Minority Floor Leader Juan Ponce Enrile inquires about the status of the committee report on the Mamasapano incident during Wednesday’s plenary proceedings. “It is not only for the courage, the valor, and the sacrifices of the fallen and surviving SAF members in that ghastly and brutal carnage to be placed in the annals of this august Chamber, but also to demonstrate to the general public and to let the people know how their Senate dealt with the complex issues that were discovered and brought to light during the Senate investigation,” Enrile said in his privilege speech.

Senate minority leader Juan Ponce Enrile has raised the need for fellow senators to discuss “in the open” the result of the upper chamber’s investigation into the massacre of 44 Special Action Force (SAF) troopers in Mamasapano, Maguindanao last January 25.

In a privilege speech Enrile lamented that the Senate was not able to discuss on the floor the findings of the committee report of the Senate panel on public order chaired by Sen. Grace Poe which states, among others, that President Benigno S. Aquino III “is ultimately liable” for the death of the s-a-f men.

Poe decided not to discuss her committee report on the floor saying that it can be tackled during the deliberation on the proposed Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL).

However, Enrile rejected her proposal, saying that quote: “Everything must come out”.

Enrile made the move to fulfill his promise to the relatives of the slain police commandos to help them achieve justice.
