The government of the Philippines finally caught-up with their dubious democratic system. If it is not this hostage incident, the Philippine government would never expose its lawless and corrupt system. Filipinos need to grow-up, you (I am a Filipino but I don't live there no more and do not intend to) have been cheated by these incompetent and corrupt politicians for many years with your eyes open. Don't sit idly, do something peacefully, tell these "PARASITE" politicians enough is enough and don’t let those innocent Chinese who were massacred by die in vain.

Now people begin to mock the entire police force. PNP is the acronym for Puro Nalang Palpak and SWAT to mean Sorry Wala Akong Training. There exists a terrible culture within law enforcement which has no respect for human lives and human dignity. The country has an inexperienced President who loves to delegate a lot (and the easiest and convenient way to do) instead of being immersed completely (micro-managing as a management style) in the affairs of the country, small or big. This whole thing of a website to get to the president is a sham; a media hype. Where was the vaunted information and communication system to get to the president quickly?

The world must not be hasty in judging the outcome of the incident. Consider the country and the people. Comparing the (Filipino) training to western knowledge and tactics in trying to minimize damages in that type of provocation will be like telling a sixth grader to stand up to college scholars. Admittedly, mistakes led to the slaughter of innocent people, but with sub-standard training and second-rate communicating ability such blunder is bound to happen. Law-enforcement officials can only employ what they knew and learned at such intense and stressful moments, which were the very basis by which decisive actions were applied in this given situation.

We should accept that we are a Mickey Mouse country, why? Nothing will happen with the investigation on what really happened during the hostage drama. Look at Ampatuan case, Ninoy, fertilizer scam, Lacson, Erap, C-5 Villar, etc etc. and the list goes on and on and on, just forget all about it, there will be a lot more scams soon to come.

It's the right and natural thing to do: mainland and Hong Kong Chinese clamoring for justice for their murdered citizens. They see it as a duty to their people to express their feelings of anger and concern not only for what had transpired already but also for the need to be reassured on what the future will be like for more Chinese tourists, that is, if they will ever venture again to visit the Islands. This must not be a time of tit-for-tat but a season of understanding to mend broken fences and rebuild stronger and meaningful relationships between two nations that are so closely related in terms of proximity and intermingling of the races.

I will try not to be accusatory here, but those numbers among us who are now "ashamed to be called or identified as Filipinos" because this latest tragedy, my question to them is: how will you feel and what will you do as a Palestinian or an Israeli if you were personally experiencing or witnessing the sight of carnage, spilled blood, and the smell of death almost on a daily basis?

There is a continued attempt by press supporters of Manila's mayor Alfredo Lim to deflect and defuse the magnitude of his deadly order, "ARESTOHIN NA YAN." Trying to split hairs, saying he meant to say "handcuff police officer 2 Gregorio Mendoza," and not arrest him. He is just as bad a former president Clinton in 1998, trying to split the meaning of "what is is." Not only did mayor Lim's order kill 8, but has also demoralized the PNP. PNP is being blamed for mayor Lim's "ARESTOHIN NA YAN." See that slithering, slippery serpentine sleek? That's a Lim-ahas.

That is true that P NOY is not to be blamed for the whole drama but there is ONE thing that he should have done right away and during the event. As a president he should have the guts and be HIGHLY ACCESSIBLE to the Chinese leaders, show up in the media and show concern RIGHT AWAY and not do it after few days. He should have invited the relatives of the victims to Malacańang and comfort them or at least show some sympathy. The family of the Mendoza's made more sense and showed more decency by inviting the victims family in their home more than ANY leader in our beloved republic. Again, when there is a major crisis the USUAL SOP of our leaders is hide/don't show up and be ready to play the blame game. What a bunch of morons!

The Phil. Bureaucracy is in the midst of transformation from previous corrupt gov't to gov't of righteousness w/ the guidance of the Creator. The people who used to play the same role refuse to change w/ the initiation of reform of the new institution. They are pampered by the old leadership who are corrupt themselves that allow the rotten ways to reign at the expense of the people . It is expected to have resistance to people who are corrupt & when the new institution try to strengthen their crooked ways, they resulted to violence. We need to support the Aquino government to succeed. I enjoined all to offer prayers for the Lord God to provide guidance; protect our last HOPE to succeed to lead our country to the horizon of progress.

