MANILA, Philippines — Relieved Special  Action Force Director Getulio Napeñas broke down while narrating during a public hearing in the Senate the bloody Mamasapano encounter  last January 25.

“Mission accomplished,  only that it happened at a high price…” he  said, referring to the death of 44 SAF men  who perished in the  operation.
