the other 43 Special Action Force commandos slain in Mindanao in a simple and solemn tribute. Starting with a flag raising ceremony and a short prayer, hundreds of provincial police officers, local officials, government employees, and the bereaved family of PO2 Nacionales attended the commemoration.
