Andal Ampatuan Jr., the prime suspect in last Monday's grisly massacre in Maguindanao province, was flown to Manila and brought to the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) office Thursday night to be detained pending investigation.

Ampatuan, who arrived without handcuffs at the NBI compound around 7:45 p.m., denied masterminding the mass killing that victimized at least 57 people, including women and journalists.
"Napakadali para magbintang. Dapat may ebidensya. Wala akong kasalanan. Ang may kasalanan ay MILF Umbra Kato (It's so easy to accuse someone. There should be evidence. I'm innocent. The culprits are with MILF's Umbra Kato)," he told newsmen in a short interview while inside the NBI detention facility.

Ampatuan, mayor of Datu Unsay town in Maguindanao, was referring to the leader of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) faction that attacked several civilian communities in Central Mindanao last year.
"Mga terorista ang mga iyon e (They are terrorists)," he said, adding that he was at the municipal hall when the massacre happened on Monday morning.

MILF spokesman Eid Kabalu similarly laughed off Ampatuan's claims, saying Kato does not operate in Ampatuan town where the massacre occurred.
Kabalu said Kato's unit operates mainly in Datu Piang and Kabuntalan in Maguindanao, and in Libungan, Midsayap and Aleosan in North Cotabato.
"Di na hahantong sa idawit ang MILF sa barbaric act na ito. Malinaw na malinaw ang pangyayari at saka I believe ongoing ang thorough investigation ng gobyerno (I don't think the MILF will be dragged into this barbaric act. What happened was clear and I believe the government's thorough investigation is still ongoing)," he said in an interview on dzXL radio.
Huwag natin patulan ito, another panlilinlang ito siguro (We will not dignify this attempt to mislead investigators)," he added.

Oh hell with the philippine government the know the suspects but what are they waiting for?
the are arresting gunmens not the one who is behind the crime.
Mangudadatu said the body of his murdered wife had been horrifyingly mutilated and that his dead sister and aunt had both been pregnant.
"We can't call him an animal because I have pets and they are tame. No, he is a monster. They are monsters," Mangudadatu told reporters, referring to Ampatuan Jnr and his gunmen."My wife's private parts were slashed four times, after which they fired a bullet into it," he added.
"They speared both of her eyes, shot both her breasts, cut off her feet, fired into her mouth. I could not begin to describe the manner by which they treated her."
The death toll rose from 46 to 57 in Wednesday after 11 more bodies were pulled out of shallow graves, according to police.
The victims included at least 13 local journalists who had been intending to report on Mangudadatu's governorship nomination, making Monday's killings the deadliest single attack on the media in history.
