Just my opinion
by Raïssa Robles
It see
ms like a dream now – that rapturous moment of being one with the universe and loving the world, all because Pope Francis was in the Philippines.
But a week after his departure, men and women who were probably in the same crowd that embraced the Pope’s words and promised to be good Catholics are now at the forefront crying out for blood and saying “crush” the Muslim rebels, and death to those who killed the police commandos.
Pope Francis hardly touched on the Muslim rebellion when he was in the Philippines.
But he did touch on a similar conflict before coming to Manila while he was in Sri Lanka. Because of this, I find the words he said in Sri Lanka very relevant to our situation. Sri Lanka’s Buddhist majority had to deal for 25 years with a rebellion by its Tamil Tiger minority. The United Nations estimated that up to 100,000 people were killed.
In the Philippines, no one has really done an estimate of how many people have been killed by the Mindanao conflict. But it could easily reach a similar number.
Pope Francis urged Sri Lankans to work for justice, truth and reconciliation. And he said:
“Only when we come to understand, in light of the cross, the evil we are capable of, and have even been a part of, can we experience true remorse and true repentance. Only then can we receive the grace to approach one another in true contrition, offering and seeking true forgiveness.”
He also said:
“Sri Lanka for many years knew the horrors of civil strife and is now seeking to consolidate peace and to heal the scars of those years.”
He advised that dialogue was necessary. However,
“For such dialogue and encounter to be effective, it must be grounded in a full and forthright presentation of our respective convictions. Certainly, such dialogue will accentuate how varied our beliefs, traditions and practices are. But if we are honest in presenting our convictions, we will be able to see more clearly what we hold in common…Men and women do not have to forsake their identity, whether ethnic or religious, in order to live in harmony.”
When Pope Francis was en route to Rome after flying from Manila he told reporters how he almost wept upon seeing the people of Leyte:
“The gestures! The gestures moved me. They are not protocol gestures, they are good gestures, felt gestures, gestures of the heart. Some almost make one weep. There’s everything there: faith, love, the family, the illusions, the future. That gesture of the fathers who think of their children so that the Pope will bless them. Not the gesture of one unique father. There were many who thought of their children when we passed by on the road. A gesture which in other places one does not see, as if they say ‘this is my treasure, this is my future, this is my love, for this one it’s worth working, for this one it’s worth suffering’. A gesture that is original, but born from the heart.”
And then he said,
“There’s a word that’s difficult for us to understand because it has been vulgarized too much, too badly used, too badly understood, but it’s a word that has substance: resignation. A people who knows how to suffer, and is capable of rising up.”
Perhaps what I’m trying to say is this: Think of the Mindanao conflict as a man-made disaster. Think of the courageous death of the police commandos as part of that conflict that has been going on for over a quarter of a century in Mindanao. Their deaths are crying out for justice. And so are the deaths before them.
The only way to make the police commandos’ deaths meaningful – and the death of thousands before them – is to dedicate lasting peace in their names.
Rene-Ipil says
If I were the SAF commander and 99% sure that Marwan was in the place as affirmed by intelligence – US and local- I would have done the same.
I would need only the go-signal of PNoy. No coordination with the AFP, MILF and any other units to ensure the success of the mission. That is to neutralize – kill or capture – Marwan. Putting myself and the lives of SAF commandos in peril is par for the course. The SAF commandos would be ready to die because of the most difficult circumstances we would undergo. No guts, no glory.
Indeed, it was a successful mission. If ever there would be a mistaken identity of Marwan, it should not diminish the heroism of the SAF commandos. They laid their lives so that the Filipino people and the world could live freer.
I believe the SAF operation was not a tactical blunder. Otherwise, the whole contingent of about 400 SAF commandos should have been wiped out. That happened to Custer in Little Bighorn and the French in the Valley of the Death. Custer seemed a sissy compared to Napeñas.
I salute the SAF commander and his commandos.
The way the SAF commandos were killed by MILF fighters is a different matter and should be dealt with accordingly.
leona says
That’s courageous Rene@
You might have asked the American special forces [or US Pentagon] instead “Just give me one tactical nuc, ride on it and drop me from the helicop right into the hut where Marwan is sleeping inside.’
