THERE are now five scripts unraveled by the Mamasapano tragedy conducted by the SAF through the planning and design by suspended CPNP Purisima. The first two via the national address made by BSA3 where: 1) he will look into the operation and 2) he has accepted the resignation of suspended CPNP Purisima. Then came the meeting of BSA3 with leaders and select members of the House of Representatives last week. In this meeting, sound bytes were released to media on how the president “was made to believed” and was “lied [to] through” the whole Mamasapano covert mission. From a mere incident to suicide mission, Mamasapano is now classified as a covert operation. The fourth storyline was that the president cannot be accused of any crime and he has not done any wrong. And the fifth, and very recent, is the Ombudsman should review the liabilities of Purisima in the light of the suspension and his active involvement in Mamasapano.

Funny, all these scripts are being offered and yet not one single government agency, of the nine looking into Mamasapano, has released their reports publicly. The MILF chose to submit theirs to Malaysia first. The Board of Inquiry is said to be submitting their report on 6 March. The Committee Report of the Senate is still in the drafting stages without much information being made public on the four executive sessions it conducted.
