DOJ creates panel on Maguindanao massacre
MANILA - The Department of Justice (DOJ) has created a panel tasked to immediately act, dispatch and resolve cases relating to the Maguindanao massacre.
In a memorandum, DOJ Acting Secretary Agnes Devanadera named 8 prosecutors to handle all cases stemming from what is now considered the worst election-related violence in the country.
They are Senior State Prosecutor Philip Kimpo, Senior Prosecutors Bernardo Parico, Rassendell Rene Gingoyon, Bunrofil Altares, Aldrin Evangelista, and Lamberto Fabros. Kimpo was appointed as the panel's chairman.
Other members include Prosecutor Rami Giuling of Maguindanao and Provincial Prosecutor Akilala Balt of Shariff Kabunsuan, Maguindanao.
"The team is directed to act with dispatch and resolve immediately cases that may be referred for inquest/preliminary investigation," Devanadera said in the memorandum.
Malacañang has already placed Maguindanao under indefinite state of emergency after 39 people—who were on their way to file a candidate's nomination to contest the province's governorship in next year's elections—were killed by a group of armed men in one of its towns on Monday. Sultan Kudarat and Cotabato City were also placed under state of emergency.
Jesus Dureza, presidential adviser on Mindanao affairs, told the ABS-CBN News Channel (ANC) earlier that President Arroyo has instructed him to act as head of a crisis management committee that would oversee military and police operations in the areas.

DOJ
Devanadera is a clown being hired by GMA to perform street acts. DOJ is not the Department Of Justice anymore, it is Department Of Jokes. Puwede kaya i-fast track ang oras para May 2010 na at ng lumayas na itong mga demonyo sa gobyerno.
Takbo DOJ, time to cover-up!

NAKIKIRAMAY KAMI SA MGA BIKTIMA
Nararamdaman namin kung gaano kasakit ang mawalan ng pamilya.Sana magkaroon ng kabuluhan ang pagsasakripisyo ng mga biktima na hindi na maulit uli ito kahit kanino man.Dapat ay pairalin ang batas.Sana sila rin ang kahuli-hulihang biktima ng karapatang pantao.
Saan galing ang armas ng mga ito?Siyempre sa ating mga military.Sabihin man natin na hindi ito ang tamang lugar para pag-usapan ang pulitika.Pero ang totoong politiko lang na may hangarin ng maganda sa bansa ang makakalutas ng problemang ito para hindi na maulit ang malagim na krimen.Marami na kaming beses nagkomento dito pero ito talaga ang dahilan kung bakit hanggang ngayon ay mahirap na bansa pa rin tayo.Sino ang magpapatupad ng batas?Kaya lang naman sila kumikilos dahil high profile case ito.Paano na ang maliliit na kaso rape,murder,killing at kidnap na hindi napublish sa daryo at radyo.Talamak na ang problema ng ating bansa,ang militar ,ang pulis at pulitiko ay hindi rin natin mapagkakatiwalaan.Ngayon panahon na talaga na mag-isip at bumoto ng tamang kandidato.Hindi matatapos ang kaguluhan at karahasan sa bansa kung ang namumuno sa bayan,lalawigan,kongresso,senado at malacanang ay hindi hangad ang pagbabago dahil walang nagpapatupad nito.
MAGUINDANAO,MENDIOLA,LUISITA,DACER AT CORBITO,BENTAIN AY ILAN LANG SA MGA MALALAKING KASO AT ISAMA PA NATIN ANG MALILIIT NA KASO SA BAYAN BAYAN NA HINDI NATIN NARINIG SA RADYO AT HINDI NABASA SA DYARYO.SILANG LAHAT AY BIKTIMA NG HUMAN RIGHTS DAHIL SA KARAHASAN NG MGA PULIS,MILITAR,PULITIKO AT MAYAYAMANG BUSINESSMAN.PARA LANG SILANG PUMAPATAY NG MANOK NA WALANG KALABAN-LABAN.DAHIL HAWAK NILA ANG BATAS.KAILANGAN KUMILOS TAYO AT ITO AY NGAYON NA.
