Alok ng Maute ibinasura
MANILA, Philippines - Ibinasura ng Malacañang ang ‘demand’ ng Maute leader na si Abdullah Maute na palit-ulo kung saan ay payag daw silang palayain ang mga bihag kabilang si Marawi priest Fr. Chito Suganob kapalit ng pagpapalaya naman sa inarestong mga magulang at kapatid ng Maute brothers.
“Government won’t negotiate with terrorists amid ‘palit-ulo’ claim. Government upholds a no-negotiation policy with terrorists,” sabi ni Presidential Spokesman Ernesto Abella.
Ipinadala ni Abdullah ang kanyang mensahe sa Muslim leader sa pagtatapos ng Eid’l Fitr o Ramadan.
Kasalukuyang nakakulong ang mga magulang ng Maute brothers na sina Cayamora at Ominta “Farhana” Maute sa Camp Bagong Diwa, Taguig City matapos madakip sa kasong rebellion.
Kasama ring nakapiit ang magkapatid na sina Farida Pangompig Romato at Aljadid Pangompig Romato alias Hadid at kasintahan ni Farida na si Abdulrahman Serad Dimakatuh na naaresto naman noong Hunyo 18 sa Iloilo City port.
“Negotiations between religious leaders and Maute group over the weekend not sanctioned by the government,” sabi ni Abella.
Magugunita na noong Linggo sa 8-hour humanitarian pause ay nakipag-usap ang grupo ni OPAPP Asec. Dickson Hermoso kasama ang 8 Muslim religious leaders kay Abdullah upang hilinging palayain na ang kanilang mga hostage.
Hindi naman isinasara ng Malacañang ang posibilidad na ‘MILF intervention’ sa Marawi crisis gaya ng kahilingan ng Maute group.
“All possibilities are being considered in talks with Maute group,” paliwanag pa ni Abella.
“AFP remains committed to bringing a decisive resolution to Marawi crisis,” wika pa ng tagapagsalita ni Pangulong Duterte.
Sinabi rin ni AFP Public Affairs Office Chief Col. Edgard Arevalo na walang plano ang militar na patulan ang hamon ng Maute.
“We cannot agree on prisoners swap because they are not in equal footing... the good priest Father Chito is not a prisoner in the right sense while the Maute parents together with their cohorts and companions have been all charge with a very serious crime of rebellion,” paliwanag ni Arevalo.
