Malacanang thanked private companies who
extended their assistance to the families of the 44 PNP-Special Action Force
Commandos who died in the bloody Mamasapano clash last January 25.
Presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda said many private companies went to Camp Bagong Diwa in Taguig, the SAF headquarters, to extend financial assistance to the families of the slain commandos.
"And like we said here in our press release that the government is also reaching out to the private sector to recommend the employment of relatives of the SAF troopers."
With regards to the families in Mamasapano, Maguindanao, who were also affected by the encounter, Lacierda made an assurance that the Department of Social Welfare and Development will come in to help them.
What happened in Mamasapano is one of the ill effects of an armed conflict, Lacierda added.
"The DSWD, I know, is also doing their share in providing assistance to the displaced persons in the Mamasapano community," he said.
Aside from the 44 casualties on the government side, the MILF reported having lost 18 combatants to the encounter. There were also reports of civilian casualties in Mamasapano as a result of the day-long fire fight. (PCOO News Release)
