DoJ to probe killings under GMA, excludes salvaging in Noy’s time
By Benjamin B. Pulta12/11/2010
The Aquino knives are still out to stab former President Arroyo after the Supreme Court struck down the truth commission finding President Aquino’s Executive Order 1 unconstitutional.
Justice Secretary Leila de Lima yesterday said the goverment will investigate extra-judicial killings which have cast a long shadow on the credibility of the Philippine government’s ability to maintain peace and order.
But there is a catch: The Justice department will be limiting its review of the extra-judicial killings only to incidents committed during the Arroyo administration.
“We will look into all cases, including cold cases, we will look into what (pieces of ) evidence there are so we can focus on those cases, so there can be progress,” De Lima said.
