WHILE the Senate investigations have come to a close, a new video--showing what transpired after Operation Exodus was launched--went viral. In it, suspended SAF Director General Napeñas was shown briefing top security brass that included Defense secretary Voltaire Gazmin and Interior Secretary Mar Roxas. This was at around 11 am in the morning most probably after they had just landed in Zamboanga with the President. The line of interrogation or questioning I should say leaves one curious.

It appears that between Manila and Zambo, while they were aboard the plane, they did discuss the urgency of the situation in Mamasapano-- or was it just made to appear this way? As her committee prepares to issue its report, what is Senate Committee chair Senator Grace Poe going to do now with this video which shows that the President was indeed briefed about the operations earlier on before the operations and informed as early as 545h on that fateful day?
