Ombudsman pursuing Mamasapano probe

THE Office of the Ombudsman’s investigation into complaints against former President Benigno Aquino 3rd in connection with the anti-terrorist police operation in Mamasapano in 2015 is ongoing, according to Ombudsman Conchita Carpio Morales.

“As far as the complaints against Aquino are concerned, of course those are still being investigated, you cannot instantly assess whether there is probable cause or ground to conduct preliminary investigation,” Morales said at the sidelines of an awarding ceremony at the Tandang Sora Shrine in Quezon City.