. . . remember that movies ‘Fail Safe’?
Joe America says
Thanks for the rational point of view. If the Philippines were in a WWII style battle, or even Iraq, these incidents would be occurring regularly. As harsh as it may sound, if we put our cold general’s helmet on, the failure of this one may be because that the 44 to 11 count was not 44 to 211, in which case the mission would have been declared a success.
For the life of me, I don’t know why the Philippines does not have a military industrial complex cranking out drones by the dozen. In one a radar carrying able to count bodies surrounding the target, based on body heat. In some, the kind of through the roof capability that Leona talks about. The Bin Laden raid also involve people on the ground because the US HAD TO KNOW that they got the right guy, and they indeed got him. That was worth big risk to the generals.
leona says
PATAY O BUHAY? | DNA test being done to check if Marwan was killed but MNLF says terrorist alive
‘DNA’ answers: I’m still alive!
Tester says: Are you?
‘DNA’ says: Do you want me to shoot you?
Tester says: O.k. Shoot! . . .Tester hit, dying and saying last words…’He’ssss still aaaALIVE!’

IF ONLY news reporters can separate terrains: those that are no man’s land where lies may be peddled; and those sacred terrain where lying is not done and suspicious sources lies are not peddled — then we may have a better world. Unfortunately, that is a dream. And in fairness the Philippines is not a monopolist in this kind of reporting.

Vengeful Heaven
Francisco Balagtas
Vengeful Heaven, where is your wrath?
now my land is overcome, prostrate,
and in beloved Albania’s infinite skies,
lately the flag of evil flies.
“Within and without my country of grief,
betrayal reigns, is enshrined, esteemed;
degraded everywhere, the heart’s goodness
is consigned to the lowly pauper’s grave.
“All manner of good and deed are cast
into the sea of mockery and perturbation,
each good man is treated without respect,
without burial rite entombed.
“But, oh, the cheat, the traitor, the black
of heart, are enthroned in praise,
and for each scoundrel incense is burned,
and offered up in fragrant smoke.
“Betrayal, dishonesty hold high
their heads, and the righteous is timid, bowed,
dismayed, reason itself is on its knees,
fatigued, and to weep is all that’s left for it.
“And each mouth that opens
to speak the truth and right
is quickly stopped and cut
by the arrogant blade of death.
“O traitorous ambition for honor and riches!
O hunger for airy and fleeting praise!
You are the reason for all this sinfulness,
this misfortune that has befallen me.
“By the crown of King Linceaeus
and the riches of my father, the duke,
Count Adolfo was so bold to pour evil
upon Albania’s sovereign land.
“All these, O merciful Heaven
you witness, why suffer them persist?
O Source of sense and righteousness,
why permit them drown in ruthlessness?
“Lift your right and righteous hand,
swing the shining blade of your rage,
upon all evil in Albania’s kingdom pour
the full vengeance of your justice.
“Why, O Heaven, do you turn
a deaf ear to my suit and honest plea?
Why from this poor and luckless being
avert your face and shut your ears?
“And who could ever fathom,
O Great God, your sacred mystery?
The good will not happen on earth
if it is not Your Will.
“Alas, where now turn
for handhold, bring my heart’s lament,
If Heaven refuses to listen
to my plaintive cry, my faint complaint?’
Beautiful, isn’t it?
Ancient Mariner says
Very.
NHerrera says
YES!!!
Rene-Ipil says
I think it is appropriate that we take it first from the “horse’s” mouth. The SAF commander has already spoken. We start from there. Otherwise, we go wayward or mislead by hearsay accounts.
http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/668715/saf-chief-i-am-responsible
We should vet first the SAF commander’s story and see if he is telling the truth rather than relying right away on hearsay accounts of the incident.
Rene-Ipil says
It’s misled instead of mislead.
leona says
‘Napeñas said he knew that Mamasapano was controlled by the MILF, which has three command bases there—the 106th, 105th and 118th.’
