00:00 I hope that I will be in heaven one day.
00:05 I pray for all of them, 40%.
00:09 My children are very dear to me.
00:14 And with them, they are very dear.
00:20 My children are kind.
00:22 It is still hard for the family of PO2 Romeo Sempron to accept the arrest of the accused.
00:27 Along with other Special Action Force Commandos in the Sapano, Maguindanao, Siam area last year.
00:34 They are trying to live a normal life, but it seems that their dark part of life is not over yet.
00:41 Because until now, no one has been able to answer the death of the Tinagorean SAF 44.
00:47 For a long time, no one has been imprisoned.
00:56 They are just giving names.
01:00 But I want justice for all of the SAF 44.
01:04 The SAF's operation target was January 25, 2015,
01:08 to capture the well-known bomb-maker and terrorist, Zolkifli Binhir alias Marwan and Basit Usman
01:15 in the mines of the Sapano.
01:18 Marwan was killed, but Usman was escaped.
01:21 The area was hoping that the SAF Commandos would be able to finish the successful operation
01:26 when they were able to fight together with the armed groups in the area.
01:30 The police fought yesterday, but no help came for them.
01:35 Even though the former commander of the SAF, Hetulio Napenas,
01:38 still believes that there is no justice for the people he killed.
01:43 The accused in Ombudsman Sinanapenas,
01:46 former President Noyoyaquino,
01:48 and former PNP chief, Alan Purisima, were dismissed because of their command responsibility.
01:54 Not yet.
01:55 Was there a case filed against those people who killed the 44?
02:00 Until now.
02:01 Not yet.
02:02 I would like to see the dead be sentenced.
02:06 Because they killed them.
02:08 They are murderers.
02:09 They are killing them alive.
02:11 You know that. You saw that.
02:14 So do you think justice has been served?
02:16 That the case has not yet been filed?
02:18 And matched skill.
02:20 President Bongbong Marcos personally brought the memory of the 44
02:24 to the Philippine National Police Academy.
02:27 And the president will not forgive their sacrifice for the country.
02:31 In their last hours, in that place of honor,
02:34 we can draw many important lessons.
02:38 The lessons such as to put nation before self,
02:41 to display courage under fire,
02:44 to resolve to forge ahead,
02:47 to never give up.
02:50 We would also be disrespecting their memory if we give quarter
02:54 to those who terrorize our people.
02:57 We would be devaluing their valor if we cede our territory to those who would trespass upon it.
03:03 Lieutenant Colonel Raymond Train is one of the officers who were saved in Bakbakan.
03:08 Aside from the brave comrades, he also gave courage to others like him who were saved and continue to serve the country.
03:16 In the first instance, I call on you not to forget their sacrifices for the security of our country.
03:25 I salute your silent and honest service for the country.
03:31 From Silangkavite, George Cahiles, CNN Philippines.
