The Bureau of Investigation (BOI) had already released their
draft report about their findings in Mamasapano clash. In that incident, 44 SAF
members died when they encountered the joined forces of the Moro Islamic
Liberation Front (MILF) and the Bansangmoro Freedom Fighters on January 25. The
BOI concluded that P-Noy was responsible for the death of fallen 44 because
they found out that P-Noy really let Gen. Alan Purisima to lead the operation
although he was suspended that time.
Despite
of the statement of the BOI, the Malacanang and some of his allies are still
denying that P-Noy has no liability about the failed Mamasapano operation. But
they insisted again that the president had already took the responsibility
about the death of the fallen 44. Yes, P-Noy said that, but we never see any
sincerity to his words. If he is really serious, he will never blame the SAF
commander Gen. Getulio Napenas. What he did, he put all the blame to this poor police
official just to save himself from responsibility. He blamed Napenas, but he
didn’t say any negative remarks to his close friend Purisima.
On the
other hand, DOJ Sec. De Lima said that P-Noy didn’t broke the chain of command
when he didn’t inform their plan to the AFP Chief and to the acting PNP Chief. She
pointed out that the president is not a commander in chief of the PNP. But in
P-Noy’s speech in front of the graduating criminologist students he claimed
that he was their commander in chief. De Lima’s statement is contradicting to
the speech of P-Noy. It is better for de Lima to be silent, stop defending her
boss if her statement is not supported by proven fact.
Other
law experts said that it is not important if P-Noy is a commander in chief of
the PNP to say that he has no liability for the death of the 44 SAF members.
That’s right, the operation will not be failed if P-Noy didn’t let Purisima to
intervene. It is very clear that was the root cause of the tragedy because the
SAF listened to the ordered of the suspended general. Not the alibi of P-Noy that Napenas was lied
to him.
The public
has a doubt, even the BOI emphasized that P-Noy is responsible in the failed
Mamasapano operation; they are not expecting that the families of the fallen 44
will get the justice. The BOI which composed almost of his allies didn’t
recommend to punish the president through impeachment. If P-Noy would admit his
fault and say sorry to the public, maybe his critics may forgive him. But as of
now, he can’t escape to the sentiments of the Filipino people and to the
calling of the groups that asking him to resign from his post.
