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.

Napenas’ voice cracked several times while he was reading his opening statement before the Senate committees on public order, peace, unification, and reconciliation, and finance.

“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.
