Sen. Trillanes criticizes relieved SAF Commander for saying his men killed 250 MILF rebels

Last Saturday,  March 21, Senator Antonio Trillanes IV  criticized relieved Special Action Force (SAF) Commander General Getulio Napeñas for telling the Senate during the investigation on Mamasapano incident that his men killed 250 Moro rebels belonging to the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) during the clash at Tukanalipao, Mamasapano, Maguindanao on January 25.

“Gen. Napeñas lied by saying SAF commandos killed 250 Moro fighters during that skirmishes at Mamasapano”, Sen. Trillanes said.

The MILF denied Napeñas statement but admitted having lost 18 of its men, including 5 civilians allegedly killed by the SAF commandos.

Gen. Napeñas blamed the military for not sending reinforcements and firing howitzers against the Moro rebels who outnumbered his men and eventually killed 44 SAF commandos with only one survived.
