Slain Commandos Snubbed - A National Disgrace!

Reportedly, Aquino first ordered the mural depicting the Special Armed Forces (SAF) be removed from the wall of the Philippine National Police Academy. And now, the names of three troopers due to be awarded recognition for bravery (one posthumously as well as two survivors) have been delisted at the President's behest.

Probably something to do with sweeping this sorry incident under the carpet
