DUTERTE AND COMPANY SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED

By Bayawanon

President Duterte, Secretary Lorenzana, General Ano and General Bato must be investigated regarding the Marawi crisis since they knew the fact that the composite group of Maute, ISIS, and Abu Sayyaf would attack Marawi basing on the interviews they had.

Duterte, Bato, Lorenzana, Ano, and company knew the fact that the ISIS, Maute and Abu Sayyaf would attack Marawi City by way of intelligence reports but they did not do anything that may possibly avert the looming security problem.

The quartet has underestimated the intelligence reports and even managed to go to Russia for the president's state visit in the said country. Such state visit was very inopportune for the same was done at the height of a treat to the Phillippines' state security.

President Duterte and company should have deferred the Russian state visit and should have prepared a grand military plan to avert the security threat to the City of Marawi. Such omission or failure to defend the Islamic City of Marawi can be considered as an incompetence on the part of the president and his National Security Cluster of his Cabinet which shall be investigated by the proper authorities.

If the people felt sad on what happened to the SAF 44 to the effect that they wanted PNOY to be investigated and prosecuted, then Duterte and company must be investigated too, since the damage being inflicted by the government in the matter of the Mamasapano massacre would just be a speck compared to the damage of the incompetence of Duterte, Lorenzana, Bato, Ano and company in the Marawi crisis.