Some ‘horse facts’ from the ‘horse’s mouth’… 3 command bases. Those bases are equivalent to ‘a Brigade’ each, about 5,000 men each if followed acc to military TOE = 15,000 armed men.
What was the Code name for this bungled operation? It does not say. Let’s call it Oplan XYZ meantime.
Marwan is ‘dead for the second time’ – ‘“Marwan woke up, that was around 4:30 a.m., and he managed to be the first to shoot, that’s why some of us were hit. But we returned fire and killed him outright,” he said.’
How did Officer Napenas know about this – that Marwan was killed?
leona says
Oh, Oplan Wolverine was the official name. Delete XYZ then.
RIP good PNP commandos. It’s so sad for the country.
‘He compared the secrecy about Oplan Wolverine to “Operation Neptune Spear,” the covert US Navy Seals operation that cornered al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden in Abbottabad, Pakistan, in March 2011.’
This is a wrong comparison. Osam Bin Laden’s hideaway was not surrounded by 3 Brigades of armed supporters. Oplan Wolverine’s situation was inside the center of 3 Brigades!
Seal US Team 6 did not have that many seal members on OBL raid.
‘I decided that it was best not to inform other units in the police and the Armed Forces of the Philippines about the plan of initiating the actual assault. It was a judgment call and I take full responsibility,” Napeñas’
It was best not to inform other units, acc to OIC Napenas. Then what prompted him inform DDG Espina about the oplan Wolverine? Isn’t this a violation of the ‘it was the best’ rule?
‘Our troops were already deployed’ said OIC Napenas. Deployed in the ‘center’ of 3 Brigades of an armed opposing forces – MILF BIFF! Excuse me. Did OIC Napenas also have a plan –
how to get out of that center? In case the alert is sounded? How?
He will be asked on this if he had planned the escape routes also. If he forgot about it, it was a suicide operation then.
‘Sir, how do we escape?’ one commando could have asked OIC Napenas. ‘You don’t. Consider yourself de…d!’
leona says
‘“We worked hard on this and we couldn’t allow our work to go to waste by informing the MILF. We don’t trust the MILF,” he said.’ [said OIC Napenas]
Work hard. No waste. Do not inform the MILF. No trust on MILF. Words of assurances.
‘Marwan right there’ where? In the center of the 3 Brigades! Acc to intelligence information received by the SAF.
US Seal Team Six would also go for it but they had support. . . armed helicopters of the latest kind and fighter jets flying within the air zone of operation on the ground. SAF did not have this support.
The comparison is a big difference. Was this considered by the SAF? Or it was not? Or ‘never mind, we go!’ ? We worked hard on this – was the idea.
leona says
Way back 2011 Oplan Wolverine was already endorsed by PNP DG PurrrisMama, even to the OPACC – the crime commission headed by Sec. Ochoa, Jr.
2011 way back. No changes? 4 Years in the making. Marwan’s whereabouts being ‘in the center of 3 Brigades’ of armed groups. No air support. No army tanks or armored vehicles. Inside clustered villages inside the main forces of MILF and BIFF.
2011 – 4 years ago. Isn’t the plan of this very old for purposes of this kind of military action? Were SAF with intel that there was no leak or leaks on it? What reports did SAF on this re possible leaks if any or none at all?
This plan Wolverine was not revised despite PuurrisMama’s suspension by the Ombudsman Office. No revision. No changes. Fully carried out.
But at the start the military was ‘in’ on this oplan. Then it was revised with military participation taken out of it. Reasons? ‘We can do it !’
Alone SAF carried out the oplan. No air support. No Marines or Army troops. No Tanks. No artillery fire support if needed. Nothing.
Did SAF commandos bring grenades? Smoke grenades? Color grenades for pick up zones by helicopters if needed? So many commandos participated, did they bring mortars for fire support? Was the ‘TOE’ on this operation based on the situation considered for all the possible eventualities?
I am the ‘unarmed in the chair general’ here. Many factoring here.
leona says
Oooh, another thing, was a court sheriff with the SAF since an arrest warrant was to be implemented? Were any SAF member duly deputized by the court issuing the warrant of arrest?
