There are 44 honorable SAF. Comparatively to 47 Ronin which they bring the loyalty, honesty, bravery, and courage without question.
They were killed in Mamasapano town in Maguindanao last Sunday, January 25, 2015 during a clash of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) members and Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF), according to news report of GMA.
President Benigno Simeon Aquino III is issued a national televised address to the nation after the brutal killings of the members of the PNP-SAF in Mamasapano, Maguindanao. However, the President also declared in January 30, 2015, as a day of national mourning, solidarity with the bereaved families of the slain members of the PNP’s elite forces.
A Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) spokesman said at least four of its members and more than 40 cops were killed in the clash that happened near the remote town of Mamasapano before dawn.
The PNP in Mamasapano said it would still have to validate the information. But in a separate interview with the Associated Press, Mayor Tahirudin Benzar Ampatuan already confirmed that more than 30 cops were killed in the incident.
Interior and Government Secretary Mar Roxas earlier said 26 cops were killed in the incident, but later clarified that he is not certain with the numbers, as information continues to come in.
Deadly encounters
The clash in Mamasapano was only the second since two soldiers and 18 Muslim gunmen were killed in a clash in Basilan in April 2014.
Such incidents once broke out with much greater frequency prior to the signing of the treaty, during a rebellion that has claimed tens of thousands of lives.
After the April fighting, the government accused the MILF of helping Islamic extremists under attack from security forces. The group acknowledged four of its members were killed.
Since the peace deal was struck, government forces have been going after the BIFF, a group of several hundred Muslim gunmen who last year pledged allegiance to Islamic State fighters in Iraq and Syria.
The military, meanwhile, said in a statement that they have already sent members of the International Monitoring Team (IMT), the Ceasefire Committee on the Cessation of Hostilities (CCCH), and the Ad Hoc Joint Action Group (AHJAG) on ground to facilitate a peaceful resolution.
"The AFP helped the PNP in extricating police casualties of this morning's encounter while the PNP conducted operations against lawless elements and in carrying out a warrant of arrest.
"No military units were involved in the fighting. The IMT, AHJAG and CCCH are already in the ground to facilitate the peaceful resolution of the violent clash today. The PNP PIO will release the relevant info about the incident," the statement read.
Roxas said he hopes that peace in Mindanao will be achieved even after the incident.
"I trust that peace in Mindanao will be achieved when all sides, government and the MILF, as well as our people, will be steadfast in this resolve. Wala pong kapalit sa hustisya't kapayapaan. Hindi karahasan ang lunas," he said. —ABS-CBNnews.com with reports from Agence France-Presse and Arianne Apatan, ABS-CBN News Central Mindanao
