Sen. Panfilo Lacson offered a snappy salute to the Armed Forces of the Philippines Friday for immediately rectifying false claims that policemen tampered with evidence at the scene of the fatal shooting of four Army agents in Jolo.
Lacson, in a post on his Twitter account, lauded the AFP for showing maturity and professionalism on the incident where four Army agents were gunned down by Jolo police last Monday.
“My snappy salute to the AFP for their maturity and professionalism in immediately rectifying false claims that responding policemen tampered with the crime scene in Jolo, Sulu, even going to the extent of apologizing for the action of their soldiers in mishandling the situation” he said.

On Thursday, Army spokesman Col. Ramon Zagala issued a clarification on a CCTV footage circulating online, showing a crowd gathering at the scene of the shooting.
Zagala said the crowd was composed of responding soldiers and not policemen. He said the responding soldiers were part of a “takedown team” of two suspected Abu Sayyaf bombers.
The footage had showed the responding team checking the bodies of the slain Army agents, with one taking something out of the sport-utility vehicle the Army men rode in.
Reports said former Armed Forces chief of staff Ricardo Visaya posted the CCTV footage on his Facebook account, claiming the situation was mishandled by police.
The National Bureau of Investigation is looking into the incident.