If Marwan was caught alive, he could have asked on this.
Anyway, no sheriff was reported to be with the SAF commandos. No sheriff then.
The SAF ‘got Marwan.’ The body must be with the American forces that extracted all the dead in the fields. DNA was taken on Marwan.
30 minutes was the time allotted for the 392 commando strength in operation. It lasted for so many hours…was it 11 hours or more or less?
30 minutes – no air support, no tanks, no army or marine troops, no artillery. No help. 30 minutes time.
SAF men ‘saw’ Marwan sleeping. Marwan woke up. He fired first shot. SAF men must have been 1 or 2 feet away from him then. But Marwan still was able to fire first shot?
He was not tackled upon waking up?
leona says
‘The team got out, said Napeñas, who described the other side as BIFF and MILF forces who “came from all directions.”
From all directions. . . the shooting. So, Marwan’s whereabouts was at the ‘center’ of the 3 Brigades in the clustered villages.
“At past 6 a.m., the joint monitoring team from the MILF and the government called a ceasefire, Napeñas said, but the “MILF did not stop shooting.” Seems there was now that ‘coordination’ but for a ceasefire.
Ceasefire, was not cooperated by MILF forces. Why? Who was in command on the side of the MILF units? MILF did not stop shooting.
And yet MILF wants a Bangsamoro basic law! And shall the gov’t give it to them in gold platter? Teka muna dyan.
MILF refused a ceasefire. Gov’t monitoring side called for it. MILF played it deaf but not dumb. The fighting was at close quarters already! Eye-to-eye seeing each other.
Not for glory, bounty. SAF chief Napenas said. You and your SAF men did it for us.
I’d rather that you should have check ‘with us’ and coordinate, and go over a 4 year old oplan that appeared like a ticking bomb.
If, and only IF, this is the main fact story, not yet with more ‘detailed facts,’ of OIChief Napenas, many essential things were ignored, abandoned and disregarded.
Essential things for the a successful taken Marwan. A plan must always be ‘updated’ and not old as old as 4 years old.
Current plan at that. Revised as time goes by acc to factual situations. It was not.
How many months passed on the OBL plan since it was 99% determined that Osama was there at that location? About 5-7 months. The scrutinizing of the plan was probably continuous.
[I guess only]
Thanks Rene_ipil@.

From the Inquirer, today’s issue:
“Aquino knew of Mamasapano mission; Purisima called the shots – SAF chief”
“The official, who agreed to talk on condition of anonymity, was present during the first high-level government meeting following the deadly clash between the SAF troopers and the Moro rebels.”…
*************************************
Will this official be man enough to stand up and be recognized in order for us to believe this story? If Purisima is suspended, how could he have ““directed” the botched police operation by “remote control” from his office at Camp Crame, the PNP national headquarters in Quezon City.” as this anonymous source said. If one is suspended, can you still stay in your office?
In an interview with the SAF Commander, he said
“It was a command decision and we had been working on it for a long time and as a commander, I decided that it was best not to inform other units in the police and the Armed Forces of the Philippines about the plan of initiating the actual assault. It was a judgment call and I take full responsibility,” Napeñas, the SAF commander, told this reporter in an interview on Tuesday evening.
A police source told this reporter that the plan to get Marwan had been running since 2010. Prepared by the Office of the Director for Intelligence (DI), it became official in 2011 and was named Oplan Wolverine.
In the same year, the plan was endorsed by the Office of the Chief PNP, Director General Alan Purisima, and the US-trained SAF was tapped to carry out the operation.
Also in 2011, the source said, Purisima endorsed the plan to the Office of the Presidential Anti-Crime Commission under Executive Secretary Paquito Ochoa Jr. for “additional support.”
The plan was not revised despite the suspension of Purisima last year following accusations of corruption, the source said.
At the start, the source said, all operations related to the plan were jointly undertaken by the PNP and the military. But, as already admitted by Napeñas, the SAF carried out the Mamasapano operation alone.
********************************************
So if the SAF chief said they carried the operation alone, how can we believe the anonymous source that Purisima called the shots from his office in Camp Crame?
