With a six-minute video showing a dying Special Action Force
(SAF) trooper being executed now making its rounds in the social media, the
Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) on Wednesday said that this incident
shows the "gory, brutal and merciless killing of wounded and defenseless
men in uniform."
"It is very disturbing to say the least. It is clear
proof of the brutal execution of the police officers that fateful day of Jan.
25," AFP spokesperson Col. Restituto Padilla said.
Other parts of the video also show dead SAF men lying in the
cornfield in Mamasapano, Maguindanao while another part shows fallen police
officers being stripped of their combat equipment and belongings.
"We appeal to the public to be circumspect and respect
the grieving families whose feelings we should be mindful of," he said.
"As responsible citizens, our curiosity must not get
the better of us but should compel us to realize the great sacrifices that your
men in uniform have been experiencing in ensuring the peace and security of our
land," Padilla said.
