REOPENING THE MAMASAPANO PROBE: Senate President Franklin M. Drilon grills retired Philippine National Police (PNP) Special Action Force (SAF) Director Getulio Napeñas, resigned PNP Chief Alan Purisima (both not in picture), and other officials of the PNP and the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) during the re-opening of the Senate probe on the Mamasapano encounter on Wednesday, January 27, 2016. Under questioning by Drilon, Napeñas admitted that President Benigno Aquino III was not immediately informed of the extent of the casualties during the critical hours of the clash, which eventually left 44 SAF troopers dead.