With the Hong Kong police experts doing their own investigations, the other side of the coin may come out. Also, the NBI is now in charge & it only should. The incompetence shown by the police resulted in 8 tourists killed. The Chinese responded strongly in a rally attended by about 50,000 demonstrators. It's not too late for our gov't to get to the bottom of this case. This time, the whole truth & nothing but the truth should prevail. We have a lot of OFWs in Hong Kong & they might be treated badly by their employers or worst be fired. No gov't cover-ups or omissions in this investigation. Note: many of the HK marchers wore yellow ribbons & carried white flowers. It was a sad day for both Filipinos & the Chinese.

You've all read about it: PNL has been opting out entries that are not valid to a point. Pretty reasonable idea. It's okay for a Filipino to bash a fellow Filipino. Ditto for a person of another nationality to insult the Philippines and its people. So stop whining; we have no monopoly on hypocrisy and bigotry. It's alright to write a full-blown essay with a lengthy side-caveat on any given topic as long as there is validity to a point. Don't we wish we were all at the front-row seat when this actual incident took place? Second-hand information have landed people in some unpleasant places to rethink their positions..

It appears that the Mendoza brothers (both PNP) were notoriously bad, This is typical of our police force. Instead of upholding the law, they are the ones who often violate it. It was reported that Capt. Mendoza was charged with rape, robbery, & extortion. A good cop who turned out to be a criminal in the end. Why? Why is it that people with authority think they are the high, untouchable, & the mighty. It's a wake up call for the PNP to get rid of all the corrupt & bad guys in their ranks. It will be a tall order but they have to start somewhere. Now, the good cops & the bad cops are all the same in the eyes of our people. Time for the PNP to change for the good of everybody. They can't forever be crooks (the bad ones). Heads must roll.

DEO Ding Dong| In any hostage drama the first couple of hours is critical. As it drags, the abductor becomes restless, easily agitated and easily provoked and irate.The failure of the government is its inability to "read" the situation and know exactly what Mendoza wants. Moreover, the incompetent, inexperienced negotiators did not "psycho-analyze" the abductor. What were the negotiators' assessment? Were they conveyed to the SWAT commander? Were their recommendation over-ruled by Mayor Lim? Mayor Lim evidently does not want Mendoza alive and will never hesitate to give the go signal to attack. He would not earn the epithet of "Dirty Harry" during his days as police chief of Manila for nothing!

And judging on comments from people on this blogsite, there is something Aquino sycophants have in common with your Philippine-based counterparts: you're all nuts. You all need to have your heads examined if you think the Philippines is worth defending (and dying for). Ninoy is no martyr, but rather he committed 'suicide by military.' His psychological imperfection is now on full display through his offspring Noynoy and Kris.

Typical of Filipino, people often say. Too many cooks and too many curious spectators. a civilian authority giving conflicting orders. Two assault teams: military Special Forces and police SWAT Team.

Aquino's speech on the occasion of hero's day that every Filipino is a hero does not match reality. I am sure he also has the hostage taker in mind. He must also including the 'heroes' who helped rescue the survivors of a bus that plunged at the bottom of a bridge --- who during the rescue robbed the survivors of their valuables.

This recent hostage crisis is a big embarrassment for this P'noy young administration. I can only say that if Ping Lacson was in charge, this PNP recent display of stupidity will never happen. He is the only one who can instill discipline among the Patola PNP and total elimination of bad characters among our people. These are the worst elements in our society. Enrile, Angara and all the fat Tongressman will be the biggest hindrance for him becoming Pres. Now that Mendoza is fired and gone, look out for Magtibay and when he does, keep the mayor of Manila out of sight. My other choice is Joma.

The hostage taker was already 'insane' (i.e. wanting his job back after committing a crime? It's clear insanity. ). They should just have 'accepted' all his demands. I think the president is not being 'feared' by the lower ranks..

