GENERAL SANTOS CITY (February 7, 2015) – "Hang on Fallen Heroes, Justice Will Come!"
This was the short, sincere and heartfelt message written by City Mayor Ronnel Rivera on the memorial wall for the "Fallen 44” or the members of the Philippine National Police - Special Action Force (PNP - SAF) who were killed in a deadly operation in Tukanalipao, Mamasapano, Maguindanao.
Mayor Rivera was present for the ecumenical service for the Fallen 44 at the Camp Fermin Lira Thursday (February 5) to show his respect and salute the SAF troopers.
With stern words, the mayor also outlined his support for a thorough and honest investigation as to what really had transpired during, before, and after the Mamasapano encounter.
“We should know first who had the shortcomings, who were those that made the wrong call,” the mayor said.
"I think it is proper for them to face charges,” he added.
“What we are seeking here is peace and order. Those 44 men did a valiant job in seizing Marwan but of course, that didn’t justify their death,” Mayor Rivera emphasized. (Gensan CPIO/ Ian John M. Lagare)
