Dont be so quick to comment negatively. When I saw the videos, I thought to myself this is very humiliating and I felt so ashamed. But before you comment on how poorly they acted, put yourself in that situation, what would you do? You would probably say: "Wa ko kabalo, mao bitaw naa tay police na gi train para ana" So then ask yourself, does our police have the necessary training and the heart to take a bullet for his country. Does he have enough pay or benefits to risk his life for his job? Does he have the necessary benefits, that when he dies doing his duty, his family or the loved ones he leaves behind will get taken cared of financialy? So before you comment and blame our police. Maybe you should take a look at yourself and say, hey I better start becoming a better Filipino... Heres why:
Here is the video of the Philippine Police at the Mendoza BusJacking and Hostage Taking Incident.
In my own opinion: Our Police need training. To train we need a budget. To have a good budget, there must be effective commerce. To have effective commerce, we need the intellect and the discipline. The intellect we possess must be the knowledge that whatever one does will affect each and every other person in the community----Some, right away, while others, eventually. The discipline must be that which shows consistency of this knowledge. This incident is a tragedy, but this gives us the opportunity, to show to the world that we be better and can't allow this to happen again. We can start by training ourselves, through airsoft perhaps...Not as a fighter, shooter or military man, but as a better Filipino.
Constructive comments encouraged.
