Interior Secretary Mar Roxas forgot to tell President Aquino of the request Police Director Benjamin Magalong to interview him before the Board of Inquiry on the Mamasapaano tragedy released their report last March 13, ABS-CBN reported.
Magalong said he met with Aquino in Malacañang on Tuesday together with Roxas and Philippine National Police Officer-in-Charge Leonardo Espina.
He said Roxas also apologized for failing to inform the President about the BOI’s request to interview him regarding the Mamasapano mission.
“Binanggit din niya syempre yung issue na bakit hindi ko siya na-interview. At in-explain ko rin sa kanya na, inamin din naman ni Secretary [Roxas] na talagang sa dami ng trabaho nakalimutan na mabanggit kay Presidente at dapat na-remind ko sila,” he said.
It will be recalled that Presidential Spokesperson scored the BOI for not getting the side of the President before issuing the report.
It was reported here Monday that Magalong asked Roxas last March 9 to relay their request to Aquino for an interview.