"Land of servants," this is what they call the Philippines that you love the most. Uulitin ko na kayong mga maid sa Hong Kong ay magsiuwi na sa Pinas. Mukhang aapihin kayo lalo diyan. Their government declared that there will be no increase of salary among Pilipino workers in Hong Kong just two days ago. Hindi ba ninyo nahalata iyan, mukhang pahihirapan kayo ng inyong mga amo. Nagreklamo ang isa kong kakilala, ayaw na raw niyang magtrabaho diyan, alas nueve na ng gabi, pinagmamasahe pa siya ng amo niya. Ang masasabi ko lang ay sabay sabay kayong umuwi at maghanap ng ibang bansang pamamasukan. Pinasasakitan ninyo lamang ang kapwa ninyo Pilipino.

Philippines is black listed by Chinese tourists. Well, in return they are also black listed to us. I planned to go to Beijing on my vacation next year, not anymore. We should black list them from employment of our servants. That's the only Filipinos they employ among among OFW's anyway. They call our country a "land of servants". Everytime they see Filipinas in Hong Kong park, right away they call them "servants or slaves". How do we deal with this, don't go there, mainly workers, tourist and government officials, don't buy their products." They don't need us, we don't need them. If that is what they want they will get it. Too much insults to us will be repaid by insults too.

On the video footage, I thought I saw 2-3 snipers positioned at the Quirino Grandstand. From my understanding of sniper rifles, these marksmen must be using a police sniper issued rifle instead of a military sniper rifle required normally for distance. The cartridge these snipers have as their ammo has a quick killing effect and possibly a 7.62 x 51 mm (about 3 in. bullet). If snipers engaged in indiscriminate firing to disperse a crowd, this much I have to say: what a waste of resources. Typical of government? You betcha!

Time & time again some of our police have shown what kind of thinking do they have. Not only in this fiasco have we seen the almost comical error they committed. I'm always skeptical of the ability of our SWAT...I've seen some of them wearing their uniform even when shopping. The other countries' SWATs are trained to do the dangerous job that normal police forces cant handle. Our Pinoy SWATs - some were trained to embarrass us... Next time we have crisis like this, the police might as well send the CAFGUs to do the job...they are stronger than the cap breaking the bus window who couldn't even swing the hammer..

I do believe that the Philippine government did not express neutrality in the presence of wrong because it signifies toleration of injury; it is even willing to address the snares of injustice. It's easy to complain or to demand for unending dissatisfaction, frustration & other grammatical languages of justice. But a scholar once said, "justice is our critic, not our mirror. The present administration doesn't tolerate terrorism, murder, massacre or hostage taking of innocent tourists. To condone any act of terrorism is to associate with enemies of democratic institutions.

The People Power Revolution of 1986 which toppled the authoritarian regime of Ferdinand Marcos was the inspiration for subsequent non-violent demonstrations around the world including those that ended the communist dictatorships of Eastern Europe. For a brief period, the Filipinos thought that this was a fresh start for a country once marred by massive authoritarian corruption, despotism, nepotism, political repression, and human rights violations. Sadly, we elected former actors and celebrities, the same land barons and their cronies into power. The Philippines will never be at par with the rest of the developing world unless competent politicians, government officials and technocrats are elected into office to run the country.

It's easy for people to say how great their country is, a saying here in the states during the Vietnam War went, "if you don't love it (USA) leave it". Well you Filipinos left your country and are now scattered about the world with no intention of returning. Life is better anywhere else than in the Philippines. Again if given the chance how many people would leave the PI? Here is another thing that crossed my mind, here in the states I can name hundreds of rich that give money to the help the poor. Ted Turner, Bill Gates, Neil Diamond, I can go on and on. I read the PI news watch PI TV and never once heard of a rich person helping anyone except themselves. You people won't cross the street to help a fellow Filipino. And that's another truth.

