Absolving the Principal
In its recent report,
the full copy of which has yet to be released to the public, the Melo
Commission formed by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo to investigate the
extrajudicial killings of activists and journalists stopped at the level
of retired Maj. Gen. Jovito Palparan, Jr. – pointing to the involvement of
soldiers under his command in the slays – and merely making them
accountable for command responsibility. The report absolved military
officials and the Arroyo administration for the extrajudicial killings and
enforced disappearances which are crimes against humanity. President
Arroyo and the military have been brandishing the national-security plan
Oplan Bantay Laya (now on its second phase), which does not distinguish
between guerrillas in the hills and activists in the streets, and makes
them all targets of “neutralization.”
Salungguhit literally means to
underline; figuratively, to
underscore or highlight.
