“We have already read the other reports. We also need to see the MILF
investigation report so we will know what really happened,” Marcos told his
colleagues during plenary Tuesday.
The MILF had initiated its own investigation on the Mamasapano incident after it was accused of violating the peace agreement that it entered into with the government. In five Senate hearings on Mamasapano, several lawmakers demanded to know why international terrorist Zulkifli bin Hir and bomb maker Abdul Basit Usman had apparently found sanctuary in MILF territory.
“There are reports that the MILF Report will be submitted to the Malaysian-led International Monitoring Team (IMT) composed of representatives fromJapan , Indonesia
and Brunei and supported by
the United States
“For full transparency and accountability, there is a crucial need for the Philippine Government to be properly informed of the full investigation report of the MILF in order to strengthen the ceasefire mechanisms that may be included in the proposed Bangsamoro Basic Law pending in Congress,” the resolution added.
BBL deliberations resume April 13
