President Rodrigo Duterte plans to reopen the investigation on the bloody Mamasapano incident last January 2015 that left over 60 people dead, including 44 members of the elite PNP-Special Action Force.
In a speech delivered at the Philippines-China Trade and Investment Forum in the Great Hall of the People, Duterte said he wondered who got the $5-million reward for terrorist Zulkifli Abdhir, also known as Marwan, who was killed by the SAF commandos.
Forty-four Mamasapano soldiers, they went inside, they died. No dramatics, no nothing. No...Except that we grieve for our soldiers. Maybe in this --- in the days ahead, I will order the opening of that issue again. Not really to prosecute people but just to know what happened? Who got the five million?" Duterte said while assailing the United States.
Whether the tip of the finger of Marwan, was gotten by the Special Forces of United States or was it really brought to the forensic division diyan sa [Camp] Crame," he added.
Duterte suggested that some of the information on Marwan's death were lies.
These are the lies that are imposed upon the people which is not good. Let us go for the truth. Let it out. Never mind about corruption. Too late in the day," the President said.
