THE hasty passage, as President BS Aquino wishes, of the Bangsamoro Basic Law bill in its present form will produce more crises and tragedies worse than the Mamasapano massacre.  That disaster happened because PNoy relied on his old and trusted friend, then suspended national police chief Alan Purisima to serve as his alter ego in carrying out the commando mission. And he (PNoy) ordered military units that wanted to save the lives of our  44 PNP-SAF commandos to stand down.

He took the “negative, negative” decision because he was afraid letting our soldiers do the right and honorable thing would wreck his precious peace process with the MILF.
