First of all, I would like to extend my condolences to the families of these brave gentlemen who sacrificed their precious lives for the peace and order situation in our country, and the civilians who lost their lives from the massacre.
As for the deaths of the 44 PNP Special Action Force (SAF) members, it will be the passage of time that will enable the surviving loved ones to move on with their loss, as the case will not really be resolved to their satisfaction.
This incident will have an adverse effect on President Aquino regarding his image as the Commander in Chief of the PNP as well as the rest of the Armed Forces of the Philippines. He will be seen as a "hesitant flip-flopping " commander in chief, as pointed out by former President Fidel V. Ramos. DILG Secretary Mar Roxas will not be seen as to having handled the case effectively. This will have a not so good effect on Mar Roxas' 2016 presidential bid.
Negotiations, most of them done in secret, will be started between the Philippine government panel and the people representing Bangsamoro, resulting in the recovery of the firearms, military equipment, and other personal belongings that was taken from the #fallen44. However, their killers among the MILF and the BIFF will still be free. And this is why the surviving loved ones of the #fallen44 will see that there was no real resolution of the case. This will also have a negative effect on the morale of the rest of the PNP community, although they will still tow the line with their duties under their respective commanders.
As to the two alleged terrorists under the US Wanted list, the cards say:
- Yes, Zulkifli Abdhir, otherwise known as Commander Marwan indeed met his demise in the hands of the PNP SAF operatives, contrary to the claims of the MILF.
- Basmit Usman, the second bomb expert pursued by the PNP SAF operatives will eventually be captured late this year, but in Malaysia, not in the Philippines.
The grievances of the surviving relatives of the civilian casualties caught in the cross fire between the PNP SAF, and the MILF, BIFF will be totally missed off by the national government, leaving perhaps local barangay officials to address their concerns.
Finally, the real reason behind this clash or massacre will, unfortunately, never be known to the public.
