MERGED: Quirino Grandstand Hostage Crisis

[darkwing]

---

our commander in chief doesnt deserve to be one..

i guess he was just watching the incident from the television all throughout the crisis... ..

not even a word came from him during the hostage crisis!.. .

think we'll be suffering with a coward president the next years...

i guess you didn't see the presscon around 1pm during that day, he already entrusted the PNP and other related authorities to solve the situation, i guess he should lead the negotiations every time there is a hostage incident, dapat mag training nalang siya of being a negotiator at the same time as a SWAT member

[keyran]

what Mendoza did was a great shame to the country. ..

PNoy on the other hand did nothing. ..and is ANOTHER SHAME to the leader of the country...

what mendoza did is a overview of the reality that our justice system sucks...thats it sucks.....
i pety mr. mendoza i do believe he is a good man with his performance...

and sucks..i blame it all the the manila police negotiator....bogo kaayo... maayong i terminate na silang tanan..walay ayo..........

the media should look at this too!!!
Guidelines for Covering Hostage-Taking Crises, Prison Uprisings, Terrorist Actions

In covering a developing raid or law enforcement action, journalists are advised to:

Be extremely cautious to not compromise the secrecy of officials' planning and execution. If staking out a location where a raid will occur or if accompanying officers, reporters, and photographers should demonstrate great caution in how they act, where they go, and what clues they might inadvertently give that might compromise the execution of the raid. They should check and double-check planning efforts.

In covering an ongoing crisis situation, journalists are advised to:

Always assume that the hostage taker, gunman, or terrorist has access to the reporting.

Avoid describing with words or showing with still photography and video any information that could divulge the tactics or positions of SWAT team members.
Media broadcasted LIVE the positions and the movement of the police!!! FAIL!!!

Fight the urge to become a player in any standoff, hostage situation, or terrorist incident. Journalists should become personally involved only as a last resort and with the explicit approval of top news management and the consultation of trained hostage negotiators on the scene.

Be forthright with viewers, listeners, or readers about why certain information is being withheld if security reasons are involved.
Okay lang kuno ingon government! Walay news blackout kay basin kuno ingnon naay censorship! Ka bogo gyud!!!

Seriously weigh the benefits to the public of what information might be given out versus what potential harm that information might cause. This is especially important in live reporting of an ongoing situation.
EPIC FAIL ang live coverage sa arrest sa brother ni Mendoza!!!

Strongly resist the temptation to telephone a gunman or hostage taker. Journalists generally are not trained in negotiation techniques, and one wrong question or inappropriate word could jeopardize someone's life. Furthermore, just calling in could tie up phone lines or otherwise complicate communication efforts of the negotiators.

Notify authorities immediately if a hostage taker or terrorist calls the newsroom. Also, have a plan ready for how to respond.

Challenge any gut reaction to "go live" from the scene of a hostage-taking crisis, unless there are strong journalistic reasons for a live, on-the-scene report. Things can go wrong very quickly in a live report, endangering lives or damaging negotiations. Furthermore, ask if the value of a live, on-the-scene report is really justifiable compared to the harm that could occur.
EPIC FAIL AGAIN!!! Nagpanindotay ug coverage para sa ratings!!! Paksit lagi!!!

Give no information, factual or speculative, about a hostage taker's mental condition, state of mind, or reasons for actions while a standoff is in progress. The value of such information to the audience is limited, and the possibility of such characterizations exacerbating an already dangerous situation are quite real.

Give no analyses or comments on a hostage taker's or terrorist's demands. As bizarre or ridiculous (or even legitimate) as such demands may be, it is important that negotiators take all demands seriously.

Keep news helicopters out of the area where the standoff is happening, as their noise can create communications problems for negotiators and their presence could scare a gunman to deadly action.

Do not report information obtained from police scanners. If law enforcement personnel and negotiators are compromised in their communications, their attempts to resolve a crisis are greatly complicated.

Be very cautious in any reporting on the medical condition of hostages until after a crisis is concluded. Also, be cautious when interviewing hostages or released hostages while a crisis continues.

Exercise care when interviewing family members or friends of those involved in standoff situations. Make sure the interview legitimately advances the story for the public and is not simply conducted for the shock value of the emotions conveyed or as a conduit for the interviewee to transmit messages to specific individuals.
FAIL!!! Philippine broadcast media pa imo! Shock value ang tirada! Para taas ratings! Pastilan!!!

Go beyond the basic story of the hostage taking or standoff to report on the larger issues behind the story, be it the how and why of what happened, reports on the preparation and execution of the SWAT team, or the issues related to the incident.

actly wlay labut c PNOY atu or bsag kinsa na politician or any outside the police organization..bsag ang mga military wla silay labut....on negotiation , maau kaau ang mga police of exercising the rules of engagement ( hope saktu q ani )

[icreations]

At least man lang unta gipa-feel niya nga naa gyud siya (noy).. nga visible gyud siya and ni-release unta siya'g statement like "trying our best", "under control" or something to that effect or kanang mga updates kung unsa nga measures ilang gi-take.. At least man lang maka-feel ang relatives sa katong held hostage nga naa gyud ta'y gibuhat. I think IF relative ko sa katong na-hostage, ma-relieve ko'g bisan gamay lang kaau, knowing that mismo ang president na sa country ang ni-assure nako nga naa gyud sila'y gibuhat..

PNoy could have directed the police to back off and let SAF do the negotiations and/or assault! nganong mga Manila's Funniest man gipa assault na poorly trained man kaayo? Nagpakitang gilas na pud?

[AmorsoloX]

sa nag-post sa question and answer.. tnx.. it shows a lot about the president..

he really is ab-NOY.... contradicting man iya gisulti about sa media blackout... though i understand his position.. clearly hadlok cya makontra ang media.. am not really impressed with his choice of words and the manner nya gi deliver.. murag tanga kaau cya sa nahitabo..

2nd... my guess is right... mo tago jud cya sa palda sa iya mama.. he said "nung panahon ng mama ko...".. tsk tsk tsk.. the country's oldest baby.. WTF... then he insinuated that because of mismanagement of previous administration thats why kulang budget para sa pulis....

as expected of your beloved ab-NOY
