President Benigno Aquino III on Monday declined to elaborate
on the government's on-going investigation on the possible alternative version
of the Mamasapano incident but stressed that this is being done to verify what
has been reported.
"And dulo ng lahat ng ito, gusto nating malaman yung
the whole truth and nothing but the truth," President Aquino told
reporters in an interview at the Iloilo
Convention Center
The Chief Executive said they were currently collating
evidences and determining the persons who could testify on the validity of the
report and on what really happened.
"So ang importante malaman yung totoo. Mangyari na
maski sino pang sumuri ganito lalabas, para malaman nga nating ganap yung mga
leksyon doon sa nangyari sa Mamasapano," he stressed.
Over the weekend, reports claimed that Malaysian terrorist
Zulkifli bin Hir, alias Marwan, who was one of the two targets of the Special
Action Force (SAF) operations in Mamasapano, Maguindanao in Jan. 25, 2015, was
not killed by members of the police's elite force but by his aides.
This was included in the report of the Moro Islamic
Liberation Front (MILF) after the incident, the news reports quoting MILF chief
peace negotiator Mohagher Iqbal said.
Forty-four SAF members along with several MILF members and
civilians were killed during the said police operations, which also targeted to
arrest Filipino terrorist Basit Usman, who was killed in another operation last
May.
