During the 29th anniversary of the PSG (Presidential Security Guard), Aquino hit  back at critics accusing him of a cover-up, a day after he blamed Napenas of  feeding him the wrong info about the January 25 police operation against the  two terrorists that ended in the slaughter of 44 police commandos. A defiant  Aquino, Tuesday (03/10/15) hit back at critics demanding his accountability over  the death of 44 police commandos, describing them as "attention-seekers." "I have courage because I'm doing what is right, and if I have shortcomings, God will take care of them, including my security," he said in a speech. "The President is engaging in a brazen cover-up of his responsibility and that of his trusted aide (resigned PNP Director General Alan) Purisima for the tragic SAF mission and placing all the blame on the ground commander (Getulio) Napenas," said his erstwhile ally, Akbayan Rep.  Walden Bello. "This is the latest development in the shrinking of the man from a  credible President to a small-minded bureaucrat trying to erase his fingerprints  from a disastrous project," said Bello, who declared on Tuesday that he was cutting  his ties to the President. Before a gathering of evangelical church leaders on the  ground of Malacanang, Aquino on March 9 absolved himself of responsibility for the Mamasapano fiasco, saying he "was given the wrong information by the people who knew most of what was happening." Aquino acknowledged that he was  communicating with Napenas through Purisima, then suspended in connection with a graft case in the Office of the Ombudsman. Purisima resigned days after the  Mamasapano debacle.
