The President is Ultimately at Fault in the Massacre of 44 SAF Officers

In the morning of January 25, the President communicated details and orders of Operation Exodus to suspended PNP Chief Alan Purisima and Special Action Force commander GetulioNapenas, doing away with protocol that involved following a chain of command. 

By excluding OIC PNP Chief LenoardoEspina and SILG Secretary Manuel Roxas in these communications, he was in clear violation of the PNP’s chain of command.

Despite stating that the chain of command was indeed violated by the President himself, the Board of Inquiry also states that it is the President’s prerogative to break this chain within reason. Exhaustive though the Board of Inquiry’s 120-page report was on the events that transpired in Mamasapano, Maguindanao, they failed to specify the reason for Aquino’s actions.

This violation contributed to a catastrophic event that led to the death of 67 individuals, 44 of which were Special Action Force command officers of the PNP. Since then, the President has heavily placed blame on SAF commander Napenas while refusing to be clearn on Purisima’s inclusion to Oplan Exodus, despite his suspension. 

In fact, the BOI report found that the President even gave an inaccurate description of Purisima’s role in the operation.

Only after being revealed that his approval and trust ratings were at an all-time low, President Aquino decided to take responsibility for what had transpired. He owns up to his part in the massacre by stating that all successes and failures that happen within his administration are ultimately on him. Even so, he has yet to apologize for what had happened.

This acceptance now begs the question: what should be done to the President as punishment to hold him accountable for his decisions that resulted with the unspeakable loss now suffered not only by the families of the perished officers, but also the entire nation?

 Should he be allowed to attempt regaining the people’s trust, or should he be subjected to an impeachment trial?

Whos behind the Mamasapano Massacre?

Surrendered Philippine National Police (PNP) boss Alan Purisima said he didn't give requests however only exhorted Special Action Force (SAF) boss Getulio Napenas on the operation to catch 2 prominent terrorist targets. At the Senate hearing on Monday, Purisima said Napenas knows extremely well that he can't and ought not take after requests from any individual who is not in the levels of leadership.

Who is really at inadequacy for the early destruction of the 44 Fallen SAF?

Why were the 45th SAF organization at the cornfields in Tukalinapao, where 35 cops butchered, were not given help or backing in as much as there are charged 300 more PNP SAF in the adjacent parkway around 3 kms.away when they asked for fortification? As though the administrator for the entire operation didn't generally do his occupation and where was he right now and what's happening with he?

On the involvement of President Aquino and Purisima

I trust the test is carried out and a Senate request next that would incorporate the PNP SAF officers included , friendly boss Purisima and up to President Noynoy Aquino.

More demand concerning the Philippine National Police Special Action Force operation were raised on Monday, including the relationship of the United States.

In the interim, Sen. Ferdinand Marcos, Jr., executive of the Senate Committee on Local Government, said that in light of the confirmation of the police powers, Purisima stayed included in the operation to catch the two sought after terrorists ignoring the way that he was suspended since December of a year former.

I was frustrated and took to long range casual correspondence to voice my stun, bafflement and vulnerability.

I couldn't start to acknowledge how and why the President and those high arranging forces couldn't have known of such an essential mission.

I extravagantly needed for President Aquino to get down from his position in light of the unfortunate inadequacy of sympathy he has demonstrated to the denied family and how he reacted to the entire scene.

I trust the Senate hearing will uncover reality with reference to what truly happen in the Mamasapano occurrence. I prefer not to believe that those dead 44 cops were reparation for that $5million reward. I am certain that they genuinely did take after requests to do their occupation however to be double crosser on their genuineness is really unsuitable.

Who is truly at shortcoming for their sudden death.
