    The document summarizes an investigation into the 2005 Bicutan Siege in the Philippines where 23 detainees and one police officer died. The siege occurred when detainees barricaded themselves and demanded a speedy trial and assurances of safety if they surrendered. After negotiations failed, police stormed the facility, resulting in deaths. The investigation by human rights groups found that the siege was a premeditated effort by the government to eliminate identified enemies of the state, rather than incompetence or a breakdown in control. It concluded the government failed to adequately explain the massacre or adopt proposed reforms.

    Revisiting the Bicutan Siege

    Based in my idea that was happened that Special Action Forces of the

    Philippines National Police stormed an attempted jailbreak in a maximum

    security detention center in Bicutan, Taguig City, Philippines, on March 15,

    2005. It results of separate investigation conducted by the Commission on

    Human Rights(CHR) and Philippines Alliance of Human Rights

    Advocates(PAHRA). And the official statement of government officials

    involved. There are three(3) justification emerge to explain the death of 23

    detainees and a member of the National Police: (1) Incompetence of

    Prisons and Police personnel;(2) a breakdown of administrative control

    over the police assault team; and (3) a premeditated and concerted effort to

    eliminate identical enemies of the state. It includes that the third option in

    the most credible, which is bolstered by the government meager response

    to explain the massacre, and by failing to adopt measures proposed by the

    Philippine Commission of Human Rights. In that after a standoff of more

    than 24hours, the police gained control of the facility; many are wounded

    and 23 detainees was dead, and member of the PNP-SAF was also killed.

    In an attempt to fully understand the Bicutan Siege, explanations are

    explored and analyze the separate investigation by the (CHR) Commission

    on Human Rights and Philippine Alliance of Human Rights Advocates


    (PAHRA), The evidence suggest that the Bicutan Siege was a premiditated

    and conserted effort of the National government to eliminate identified

    enemies of the state (the members of the Abusayyaf Group or ASG),

    notwithstanding that they were on or awaiting for trial in their criminal acts.

    In such negotiation the spokesperson of Limbong's group he is 'Ka Lando'

    he has four demands (1) speedy trial of their cases (2)assurance that they

    would not be harmed if they surrendered,(3) respect for their human rights ,

    (4) airing of their grievances before members of the press (CHR 2006)

    Secretary Reyes the head of crisis management team asked the group to

    surrender first before they would given access to the media, but the

    barricade detainees insisted that the media interviews come first, and later

    on Secretary Reyes acceded to this demand; Limbong’s group requested

    that they be allowed to eat and pray first. In my opinion of this it was

    happen due to maltreatment of the offenders inside the prison jail, they

    want justice that they were also human to indulge due process of law. In

    contrast government will not give special treatment to the offenders; lack of

    funds to make and give to the prisoners they want to, and for those who

    participated in siege they will make a maximum tolerance in promulgating

    human rights of the person’s that’s why they will arising in the Bicutan

    Siege, that they never forgot as a riot between PNP-SAF and Abusayyaf
    Group(ASG)including MILF and MNLF members that threaten the

    government as a rebellion cases. Moreover it will give chaos to other

    detainees who are in Bicutan jail where there were no relations to the

    siege. Most of the participated are the members of the ASG and have a

    rebellion cases in our government. They wanted to have equality of

    humanities but the government perceptions are to take them in a long and

    narrow promulgating the sentences of the suspected militant and warrior. In

    lieu of this the government must heard the equal distribution of the law in

    our constitution. But fairly to the government officials, we accept that we

    are lack of personnel in the juridical justice to handle cases; to fast tracking

    due to the fact that may cases will be prioritize to prosecute and give the

    justice of the crimes committed. But inspite of that the said crimes in the

    Bicutan jail was surprisingly to the government that they made in relation to

    the human rights which we are equally protected by laws. In the Philippines

    we accept the reality that some various crimes even it is a minor crimes it

    was a premeditated and time consuming to the court due to lack of

    personnel(judges) to make a verdict of the said crimes. So the cases runs

    slowly ; we know the reality of that, it is one basis that was happened in

    Bicutan Siege on March 15, 2005. Even of the crime committed we give

    them equality as being a human; inspite of the cases and crimes


    committed. Because every person has the right to change and reform all

    their sins that they will interact at the time they are in the community.
