Almost
a week after the Mamasapano massacre, it has not yet been determined who gave
the final order for the PNP-SAF commandoes to carry on with their ill-fated
mission last Saturday night. PNoy himself has not admitted giving the order.
But think about this, boys and girls:
Dahil
inamin rin niya na hindi alam nina DILG Sec. Mar Roxas at PNP Officer-in-Charge
Deputy Director-General Leonardo Espina at wala rin daw naging papel si
suspended PNP Director-General Alan Purisima
matapos itong masuspinde, si PNOY
NA LAMANG ANG MAY KAPANGYARIHAN na iutos ang pagsasagawa ng Mamasapano
operation. Pero iyun nga, WALA rin
siyang maituro hanggang ngayon KUNG SINO TALAGA. Hindi nagbabago si pinalitang
PNP-SAF chief Director Getulio Napenas sa pagtuturo kay Purisima bilang
pang-kalahatang nagpapatakbo mismo ng Mamasapano operasyon nang araw na isagawa
ito. to. Ikinaila ito ni PNoy pero WALA rin siyang matukoy kung sino
In
a story in inquirer.net, Napenas said his men began calling for reinforcements
at 6 a.m. Sunday, prompting him to coordinate not just with the Department of
National Defense (DND) and the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) but also
with the government peace panel and the MILF leadership. The nearest Army units
from the scene of the encounter were the Mechanized Brigade in Shariff Aguak
town, the 45th Infantry Battalion in WHICH WAS ALSO IN MAMASAPANO and the 601st
Infantry Brigade in Awang town. But no one arrived. Now, consider these, people:
Tinanggal
na si Napenas bilang hepe ng SAF matapos ang masaker sa Mamasapano. INAKO na
niya ang pamgunahing responsibilidad sa nangyari kaya’t WALA NA SIYANG MAPAPALA
KUNG MAGDADAMAY PA SIYA ng mga wala namang
kasalanan.
Except
for an initial statement from the 6th Infantry Division that lack of
information prevented its immediate rescue of the SAF commandoes. But as I had
pointed out in my preceding status, the Division did not say if it exerted any
effort to determine the exact location of the encounter scene. Neither has the
Division denied reports that as it turned out, its headquarters was just a
kilometer away from the scene. Other than the Division statement, no one else
from the Army or the DND, especially Defense Sec. Voltaire Gazmin, has said
anything about the Mamasapano carnage. So unless Gazmin issues an official
clarification or denial, why were there no reinforcements from the Army? Apart
from Gazmin, the ONLY OTHER PERSON who can order reinforcements is PNOY HIMSELF as AFP
Commander-in-Chief.
Napenas
said after the 6.a.m call by his men for reinforcements, coordination was also
made with the government peace panel and the leadership of the MILF. This has
been CONSISTENTLY REPORTED in media, along with supposed instructions by PNoy
to Presidential Peace Adviser Teresita Deles to call her MILF counterparts to
stop the fighting, But in a story in abs-cbnnews.com Malacanang and Deles’
office denied PNoy’s supposed call. So WHY ISN’T DELES ISSUING THE DENIAL
HERSELF? More importantly, WHERE WAS SHE AND WHAT WAS SHE DOING from 6 a.m.
until the Mamasapano encounter stopped some 7 or 8 hours later?
