"For once and for all, we (AFP) should admit first that there had been operational lapses that led to this
incident.
Bago ngayon magagalit tayo sa Presidente kung ayaw nya makipag-gyera?
Hindi kasing simple ng pag-lalaro sa computer game ang all-out-war.
Yung nangyari na yun sa mga SF tingin ko hindi yun dapat kung nakapag-plano lang sila ng maigi.
SF nga sila, they were properly trained, yes.
But Basilan is a very very different theater.
Kahit ano pa mang unit ka galing, or kahit anong rango mo, kung baguhan ka lang dyan mag-iingat ka.
The whole Island is an Enemy itself. The people you talk to today can point a gun in your head tomorrow.
Remember the beheaded Marines?
All along they (Marine Commanders) knew who perpetrated the be-headings and the worst part of it was, the
mastermind was not whom you would have thought it was.
And then came the BATASAN Bombing.
What came out of the investigation of the Batasan Bombing?

I'm not putting this issue back because I'm a soldier who wants war.
I would want war if the whole of Mindanao is in the brink of being overrun by the rebels.
But the Basilan incident was a failure of the AFP itself. Lessons are not being learned because
we are fool enough to deny any failures in the past.
Politics have tainted the Military culture for decades, and it continues to do so especially in Mindanao.
Madaming bulok ang sistema doon, kaya hindi matigil tigil ang gulo dahil kahit sino bulok ang sistema.
Pumunta tayo sa gyera kung wala na tayong bulok sa sarili nating bakuran, pero kung makikipag-gyera tayo ng
nanatiling ganito ang prinsipyo natin eh tama si Pnoy, sayang lang ang gastos, pagod, buhay ng mga sundalo.
Ayusin muna natin ang bakuran natin. Bago lang ang Army sa Basilan, hindi ko alam kung ano anong
nasa isip nila sa mga ginagawa nila dun, pero hindi yata katanggap tanggap ang isuong mo sa panganib ang
mga bagito mong tao. Matagal nang hayop ang mga tao doon, mga pinuno nila mga oportunista at ganid din sa pera.
Sa parte ng ARMY ayoko nang magsalita, sana mali ang iniisip ko pero marami na akong alam sa mga ganyang bagay.
sana hindi sila naging oportunista na nagresulta sa trahedya."
