ug makalagot jud ning police brutality...

mga walay utok..

unta NBI nag handle ani..kay bugo jod ning mga police.
kabalo na sila na it might cause anger..
ila jud gipadayun!


kalagot! paka uwaw lng mo!

We were going to wait him out. The idea was to let the ground commanders who are the experts in this field handle the operation with minimal interference from people who are less expert.

But the situation deteriorated rapidly when, during the course of the negotiations, he was given the letter of the Ombudsman in which she promised to personally review his case. As he was reading the contents of the letter, while talking to an unknown individual on the phone, he became increasingly agitated.

The presence of his brother also added to the tension.

At this point, he threatened to kill a hostage. The police decided to remove the brother from the scene. As the negotiators were departing, the negotiators were shot at.

Media coverage of his brother being taken into custody further agitated the hostage-taker.

Shots were fired. They seemed to be warning shots, as there was no audible indication of tumult or chaos to show that the hostages were in immediate danger.

Nonetheless, the negotiators tried to reestablish contact the hostage-taker but they were unsuccessful as the cellphone of the hostage-taker was continuously busy. He also refused to answer the throw-phone provided for him by the authorities.

The escape of the driver, combined with his reports that the hostages were being harmed, forced the assault to happen. When the vehicle began to move, and with reports that he had hand grenades, a decision was made to immobilize the vehicle as it would have made the situation even more dangerous.

As we know, the incident tragically ended in the deaths of eight innocent civilians.

tsk tsk tsk

Monday morning here in the US and the fist thing i saw on TV was the ongoing assualt on the bus by the so called "PNP Swat Team". Every bit of the action was aired live simultaneously on CNN and FOX news. Pero na uwaw ko nag tanaw, Ni samot ang akung ka uwaw ug ka luoy nagtanaw nila nag pundok sa likod sa bus, unya ang usa nag dala ug maso nag sige dok-dok sa glass..pag ka kinkoy tanawon. Ni samot pa gyud kay gi interview sa CNN Asia ang usa ka chief of police sa Manila, ang english dili magkadi-mao..ang tubag sa pangu-tana nya kay nag buwag.

Govt should have created a crisis team when the incident started and appoint someone who will provide hourly updates and same talked the the local and foreign media. The incident involves foreign nationals and its govt prerogative to comfort and assure other foreign goverments of the situation. A high ranking HK officials did make a call to president Pinoy after the failed assault, but unfortuantely our dear president was no where to be reached. i guess his busy talking to Shalani or to a dear sister Kris..

Maybe the HK government should have call Tito Boy Abunda instead....