There is a saying that spiteful words could hurt one's feelings but silence could break one's heart; so along that line, let us reason out with these Hong Kong people that the Manila incident is an isolated case, mishandled badly by the police and that hijacking is a worldwide phenomenon driven either by ideology, by poverty and unstable minds. It happens in China too and no country is immune from it. Some incidents received worldwide attention while many remained unreported. I could cite one that happened in city of Xian (China) in 2008 where a man carrying an explosive hijacked 10 Australian tourists in a bus. The tourists were released but the abductor was eventually killed.

The government could have made public the whereabouts of Pnoy at the critical hour of the hostage drama. The truth was that Pnoy was at the Emerald Resto enjoying his dinner with some friends unmindful of the bloody developments in Luneta. This is an example of arrogance of power and incompetency. Lalamon lang - sa public place pa. Mga sinungaling! Tapos kung banatan si Gloria akala mo demonyo ang babae. Now, it is your turn Pnoy to be the receiving end of criticism.

But even now, no one in the cabinet is explaining what the heck are they doing at the time of the crisis! Folks, you can not afford to be lazy in that job. You guys have to be constantly on alert for possible problems. The government together with their cabinet men are being paid for by the tax payers. Do the job that you have applied for during elections. People voted for you to provide GOOD service. You guys are hired by the people. So, just like the rest of us, DO YOUR JOB. :-)

I would tell, I will be against Pilipinos in every country. I'm asking, what education level they have? What's in their mind? What attitude do they have? Why I'm saying that? Because they allowed criminal to be a ranked police officer !!!! What a shock! Even all.. Politician! Kill the reporters issue! What a country with none educated!! More lousy than African country! Bad attitude is known worldwide, even in Singapore I saw most my friends complaint about Pilipinos! But I still don't understand why Singaporean government still 'import' more Pilipinos!! I feel so stupid! Are they blind?!

Filipino Cops are the most incompetent in the world. They are corrupt, their leaders are corrupt. They are so freakishly brainless! The only way out is to nuke this God forsaken, roach-infested, sewage you call a country!

Sa tingin ko si Edward ay isang Pinoy na mahilig manood ng “wowowee” kaya paborito niya si RR. Hindi siya pinanganak sa ‘merica isa siyang Pinoy na lumaki ang ere ng mapadpad daw sa ‘merica! Yong tunay na kano alam niya ang nangyayari sa kanyang lugar! Pero itong si Edward di alam! Puro na lang Pinas ang ina-alipusta niya!

DEO Ding Dong| I love the way you talk. They stink. The forensic blunder would be compromised evidence such as people other than the members of the crime scene operatives to contaminate the evidence. The position of the victims will determine if they were (collateral damage, your words) victims of friendly fire or they died at the hands of the abductor. The bullet trajectory will ascertain that. As to your speculation that Mendoza killed himself with eight wounds in different parts of the body, is insane. It could only come only from a retarded person with a very rich imagination. Forensic science is not your cup of tea pal. Just stay with accounting where you are good at?

Ike, When I mentioned that Edward cares I followed it with a ? He cares reading most of the time about us & I believe learned the Pilipino culture only lately when he married his soso Pilipina wife and later ilalabas nya ang galit sa ating lahat. Di siya mag ba-babad dito sa forum kung wala syang interest sa atin I really would like to meet this guy para ma kutusan. I’m trying to imagine baka may katandaan na siya, ginagawa nya ang pag ali-pusta as libangan, kaya hwag kayong mahyper just consider him as your tambutso o’ labasan nang dirt na napag alaman niya sa ka kulangan nang karamihang Pilipino. Ibuga mong lahat yang frustration Mr. Polaski then looked at your Pilipina wife. She’s after all signifies the beauty or maybe the soso side of the Pinoys. She loves you dearly so as PNL.

Uber: " PNL owns this forum and I don't have any qualms in them censoring anyone's posts. I wasn't upset when they censured few of my postings with the mention of "God"..." You mean PNL censored a post coming from you? Ohh maan that's unfair. You should protest. Look at ONE UP, flooding this forum, to the point that no one reads him anymore. And PNL still allows it. Well, uber, life is unfair.

