ACCORDING TO MALAKANYANG… SHOOT TO KILL IS FORBIDDEN


ACCORDING TO MALAKANYANG… SHOOT TO KILL IS FORBIDDEN

By Belarmino Dabalos Saguing, Rome, Italy 14.07.2013 0655 ICT



Read from a news item : Sinabi ni Deputy Presidential Spokesperson Abigail Valte na nauunawaan nila na kailangang panatilihin ng mga local chief executives ang katahimikan sa kanilang lugar pero dapat pa rin itong gawin ng hindi lumalabag sa batas. Hindi aniya puwedeng lumabag sa batas ang sinuman sa pagnanais na mapanatili ang peace and order sa isang lugar. (Deputy Presidential spokesperson told the press that they understand the need of local chief executives to keep peace and order in their areas but they have to do it without breraking the law. Nobody could break the to enforce law and order).
From news item : Malacañang kay Duterte: “Shoot-to-kill, bawal ‘yan!” http://www.philstar.com/bansa/2013/07/14/965401/malacanang-kay-duterte-shoot-kill-bawal-yan

 


If this is the official policy of the Palace, then it must also apply to AFP—PNP with regards to EJK. The President, as Commander in Chief, must give the same order to his generals to do the pacification program within the folds of the law.

The records of the Armed Forces with regards to Human Rights under Aquino’s administration is indeed poor, if not dismal, and we still yet to hear from the president a word of disapproval from the president.

Is the president going against both the law and his own policy?  Now try that for size.
