Malacañang on Saturday said it expects the financier of the attack on Zamboanga City by followers of Moro National
Liberation Front founding chairman Nur Misuari to be unmasked in the coming
days.
Deputy presidential spokesperson Abigail Valte said that once the
investigation into the incident gets underway, it should find clues on who
backed the attack that triggered the crisis.
“Saka na natin makikita yan, in the coming days. Napagutos ng Pangulong
Aquino ang imbestigasyon sa pangyayaring ito (We will know soon enough in the
coming days. President Benigno Aquino III already ordered an investigation into
what happened),” she said on government-run dzRB radio when asked who financed
the attack.
“Pag doon sa investigation, makikita kung meron silang tulong na nakuha sa
ibang tao o sa ibang grupo (In the investigation we expect to know the
individuals and groups that provided help to these Misuari followers),” she
added.
Followers of Misuari had infiltrated some villages in the city since Sept.
9, taking many civilian hostages. The crisis entered its 13th day on Saturday.
The military claimed the government forces had retaken most of the
MNLF-controlled areas and is now in the clearing operations stage.
But Valte said the focus of the government efforts in Zamboanga City
for now is still on the clearing operations.
“Ngayon ang focus ng pamahalaan ang clearing operations, at patuloy na
paninigurado natin magiging ligtas ang lugar na inokupa ng member ng Misuari
faction (For now our focus is on clearing operations. We want to make sure the
areas previously occupied by the Misuari faction are safe),” she said.
Meanwhile, Valte said there will be no announcement on until when Aquino
will stay in Zamboanga
City , “for security
reasons.”
But she also assured the Office of the President has made arrangements for
urgent documents to be brought to Aquino’s attention.
