what happen yesterday is a by product of incompetency accumulated over years of corrupt and messed-up government. the hostage taker was disgruntled of a case that happen in the previous administrations time. if ang hostages were local, would we react this way? i believe not. i didnt vote for noynoy but why blame him for what happened? we may not hear him talking about the incident but im sure he must have given directives to look into the matter.
did presidents of some other countries did the negotiations when things like this happens? no. but they have given directives, made proper channeling... if noynoy opened his mouth yesterday, it wont do anything, maybe agrreviate the sitaution more. mr mendoza was angry and that ombudsman, in return he was given somepapers and the assurance that the ombudsman will review the case personnally but does it made mr mendoza calm? no.
at this point of time, the only thing that matters in mr mendoza's mind was his family. but sad thing, the police drag them out of their house and made them accomplices instead especially his brother, not a good move! i wonder what does the person incharge tought when he gave orders to arrest his family?
bottomline: not because we happened to experience crisis, should we blame the president. there are other people and department who are best to handle the situation, and we should look up to them.
just my 2 cents. no arguement needed
