Police Director Benjamin Magalong sugar coated assumption that President Aquino was hurt by the findings of the Philippine National Police Board of Inquiry (BOI) was merely a scratch on the surface. Magalong failed to adhere to the spirit of fair and impartial investigation. He allowed Secretary Mar Roxas to derail the investigation by purposely not informing President Aquino, to avoid being interviewed by the PNP Board of Inquiry. There is a saying that even a blind mouse would know which cheese was bitten by others, however slight it maybe. In all seriousness, every angle of the investigation “SHALL” be covered “FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT”. Only then Magalong can conclude the investigation. If you cannot be impartial or have integrity for the investigation, how dare you conclude that the investigation was based on statements of fact when you failed to interview President Aquino who undermined his own chain-of-command in the execution of operation exodus…
Blame the MILF and BIFF for the massacre because they killed our forces who went there to capture the terrorist who are inside thir territory and being protected. If they are really true to their peace talk, they should have not joined forces with BIFF in killing our forces who are just there to do thir duty…
Kuya, i agree with you to some extent regarding MILF commitment to the ongoing “Peace Talks” with the government. However, you have to realize (maybe pull your thumb or head out) that Maguindanao has become a safe haven for terrorists. If you still remember your history that during the time of President Marcos, MNLF (MILF) were the only active terrorist groups there and Nur Misuari was hiding somewhere in Saudi Arabia. After Marcos, starting from Cory Aquino, Ramos, Estrada, Arroyo and Aquino, several terrorist groups emerged such as the MILF, Abu Sayyaf, Jemaa Islamiyah and now the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters. Not only that Mindanao is a safe haven for terrorist, there is a failure by the government to establish law and order in those areas. Kuya, i know you are smarter than Pnoy when it comes to military operation. Given the ongoing peace talks, you can never trust the MILF because they’ve already betrayed the government many times despite of the peace agreement signed by both parties. If you are going to send the best troops in the Maguindanao area, you are going to send the most experience troops like the Marines or Army whose been there the longest. The PNPSAF are the new kids in the blocks despite of their training. However, we do respect the fallen SAF members. If you are indeed the president who acted with confidence at the onset of operation exodus, you are going to govern clearly the actions of PNP Chief Purisima, SAF Commander Napenas and OIC Espina, etc. Lastly Kuya, until you know every ins and outs, streets, railroads, lakes, rivers, bridges, routes of entry or exit, etc. in the Mamasapano area, you should never send your troops there specially when you do not know how to coordinate or the office you run is in disarray.