If ES Ochoa was told of this plan in 2011, does it mean that he is still focusing on this 3 years after? That’s why there are people on the ground to carry out the operation.
Please, media people, can you please report more responsibly and not hide behind anonymous sources and keep on muddling the issues? If this anonymous source can dare Purisima to be man enough to stand up for this botched operation, can the reported be man enough too to tell the identiyt of this anonymous source?
leona says
PuuurrisMama was not ‘in his heart’ on oplan Wolverine. He was most probably ‘inside his WHITE HOUSE’ at Camp Crame thinking of regaining his image vs his suspension.
What say you Madam Ombudsman? Is he suspended or what? I guess he believes he’s not.
Doblehin yun suspension? Make it stick?
Parekoy says
To avenge SAF will just make the situation worse! First it is misplaced to call for revenge, SAF failed in the exit, they know that they could get killed with all the clandestine ops. The best thing to do is to rethink operational planning and coordintion better and the American are good with that. They are good in denial and they are also good in perfecting new way of fighting, so they already succeeded in leaving PNoy and Purisima inholding the bag with them bein implicated in a bad way, they are good, they play both sides, no matter what they will win and go unscathed!
In case of the avenge, the MILF will also justify avenging their fallen comrades, the tortured ones, the raped women, their forcibly relocated famiies, their stolen native territories, and the insults to their honor!
I will leave the Pope in this issue. It is misplaced and will only fuel more bad blood. The Moros are very sensitive when Christians are meddling in their faith, so whatever the good intentions are, it is best o keep the Poep out of this!
Vhin AB says
I agree. Not the Pope. Well, the question is if the Pope’s opinion matters whenever a Muslim is involved. The long history of military campaign or The Crusades, sanctioned by the Roman Catholic Church against Muslims created a permanent damage to their credibilty to mediate.
Pag aralan na lang ang naging kapalpakan ng di na maulit. Compensate those who died at least P2M each or more. Heads should roll!
Martial Bonifacio says
@Raissa & CPM This is the detailed story of Police Director Getulio Napeñas on what transpired in Mindanao.
If ever “Marwan” is indeed killed during the encounter, i believe it’s only right that ONLY the families of the 44 deceased SAF members + the surviving SAF who joined in this operation should share the bounty. Not a single penny should be put in the public coffers, baka kainin pa ng buwaya.
Link: http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/668715/saf-chief-i-am-responsible
NHerrera says
If Police Director Getulio Napeñas to be believed, he cited these facts (taken from the link above):
1. His troop received actionable information and it was their duty to take action and they did.
2. Only Espina his superior was informed.
3. Marawan has a price of $6M on his head.
4. Marawan was killed by the SAF
5. 44 SAF men died
6. “At past 6 a.m., the joint monitoring team from the MILF and the government called a ceasefire, Napeñas said, but the “MILF did not stop shooting.””
leona says
His ‘facts’ are still self-serving facts. Old facts. . . 4 years old!
He allowed himself to be following a suspended superior cop. He should have refused first of all on that.
A grave mistake. He might also be suspended by the Ombudsman by following someone who is already suspended at that.
Suspended is suspended. All the time.
baycas says
If Pope Francis accepted the MILF’s invitation to go on a side trip to Cotabato and acceded to the “request to speak to the Bangsamoro people and endorse the Mindanao peace process between the Government of the Philippines (GPH) and the MILF” (As reported by Edd K. Usman, Manila Bulletin), what could have happened?
Come to think of it…did Cotabato Archbishop Orlando Cardinal Quevedo inform the Pope of the invitation and request?
leona says
What could have happened? asked baycas@
My guess – Pope upon seeing the plight of the people of Mindanao, would have said
‘I want to change my religion to ISLAM’ to SLAM the Roman Catholics!

Johnny Lin says
There is war, why should there be vengeance?
Muslim conflict has been existent before we were born. Moors in Spain and Iberian peninsula, Israel and Middle Eastern Muslims., Sunni against Shiiites
Philippine Government against Moros in Mindanao.
Even in the movies, Moros were portrayed as adept with the Kris as weapon.
