Elite security troops not used in rescue try
Santiago told Marcos that during the hostage-taking incident, SAF troops were placed under the control of MPD head Chief Superintendent Rodolfo Magtibay, who was the ground commander of police forces at the time.
They were never deployed.
“So it’s up to the ground commander? (I) have to question your judgment,” Marcos told Santiago. “You have the best unit waiting and not doing anything.”
Senate President Pro Tempore Jose "Jinggoy" Estrada echoed Marcos' statement while grilling Magtibay.
"Walang ginawa ang SAF kahit nandoon sila? Hind ninyo ni-utilize ang kanilang kakayahan?" Estrada asked.
"Yes," Magtibay said.
