Philippine Bus hostage thriller

A Philippine bus hostage thriller happened where 8 hostages, Hongkong tourists, were killed by the hostage taker, a senior inspector Mendoza, a bemedalled police officer of the Philippine National Police (PNP) who was sacked by the Ombudsman for a case involving him and his men in an alleged extortion case.

The storming of the tourist bus by the police SWAT after 14 hours of negotiation and 8 dead tourist drew commentaries, condemnation and a lot of hatred to the Philippine government (mis) handling of the hostage drama.

The Philippine National Police display their skills and wares to the world public eyes. The new government of PNoy was not yet ready to this kind of situation? How sad. After getting praises for the last relatively credible automated election, the Philippines now got flak from the world for this unprofessional police operation.

PNoy instead of smiling after his occular inspection of the incident, should show sympathy to the families of the victims and apologized to the Chinese people. PNoy should sacked the police officers and men, officials and others who made this Philippine bus hostage thriller a black eye to the new government.

The Philippine National Police should have a well trained and professional police SWAT that can handle hostage situation. The government should act swiftly and should have good negotiators.

This Philippine bus hostage thriller should not happen again and be a lesson to all who functions as protector of the people.
