What a shame!!!



The hostage taking incident last night by an ex-policeman to a bus containing Hong Kong nationals was a big disgrace to our country. Yes, you read it right a "BIG DISGRACE"! Why? Because 8 people died there.

Our police must protect the lives of the victims and in this scenario, they must make the situation calm and peaceful. No panic at all and most importantly, resolve it without violence and with proper negotiation process.

Hong Kong nationals now will surely get angry of what happened to their countrymen only having a vacation here in the Philippines. It is considered a man slaughter and a tragedy! I hope our president will make an action with regards to this one and most importantly talk to the president of Hong Kong sincerely. I'm also hoping that the trust and respect between these 2 countries stay the same of what happened last night.

Face the fact that our policemen lack proper training, advance gadgets, resources and etc. that will help them resolve this kind of situation in a peaceful manner and no violence. As I'm watching the live video of hostage taking last evening, it was truly funny because there are so many mistakes. Imagine this, it is only 1 gunman inside the bus and will take them almost a whole day to settle this and end in a tragedy, hmmm..... I don't want to say anymore... truly a big tragedy.
