The Commander in Chief now presents himself as a fool, just to evade accountability for the tragedy that has torn the peace process into shreds and sent tens of thousands of Maguindanao residents escaping from clashes. I told him, you can’t do that because you need to position artillery and tanks, personnel, gasoline, ammunition and bombs from planes.)Īquino betrays his desperation with this new tack. (He told me, we will coordinate on jump off.

Kailangan iposisyon yung plano, yung tao, yung gasolina at yung bala ng kanyon, yung bomba ng eroplano.” Hindi mo magagawa yan ng 30 minutes.” “He told me: ‘Sir, mag co-coordinate kami on jump-off.’ Sabi ko: ‘Hindi pwede yung pagkilos dapat iposisyon yung kanyon.

Aquino today claimed, that as early as the January 9 briefing in Bahay Pangarap, he already told Napenas that the SAF cannot deploy just 160 SAF troopers in Mamasapano to take out Zulkifli bin Hir, alias Marwan, and Basit Usman when there were 3,000-4,000 potential hostiles in the area. When he left me on January 9… I now know that he had no intention of obeying my order for him to coordinate.) He decided alone and those decisions were wrong. (Napenas was indulging in wishful thinking, instead of focusing on reality. Pag alis niya sa akin nung January 9, lumalabas ngayon na wala siyang intensyon na tuparin yung utos ko sa kanyang mag-coordinate.” Siya ang nag desisyon at may times na yung desisyon niya palpak. Maliwanag sa akin: binola niya ako … Sinolo ni Napenas. “ Maraming wishful thinking si Napenas as opposed to reality. There was very little mention of his best friend, disgraced Philippine National Police chief Alan Purisima. Aquino have to say this time? That Napenas tricked him. His speech came a day after widows of the SAF’s Fallen 44 begged him to tell the truth, and days after a surviving SAF hero of Mamasapano said the only justice he wants is to know who allowed his comrades to die. His speech came just a day after the nation commemorated the 40 th day of the Mamasapano deaths. This, as he added to the mountain of lies dished out since January 25, the day 44 Special Action Forces, at least 18 Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) rebels and six civilians died in Mamasapano town, Maguindanao. “Christian leaders” gathered this afternoon on the grounds of Malacanang to pray for the President’s deliverance from his critics. Instead, he chose to deliver his latest outrageous speech under very controlled conditions. President Benigno Simeon Aquino III snubbed the invitation of the Board of Inquiry created by the Philippine National Police.
