Duterte’s Plan To Reopen Mamasapano Case Opposed By Grace Poe

Grace Poe Opposed Duterte’s Plan To Reopen Mamasapano Case

President Rodrigo Duterte’s plan to reopen the Mamasapano case that took the lives of 44 policemen, opposed by Senator Grace Poe.

On Wednesday (October 26, 2016), Grace Poe said that a clear objective is required before the government reopens the case because she was the one who investigated the case in the senate. The government should clarify first its intention in opening the Mamasapano case.

The senator also said that the president has the direct access to PNP intelligence and AFP intelligence so reports and hearings are not necessary anymore regarding the information he needs to know such as “where did the $5 million reward money and the finger of Marwan goes?”

Poe explained that the government should focus on the things that haven’t discussed yet and not on the past issues that were already finished. The senator was the one who led the investigation on Mamasapano case when she was still the chairman of Senate committee on public order.
