FVR: PNoy liable in Mamasapano fiasco for violating command responsibility rule
Published March 18, 2015 11:27am
(Updated 12:28 p.m.) Former President Fidel V. Ramos on Wednesday agreed with the findings of a Senate panel and the Philippine National Police Board of Inquiry (BOI) that President Benigno Aquino III is ultimately responsible for the bloody Mamasapano incident.
In a press conference in his office in Makati City, Ramos said Aquino can be held administratively liable for the Mamasapano incident as he violated Executive Order 226 or the rule on command responsibility which the former President authored in 1995.
Any violation of this Executive Order by any government official, supervisor, officer of the PNP and that of any law enforcement agency shall be held administratively accountable for violation of existing laws, rules and regulations, Ramos said, reading a portion of EO 226.
There is no escaping that in the Philippines, we have been practicing the doctrine of command responsibility ever since we have been established as a government, added Ramos, who founded the SAF in 1983 when he was chief of the now defunct Philippine Constabulary.
Ramos said that EO 226 clearly covers the PNP, the Department of Interior and Local Government, the National Police Commision (NAPOLCOM) and all government offices under the Civil Service Commision (CSC).
This is very clear, command responsibility applies in all government offices, military and civilians. It also includes all agencies, all personnel under the supervision of the Civil Service Commission, Ramos said.
He maintained that the EO 226 still stands as it has never been amended or repealed since its issuance.
There is a chain of command in the Philippine National Police and it also applies to other agencies... Even in the corporate world, there is a chain of command. A commander is responsible for what his subordinate does or fails to do, Ramos said.
Crossing party lines, at least 14 senators have signed the draft Senate committee report citing Aquino as the one ultimately responsible for the Mamasapano massacre and two others are set to affix their signatures, Senator Grace Poe said Wednesday.
Poe, the chair of the Senate Committee on Public Order, on Tuesday said Aquino was accountable after he allowed the then suspended PNP chief Director-General Alan Purisima to be involved in overseeing Oplan Exodus in Mamasapano in the morning of Jan. 25.
PNP probe
In its report released last week, the PNP BOI said Aquino is liable for the incident for violating the chain of command and for giving the go signal in the execution of Oplan Exodus, a PNP-SAF operation aimed at arresting most-wanted terrorists Zulkifli bin Hir alias Marwan and Abdul Basit Usman.
The operation cost the lives of 44 PNP Special Action Force (SAF) troopers.
Meanwhile, the Senate, in a draft report released on Tuesday afternoon, also found Aquino ultimately responsible for the bloody incident as he allowed then-suspended PNP chief Director General Alan Purisima to be involved in overseeing Oplan Exodus.
Malacañang and even Justice Secretary Leila De Lima had earlier defended Aquino from the BOI report, saying that as the chief executive of a civilian organization like the PNP, it the prerogative of the President to talk to anyone of his subordinates in the PNP and cannot be compelled to follow the PNP's internal operational procedure.
Ramos, however, pointed out that while it may be true that the President is not the commander-in-chief of the PNP, he still has the direct control and supervision of the organization as stated in EO 226.
Let me read it to you, 'Any government official or supervisor, or officer of the Philippine National Police or that of any other law enforcement agency shall be held accountable for 'neglect of duty' under the doctrine of "command responsibility" if he has knowledge that a crime or offense shall be committed, is being committed, or has been committed by his subordinates, or by others within his area of responsibility and, despite such knowledge, he did not take preventive or corrective action either before, during, or immediately after its commission, Ramos said, reading Section 1 of the EO.
So as the chief executive of the PNP, it is clear that he has liability, Ramos said.
Ramos, however, agreed with the statement of Poe that Aquino has immunity in any charges while he is still in office, and can only be held accountable for the Mamasapano incident through an impeachment proceedings or by filing charges against him in court after his term.
In the case of President Aquino, administrative and even criminal charges can be imposed at a latter time, after his term. Charges may be filed in court after his term, Ramos said. Or maybe through an impeachment, but mukhang malabo yun.
House Speaker Feliciano Belmonte had earlier said that Aquino cannot be impeached on the grounds of his alleged liabilities in the Mamasapano incident.
Based on the Constitution, an impeachment complaint against the President must emanate from the House of Representatives. It must be approved by the House Committee on Justice and has to secure the votes of at least one-third of the members of the House in a plenary session.
The Senate, sitting as an impeachment court, must then hear the impeachment complaint filed by the House of Representatives.
According to Section 2 Article 11 of the 1987 Constitution, an impeachable officer such as the President can be removed from office through conviction in an impeachment complaint based on the following grounds: culpable violation of the Constitution, treason, bribery, graft and corruption, betrayal of public trust and other high crimes.
