”I decided to suspend indefinitely all hearings on the BBL in the south until this killing of PNP SAF is clarified,” Marcos said in a press briefing after a Senate hearing on the BBL’s constitutionality. ”We cannot in conscience, proceed with these hearings while a cloud of serious doubt hangs over the security situation in the south. A peace agreement cannot be legislated under the threat of such extreme violence. Violence has no room in a civilized society,” he added. Marcos said the action of the MILF to kill the policemen was in violation of the ceasefire between the MILF and the government. ”The killing of the 30 policemen should have no part in the peace process. This is no joke. We cannot continue as if nothing happened,” Marcos said.
