MERGED: Quirino Grandstand Hostage Crisis

[lestat1350]

---

Naa ko work nganhi sa China, mainland. Sa amoa company, naa daghan
Hong Kong (hongkeys man tawag namo ana nila), chinese malaysian ug chinese
singaporean. Sila man mga tag-as ug pwesto nganhi kay they know the dialect.
IN fact ang akoang amo kay Chinese malaysian. THis incident really made a bad
impression not just on our President but to us Filipinos invidually. Here's why..

Naghuwat mi gahapoon sa company bus para balik sa amoa dormitory, naa gyud
Niduol sa akoa unya, dili lang kay usa ra, murag 3 ka lain lain nga taw
Chinese malaysian ug Chinese singaporean. Sige pangutana kung ingon ana nalang gyud ka
incompetent ang atoa law enforcers. Honestly, i cannotlook at them straight
in the eyes and say "No". Uwaw ko kay daghan man mi ga atang sa bus, sure ko nakadungog
gyud to ang uban nga nationalities sa amoa tapad, unya uban kay "crazy" daw ang mga police
sa atoa. Ang uban nag ngisi nga mura bitaw naa sagol nga insulto...Ingnan nalang nako nga
" I feel sorry for this incident and just hopes this will never happen again".

Then i saw these pictures sa FB,nga gihimo na murag tourist spot ang crime scene sa
atoa kapulisan ug so called "CSI" nato (SOCO).

Ginoo ko, ingon ani na lang gyud kaubos ang panghuna huna sa atoa mga taw
nganha sa atoa. Uwaw gyud kaau. Naninguha intawn maayo ang uban taw nga
nang abroad para sa pamilya ug buhat maayo nga impression para sa pinas unya
ingon ani-on lang. pakita lang gyud ang ka ignorante sa atoa new breed of law
enforcers. In a hostage scenario, if you are the assaulting team, medyo para
nako mahitabo gyud fear for one's safety, you are about to take a life (worst case)
and this life will not go down without a fight. Pero ang pait ani mga pictures kay
humana ang crisis, unya gihimo nga murag tourist spot nga pwede ka basta papicture nalang
as a souvenir..unsa nalang huna hunaon sa pamilya atong namatyan ug tan aw nila sa ubang
pilipino?

Remember mumbai 2008? Where in 10 trained terrorist wrecked HAVOC
in 5 different locations? naglisud pud ang INDIAN police ato kay ill equipped
pud kaayo police force nila. Pero naa sila maayo nga sistema na set-up dayon,
In fact, nag set-up dayon sila mga roadblocks bisan puros ra handgun dala sa
uban mga pulis. Result: nacorner gyud nila ang duha ka shooters nga ni try ug
sibat gamit ang usa ka auto. Mao to nadakpan ang usa, ang usa napuruhan gyud kay
engkwentro man sa checkpoint site. Two men with AK47 vs 0.22 caliber ug 0.45 na pistol lang.

Naka ingon ko sa akoa kaugalingon, Arang arang pa ug firearms ang police nato, pero
after sa incident sa Quirino, layo ra gihapon ta sa diskarte bisan arang ta sa uban
nasud....

Hinaut nga mag bag-o na unta nganha sa atoa, Ug dili unta mo generate ug hatred and
discrimination ning hitaboa sa tagsa-tagsa ka Pilipino bisan asa nga nasud.

so the media particularly the 2 media outlets who are ratinghugger(i dont know the term) clearly violates the rule. they should be held accountable on their acts.

its all about the ratings and the dum dum du de dum dums

The media are reason why the situation escalated. They only care about the RATINGS not the lives of the hostages. I don't know if I should laugh or feel sad about this.

Anyways, Philippines is now screwed - or should I call the country, Failippines? Hmmm... Our tourism is now getting a bad rep and I wouldn't be surprised if most countries will not allow its citizens to come to the Failippines because of what happened at Quirino Grandstand where the Manila's SWAT Team (supposedly one of the best special operation unit in the country) did an EPIC FAIL on the hostage situation. Abomination!

for me it's all about training..training...training. the local airsoft group has more training than them. they play this war games every weekends and sometimes they even go to other places just to play war games. i'm not saying they're better than the PNP cause nothing beats dealing with live bullets. what i'm saying is training doesn't stop with 1 or 2 sessions. equipment is vital but if we don't have that, we could always adapt and improvise with what we have. physical and mental readiness is very impt. i'm not saying the PNP should take bullets, but courage and expertise are crucial and are assets that an assault team must posses for them able to come out safe in a fire fight. every move counts and confidence are a major factor. being not ready, placed in any endeavor will definitely result to a failure.

and another thing, total control of the situation is also an impt. factor. it means control of media, civilians, fellow police, negotiators, and other entities that needs to be controlled.

i myself have encountered several fire figths and it's really scary. but when you know what to do, it gives you courage and confidence to survive. i'm not a military man, my family is involved in politics in mindanao and me and my cousins undergo training of different sorts just to prepare us of some sort in case sh*t happens. and honestly, sh*t happens when you least expect it. i lost a cousin and uncle in such but we never gave up and always are on our toes just in case.

I wrote this earlier today:

Foreigners will never visit Failippines after the incident. So obvious!! Also, OFWs in Hong-Kong will be treated as lepers and will be a target of hatred by the HONK-kongers. Hahayzz...

Serendipity? Hmmm... Expect hatred from the HONK-kongers from now on.
