What a way to spend his first day as a private citizen!
Relatives of the elite policemen from the Special Action Force (SAF) killed in the 2015 Mamasapano clash will file a multiple homicide case against former President Benigno Aquino III a day after turning over his post to his successor Rodrigo Duterte.
They will also file the same criminal charges against former Police Director General Allan Purisima, and former SAF Director Getulio Napenas, GMA News reports.
With the assistance of Volunteers Against Crime and Corruption, the families will waste no time and file the case on July 1, at 10 am — just a day after the expiration of Aquino’s six-year presidential immunity from suit.
Aquino earlier said that he wants to take bread-making classes after he steps down.
It may be recalled thathe Mamasapano clash happened when government forces were trying to capture terrorists in Maguindanao last year.
The incident nearly killed 70 people, including 44 members of the Philippine National Police Special Action Force, 18 Moro Islamic Liberation Front members, and five civilians.
According to the Philippine National Police Board of Inquiry, Aquino bypassed the chain of command leading to the clash.
