MANILA, Philippines — Malacañang is not keen on supporting the creation of a truth commission to look into the bloody clash in Mamasapano, Maguindanao.
Deputy Presidential Spokesperson Abigail Valte said Saturday that there are already several bodies conducting investigations on the January 25 encounter that resulted in the deaths of 44 Special Action Force troopers.
Valte said that the public should wait for the results of other probes on the incident even after the release of the report by the Philippine National Police Board of Inquiry (BOI) earlier this week.
"Siguro po hintayin natin ang paglabas din nung mga findings ng ibang report," Valte said in an interview over state-owned dzRB. "Baka naman sa sinasabi nung kongresistang ito ay makita pa doon sa mga ibang report na lalabas."
Valte was referring to statements of some lawmakers who said that the BOI report, which took a month to finish, is incomplete.
