Church leaders: Stop blame game

CHURCH leaders on Tuesday called on the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and the Philippine National Police (PNP) to stop their “blame game” over the death of 44 Special Action Force (SAF) commandos after a clash with combined forces of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) and the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF) in Mamasapano, Maguindanao, on January 25.

The Association of the Major Religious Superiors of the Philippines (AMRSP), through Fr. Dexter Toledo of the Order of Friars Minor, said both parties should exercise sobriety and prudence instead of pointing an accusing finger at each other.
