TAHASANG kinondena ng Federation of Free Workers (FFW) ang pagmasaker ng mga tauhan ng Philippine National Police (PNP) sa apat na intelligence officer ng Philippine Army (PA) sa Jolo nitong Hunyo 29.

Binatikos din ng FFW ang “unprofessional police attitude” matapos maganap ang krimen dahil hindi sinunod ng siyam na pulis ang alituntunin matapos ang isang krimen.

Nitong Hunyo 29, tinutugis nina Major Marvin Indammog, Captain Irwin Managuelod, Sergeant Jaime Velasco at Corporal Abdal Asula ang dalawang suicide bombers ng Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) nang harangin at pagbabarilin sila ng siyam na pulis.

Ayon sa pangulo ng FFW na si Atty. Jose Sonny Matula, kinikilala ng FFW ang kagitingan ng apat na sundalo.

“Their names shall be remembered by a grateful nation. They are heroes who died in line of duty to protect the Filipino people,” wika ni Matula.

“As we look at the CCTV footage of the aftermath of the incident on June 29, 2020, it appears that the circumstances surrounding the case is not a mis-encounter but a gruesome killing of helpless persons in civilian clothes who were later-on identified as army intelligence operatives,” banggit ni Matula.

Aniya: “The video will tell us the undisciplined and unskilled post incident investigation of the police. More anomalous were the action of the police investigators in the crime scene. In violation of standard police procedure, no police line cordon was installed to preserve evidence, the police officers and civilians were loitering, touching the bodies of the victims, opening the door to the driver’s seat of the soldiers’ vehicle, among others.”

Dahil sa naganap na krimen, inulit ni Matula ang dati nang panawagan ng FFW sa pamahalaan na repormahin ang PNP upang madisiplina nang husto ang mga opisyal at tauhan ng pambansang pulisya. NELSON S. BADILLA
