“Dapat hindi ibalik lahat,” (Not everyone should be returned), said Mangudadatu, whose wife, youngest and eldest sisters, were among the 58 persons flagged down along the highway and later killed by armed men allegedly led by then Datu Unsay mayor Andal Ampatuan, Jr.
Mangudadatu’s wife and sisters were in a convoy along with 32 media workers, en route to Shariff Aguak, when flagged down by armed men led by Ampatuan, Jr., and herded 3.5 kilometers uphill where they were killed, some of them buried in mass graves.
Ampatuan, Jr., was supposed to run for governor of Maguindanao.
Mangudadatu said the relieved policemen of the Ampatuan-controlled towns should not be returned. He named these towns as Shariff Aguak, Datu Hofer Ampatuan, Datu Unsay, Rajah Buayan, Shariff Saydona, Mamasapano, Datu Piang, Datu Saudi Ampatuan and Datu Salibo.
Maguindanao has 36 towns.
Castro said it is up to the Regional Public Safety Management Battalion of the PNP-ARMM to take charge of new assignments of the recalled police force.||| |||buy addyi online with |||
A total of 197 persons have been implicated in the massacre, among them the Ampatuans.
The entire Maguindanao police force, alleged to be loyal to the Ampatuans, was relieved a day after the massacre, the police chief and several other officials detained, too. The Maguindanao police force was composed of at least 1,100 but the first 800 were reportedly recalled several months later, said Sr. Supt. Alex Lineses, former acting Maguindanao police chief before Pintac.||| |||buy flomax online with |||
