IIRC Report on the Quirino Hostage Incident

Full PDF Report can be found here

Here's a snipet from the PDF that I find of interest. I agree on the findings that the negotiator they hired (YEBRA) was a dud!

Yebra’s explanation that Mendoza was reasonable and rationale with his dealings from
the start as the reason for not labelling him as a “mentally-deranged”hostage-taker tells
much of Yebra’s professional training, that at the most critical moment of practical
application, he throws all his training out the window and proceeded to consider a
premeditated hostage-taker as an ordinary case of a man who can be reasonably talked
to, and refuses to see the undercurrents of psychological conflicts that has driven a man
such as Mendoza to the extreme act of hostage-taking to correct the perceived injustice
done to him.
Mendoza might not have looked like the stereotype psychotic as seen in mental wards,
but Yebra’s failure to see through Mendoza and his veneer of calm and reasonable
deliberateness, despite all alarm bells ringing in Yebra’s own hostage manual and
training is, to say the least, disappointing and unprofessional.

P-NOY indeed instructed the use of SAF but the IDIOT generals didn't carry-out the instruction. They must be sanctioned on this!

During the briefing, the President gave instructions to make all resources needed at the
disposal of General Magtibay, who was the on-scene (ground) commander. The
instructions were relayed to Gen. Magtibay through Col. Medina. The President also
inquired on the intervention team. When given the assessment that the SAF was better
prepared and equipped vis-à-vis the SWAT, the President gave instructions to Usec.
Puno and Col.Medina to direct Gen.Magtibay to utilize the SAF.
General Santiago, Col. Medina and Usec. Puno gave testimony to the effect that they
relayed to Gen. Magtibay the instructions of the President to utilize the SAF if and when
an assault or intervention was to be carried out. In fact, Gen. Santiago said that he
“coached or stated the instructions of the President in the form of an Order”(to Gen.
Magtibay). This was supported by the deployment of the SAF and RMCG units to the
MPD-TOC by Gen. Santiago at around 2:30 p.m. and by informing Gen. Magtibay of
such deployment. Gen. Santiago and Col. Medina further testified that operational
control over the SAF and RMCG was placed under Gen.Magtibay.
Gen. Magtibay, on the other hand, testified that while he was informed that the SAF was
available, he did not confirm that he was “ordered”to utilize the SAF. Gen. Magtibay
further acknowledged that the information was relayed to him by Col. Medina, but he
could not recall if he was informed by Col. Medina that he was in Malacanang and that
the use of the SAF was an instruction coming from the President.
