Department of Justice (DOJ) Secretary Leila M. De Lima on
Tuesday said that the report of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) on the
Mamasapano incident where 44 members of the elite Philippine National
Police-Special Action Force (PNP-SAF) were killed is incomplete.
Likewise, De Lima noted that the DOJ's investigation on the
Mamasapano incident is still not over.
The DOJ panel released part I of their report in April this
year where it recommended the filing of complaints for murder against 90 Moro
Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) members for the death of 35 of the 36 members
of the 55th Special Action Company.
It also recommended the filing of a complaint for theft.
The complaint filed was based on the testimony of the
government's witness given the codename "Marathon ".
The National Bureau of Investigation-National Prosecution
Service (NBI-NPS) team is continuing with its investigation.
De Lima said that they were given a copy of the MILF report.
However, De Lima said, while there were findings and conclusions,
there are no other evidence to support it.
"Hindi kasi pwede na report lang, conclusions lang at
walang affidavits like first-hand witnesses," she said.
De Lima said that the MILF has formed a commission that
conducted the fact-finding investigation.
"The findings and conclusions are found in their report
but I have noticed that while there were factual observations, wala yung
supporting, sinu-sino ang mga witnesses," she added.
The Part 2 of the DOJ report is supposed to cover the
circumstances surrounding the death of members of the PNP-SAF's 84th Seaborne
Company as well as the death of members of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front
(MILF) and civilians.
However, De Lima was silent on the "alternative
truth" about the Mamasapano incident mentioned by President Benigno S.
Aquino III.
