MANILA, Philippines – The PNP’s Board of Inquiry was not able to complete its report on the Mamasapano clash investigation. This is the reason why it failed to release the said result on Friday.
A text message from the head of the BOI, CIDG Chief Police Dir. Benjamin Magalong said, they will be submitting the result on Monday. This was also previously stated by DILG Sec. Mar Roxas.
According to PNP Spokesperson and Public Information Office Chief Police Chief Superintendent Generoso Cerbo Jr, the BOI is still waiting for the final reports of the operational audit team.
“He is still gathering the final reports from some members of the operational audit team. No final report is yet ready for submission,” he said.
Members of the operational audit team, on the other hand, assured that they will be sending their report before the day ends.
Cerbo stressed that the result will be released to the public so it would be better to wait for the BOI to finish.
“You will know of it, we will make an announcement about it,” he added.
According to the PNP, the result of the fact-finding of the BOI can be used to file charges against personalities behind the operation and the MILF and the BIFF who mercilessly killed the SAF 44.
Even the DOJ is waiting for the result of the BOI investigation for the filing of charges against responsible persons.
“Whatever document they can furnish us, they can share with us and then that’s the time that I can make any categorical statement,” Justice Secretary Leila De Lima said.
The PNP previously said that they are giving the BOI a month to wrap up their investigation but it has asked for a one-week extension and said that the results will be released March 6. (LEA YLAGAN / UNTV News)
