MERGED: Quirino Grandstand Hostage Crisis

[Sarevok]

---

My comment is in reference to the demeanor of our President dili ang leader sa HongKong..daghan man ta pwede icomment, nagkataon lang ako comment about sa ato president.

And akong purpose sa pagmention sa leader sa Hongkong is to compare. Why can't PNoy act like he was sorry for the victims? bisag act lang gud para makita sa mga biktima na gaworry sad siya. Try to watch his presscon again and see if you can find some trace of sympathy sa iyang nawong. Mura man ug walay paki sa nahitabo na nuon.

Postcripts To A BloodBath

Mr. Mendoza was already upset even before he saw on television what the policemen did to his brother. The other tourists who remained inside the bus were complaining. Wei Ji Jiang wanted to go to the bathroom. Dao Chi Yu was hungry and the rest were just groaning and whining like they have forgotten that our lives rest in Mr. Mendoza's hands.

The hostage taker, as you know him was really nice. He treated us okay and even let the elders and the children leave the bus. He said your policemen treated him unfairly. He was a policeman too and was accused of doing something he had no knowledge of. But your government didn't listen so he used us to get everyone's attention.

Things would have never turned for the worst if he didn't see how his family was dragged out of their house and taken into custody. He was watching the news all the time as we huddled around each other behind the bus. He shouted some words in your language then started shooting in the air. A girl about my age started screaming. Mr. Mendoza demanded her to stop but she didn't understand English. God, he had to slash her neck with a knife just to put her to rest. Her boyfriend who tried to hit him was shot in the head.

Tension was rising. You can see in his face how scared and confused he was. The bus driver ran away leaving him alone with strangers from a distant land. I can see him walking across the aisle, sometimes pointing his machine gun to one of the tourists. But he tried his best not to hurt us, especially those who really cooperate.

I guess its in your nature not to inflict pain on others unless it was necessary. I remember him saying that he will free us before sundown and implored us to forget everything when we return home. But his words don't matter now. The policemen were trying to force their way in, while we all lied down to shield ourselves from bullets. Mister Mendoza blindly shoots at his enemies which I think kept them from rescuing us. I hear sobs under the chairs. Some were even shouting the names of their loved ones even when the air merely eat their words. Kevin Tang tried to escape when the glass door was was shattered, but one shot and he slumped on the floor with blood gushing from his mouth.

Heavy rain pitter-pattered on the rooftop. In old Chinese saying, it means an end to a struggle. Finally, somebody was able to open the escape hatch at the back of the bus. Freedom. But I knew Mister Mendoza was still alive. I knew he was just waiting for a chance to strike back at his enemies. So I told those around me not to escape. Let the authorities come for us instead. Then there was gunfire. He was firing at his enemies with a machine gun. Those who were at the escape hatch fled abandoning us once again. It's like a nightmare with no end and to wake up means a certain death. Then somebody from outside the bus threw a canister. It forced out a black smoke that is so painful to the eyes and putrid smelling to the nose. People started screaming. We cannot breathe. Some ran in front of the bus but Mister Mendoza warned them of stray bullets. It was too late. One was hit on the head, the other was hit on the shoulders. Bullets were now flying. Its like the authorities thought we were all dead. Mister Mendoza finally admits his mistake and said sorry to everyone, dead or alive. He then ran towards the front of the bus where he would meet his maker. As he passed by my chair with bullets whistling overhead, I clutched my hand on the velvet curtain and wrapped it around my face. All I could think of was to stay alive - for my child who is waiting for me back in Xinjang. I know I will survive,

I will come home.

Sos! kun hingabot pa ang eleksyon...sos magbaha jud ang mga politiko didto sa Quirino grandstand para magpa sikat....pero gabee...bisan anino..wala jud...katong mga senador nga mga proma lang ga ayo..pweh! unsaon naman intawn ang atong pinalangang pinas..HOY MGA POLITIKO...pasikat unta mo gahapon..si bong revilla og jingoy unta gipa negotiate...maayo kaayo sa salida gud...PAKA ULAW mo mga senador!

Dili na ta mo expect nga naay politico mongadto. Mana og ang eleksyon, Galoslos lang nang mga aksyon star diha. Walay mabuhat.

Himala pa dyud si Incoming CHR chair Eta Rosales wala gibasol ang gobyerno gahapon. Pag niaging admin pani dali kaayo magpaenterbyu sa media nya basolon dayon si Arroyo.

srsly?

Police Chief + with Gunz + Hostage - Not intending to die!? not intending to kill anyone?
oh come on! He is a disgrace to this country, simply by being a police officer (and a chief), who swore to protect the civilians, and what have he done!?
1. hostage
2. demand like a terrorist
3. shoot/killed the hostage

he's a police officer to begin with.

im not siding with the police either, i agree with the statements above that the people handling this case were incompetent. so... stupid. it highlighted many flaws on how PNP is handling hostage crisis.


p.s. i do feel that police officers does not want to shoot their fellow officers, they were not expecting this to happen because he is a police officer not a criminal. if this was someone else, he would be dead in few minutes.

This event sounds a lot like the events on the hostage crisis in Munich.

Try to watch his presscon again and see if you can find some trace of sympathy sa iyang nawong. Mura man ug walay paki sa nahitabo na nuon.

i will disagree sa imo comment. I've watched the presscon, i actually feel na he was upset na ang outcome is ato ang nahitabo. Dili lang makita pero sa iya mga gisulti.

mag taas ta ani, Okay imo ng observation. I'll respect that, but I'll keep my observation too. I feel his sincerity sa iya mga gisulti.

wala man to script, Sir. Live man to siya kadlawon ako gilantaw. Nag ask man mga media directly sa iya, iya answer ug unsa pud iya na feel. Early morning naka tutok pa siya sa mga events, the police head even went to the palace to brief him sa mga nahitabo.

kay ang huna huna ni PNoy kay puro lang paggukod sa anomaliya ni GMA kay mao lagi, transparent government. yeah! there's goes the transparency, kita gyud sa tibuok kalibutan ang palpak nga security sa pilipinas. now, what would other countries think about the philippines? tourism will go down, investments will go down all because of the incompetence of the PNP and SWAT? WTF!!