Since when there was real peace? Isolated conflicts in remote areas of Mindanao have always existed despite efforts with different treaties.
Malampanos encounter is unfortunate, many claim but is it?
Or the policemen were just out maneuvered or outfought by rebels because the latter were dedicated soldiers ready to die for their cause while PNP men were probably only following orders with other agenda in mind of their senior officers.
Question is were the SAF men sacrificed for money or quest to resurrect the glory of a disgraced official? Or it was a poorly planned operation because the “brains in command” were hiding their actions from “authorized command” fearful of being discovered.
Remember Atimonan massacre that has faded in the news. It was an unauthorized operation disguised as official business by a rogue intelligence official. Is it different from this “Massacre” commanded by a suspended PNP Chief?
Condoning relatives and friends is a disaster waiting to happen to Aquino. He could only blame himself, not anyone else. If he wants to recover, he should start firing his friends from govt service starting with Binay, Abad, Ochoa, Coloma, Petilla, Abaya and especially Purisima.
Hanging tough with them is road to destruction. SAF men were the first casualties of poor judgment.
Erap is right. Don’t trust MILF or BIFF, Abu Sayyaf or Nur Misuari. Muslim conflicts worldwide never achieved peace, why believe that it could happen in the Philippines?
War is war where dying is expected! Tragic because contingency was hidden to accommodate a corrupt friend.
Wishful thinking is inapplicable to Muslim conflict!
Be Real!
leona says
There is war, why should there be vengeance? – Johnny Lin@
I do not subscribed to vengeance. Specially if any of that is implemented by a suspended cop!
And it should not implement a 4 year old oplan also. Too old for a disaster to come.
Drop the suspended cop in the center of the 3 brigades by para cute as cute as can be!
. . . and let him work his way out of it.

Do we view the conflict in Mindanao as a sectarian conflict, or should be look at it on a broader perspective that includes such atrocities as the Ampatuan massacre?
NHerrera says
I am not saying we should not re-invent the wheel but the confidence building and negotiations undertaken by then Atty. Leonen (now SC Justice) and Ms. Deles and their MILF counterparts — if only we knew all in those meetings, may contain a lot of concerns and issues discussed that may have addressed some elements of our concern.
Frankly, I would not know how to begin now if we have to start anew. Here is a case, I believe that subsequent meetings, if any, between GRP and MILF that discusses possible adjustments may be relatively small upgrade or tweaking of what have already been accomplished. It is like an upgrade of Windows 7 within the Win 7 framework, rather than an abrupt upgrade to Windows 8. As it stands it may be already be difficult to go back to the table. I really don’t know.

What would Pope Francis say about avenging the policemen’s death in Mindanao?
If I were Pope Francis, I may say — Stop spinning the wheels and take a long pause and think not only about your convictions and values but also the other side’s. Take a deep breath and count to ten so to speak — in this case counting to 1000 is more like the thing to do. If only this is done, killing due to road rage may not happen. Certainly true between the spats between husband and wife that leads to a separation or worse, death.
This advice is not meant only to the individual Filipinos but especially the politicians. Already there is the knee-jerk reaction of the call for a Senate Investigation. In this case because of the explosive nature of the problem (big promise versus big disaster) that the Senate may make an exception and take a diet of water and bread, instead of immediate diet of a Senate Investigation.
leona says
Rein in MILF !
If it wants a ‘basic law’ …follow a cease fire call then when it is called.
If not, so be it – no cease fire.

This just shows whatever, however and whoever preach any golden rules can’t make any changes on the people who are not united.
Mankind is on the path of self destruction over and over again, only this time people are more informed of the events because of the speed and presence of high technology. There is always a timetable when man is allowed to continue their unpleasant ways.
The cryptic scenario is told that until a war overcomes the ego of man or a threat of a comet impact pulverizing the planet by collision make the people unite unless divine intervention reverses the fate.
Yes, death to mankind and those who will survive will be the beginning of a lasting peace. It is a momentous shaking but a necessary evil for the world to enjoy its golden age and as well know who is the Lord of the universe