Difransan is right, why blame Filipinos? Hostages who were killed are Chinese, the Chief of Police is half Chinese, the Manila Mayor is Chinese and the President is half Chinese. Don't blame all Filipinos for these. Our leadership are mostly Chinese. Hmmm

MOCKINGMAYA| Because you have nothing but cheap words and biased opinions (often conflicting, murky, and void of substance or facts) to offer, I am not surprised at all to read what you wrote: "One Up has presented his own version of "chronology (take note of his chronology) of events on the Quirino Grandstand..." This will not express the complexity of the action or hostage taking crisis." This was not my chronology but the time line provided by an independent source or third party. If I ask a question that requires a "Yes " or "No' answer, you give me a song and dance! If I ask you to give me the history of an event, you can't give me the time line.Do you want me to repeat the Hebrew words again?

VP Binay must be one lucky guy. Had he been the DILG chief, he would have been criticized for being incommunicado and invisible during the 11 hour hostage drama. Perhaps, the outcome would just be the opposite: Mendoza would still be alive and all the hostages will all be smiling and very grateful. Binay would have negotiated better and Mendoza would have accepted the offer to have Deo and Mockingmaya instead as disposable hostages for target practice by the MPD SWAT team. Hi hi hi

ON THE LIGHTER SIDE : If Mockinmaya was the abductor instead of Mendoza in the hostage crisis at Luneta, the hijacking incident would have been resolved in a jiffy. A sling shot (Tirador) and firecrackers (instead of tear gas) would have done the job. Deo would have provided the sling shot.It would have been better if Deo was the negotiator. Tirador kasi si Deo and Mockingmaya will listen.Laking Davao yata yan at manok (ali ebon) ni Duterte. Hi hi hi

Innocently or simply by sheer stupidity, Mockingbird wrote : "President Aquino's administration must be tough: utilize the qualities of a "lion & a fox." A FOX is noted for being cunning but lacking in candor (Tagalog expression used by Deo as ngiting aso) while a LION (Richard the Lion-Hearted) as being intuitive territorial, passionate, etc. I hope you have read (which I doubt) about the Donkey, the fox and the lion in Aesop's Fable. Here is the abstract: "When a lion threatens to eat the fox and the donkey, the fox betrays his companion in an effort to rescue himself. In the end, the one who tried to keep himself out of danger was the first to be eaten." So you want Aquino to be eaten alive by the Chinese premier? BAD ADVICE.

GEORGE| There was no conspiracy here and there was no distinction if the tourist's bus was packed with American or European vacationers. With the 9/11 experience and exposure to terrorists' acts these tourists would have fought back and subdued Mendoza. The outcome would probably be different. If Deo or Mockinmaya were the negotiators, Mendoza would have killed them first for interfering with his plans. Hi hi hi

MOCKINGMAYA| Let me share this quotation in English instead of using a foreign language. I know you love to talk nonsense and use repeated lines of argument or attack. Here is my advice; ""We can do more work in the silence than we can by moving the lips and letting the mouth make a continuous noise. That interferes with our own thinking as well as with other people's. There is a stillness in a thinker's mind; there is a quietness in a thinker's presence, where even words are entirely unnecessary."--Robert Beesley In short shut the f* up!

Here we go again with this high sounding foreign words you are using which you don't even understand or could explain. Is the phrase raison d'etat French or Itlaian? Is regione di stato French or Italian? Is raison d'etat a theory of secular knowledge or is it a political ideology? What is Machiavelli's understanding of raison d'etat? Don't give me your song and dance routine of yours again. TRYING HARD TO IMPRESS TALAGA. Hoy, you can't impress me. Ewan ko lang sa iba na di nagbabasa.

Gintong Lahi: Edward is a Pinoy! He doesn’t speak like a natural born American; examine his comments, it lacks the “American slang language”! His role is primarily to bashed his former country and her people out of frustration! Compare his comments and that of Diaz they have the same mindset, full of HATES!

Diaz is displaying several address, but its not yet complete because, he still has to write Negros as his address including Hell! If you can’t locate your mentor go to Disneyland. BTW, why don't you visit 3 towns that has the same name "SAN MANUEL" in Tarlac, Pangasinan, and Isabela, in this way you will know why your parents named you MANUEL!
