Zubiri: OK with guns as long as papers are complete learned of the Executive Department’s swift response to the issue,” he said.

Padilla is seeking a Senate probe into the killings through a Senate Resolution No. 664 he filed.

He also said he hopes that in the first week of July, the implementing panel of the government and the MILF Coordinating Committee on the Cessation of Hostilities (CCCH) and the Ad Hoc Joint Action Group (AHJAG) will start discussions on a possible joint verification and investigation of the incident.

“All these being considered, I am giving way to the investigation. I trust that the DOJ and other agencies will move to address the issues raised by the MILF.”

“I call earnestly for the unity of the Bangsamoro Human Rights Commission and the Commission on Human Rights in the investigation, to ensure that human rights are upheld,” he further stated.
