An investigation into last month's deadly hostage crisis in Manila has revealed serious flaws in the police response. Two weeks after eight Hong Kong tourists were killed during a botched rescue attempt, Orlando Yerbb testified to an inter-agency panel regarding police preparedness and miscommunication during the siege. He was the chief negotiator on the scene that day. [Lieutenatn Colonel Orlando Yerba, Lead Negociator]: "Without me knowing that it was indeed ordered, or without me hearing that the order was given, I just saw the SWAT running towards the bus. So I knew there was the order for an assault." The panel has discovered that no psychologist was present to help assess the hostage-taker, Rolando Mendoza, who was a disgruntled ex police officer recently fired from service. Also testifying was Mendoza's brother, Gregorio Mendoza, who was found to have a gun when approaching the bus where the hostages were being held.

The Manila hostage crisis also called 8/23 Manila hostage taking occurred when a dismissed Philippine National Police officer took over a tour bus in Rizal Park, Manila, Philippines on August 23, 2010. Disgruntled former senior inspector (equivalent military rank: captain) Rolando Mendoza, from the Manila Police District (MPD) hijacked a tour bus carrying 25 tourists from Hong Kong in an attempt to get his job back.[3] He said that he was summarily dismissed without the opportunity to properly defend himself, and that all he wanted was a fair hearing.[4] As a result of the ten-hour siege, the ensuing shoot-out, and a botched rescue attempt by MPD watched by millions on live television news, eight of the hostages and Mendoza died and nine other people were injured. The Hong Kong Government then immediately issued a top-level 'black' travel alert for the Philippines.[5] The assault on the tour bus to rescue the hostages was widely regarded by pundits at home and abroad as 'bungled' and 'incompetent'; the Philippine government also admitted that errors had been made and promised a thorough investigation, which they would report to the Chinese government. en.wikipedia.org www.bbc.co.uk ph.news.yahoo.com

Philippine commandos have stormed the bus with 15 Chinese tourists held hostage by a former policeman, ending the 11-hour standoff in Manila. Eight of the hostages have been confirmed dead. The gunman has also been killed in the storming. The operation started with police firing on the bus' tires to immobilize it, then using hammers to smash windows, doors and windscreen. They were forced to withdraw after a series of hunshots rang out from inside the vehicle, but renewed the storming later.

I would like to share this patriotic letter from a young man Reigno Jose Dilao. He is a teenager, a student, and a Filipino who has a big heart for his country. August 23, 2010 "A letter from a teenage Filipino to the WHOLE WORLD" As you are reading this letter, I bet that you have seen/heard about what happened earlier in our country. Tourists were hostages of a policeman here, Rolando Mendoza. After a few hours of the horrible crime, some of the victims were dead including the hostage-taker. I wrote this letter not just to apologize but also to let everyone know that we Filipinos are not all like Mendoza. We are loving and good-hearted people. For so many years, our country has been standing tall and surpassing every dilemma; be it small or big. Years ago (back when I wasn't born yet), you have watched us fight for what we think is right. We fought for the democracy of our nation.. The EDSA revolution. But that's just one out of many. Second. We Filipinos have been serving other countries for our families and we treat you as our own as well. With all due respect, I thank you all for giving us the trust through the years. For helping us to become what we are now. The Philippines is more than just a group of islands. We are a nation of strong and remarkable people. A country of beauty and love known to be hospitable and well-valued. I humbly apologize for what happened tonight. No one in this world would want something like that to happen for life should be valued. I ...

Philippines Manila Hostage Crisis Attacks A Tourist Bus with Hong konger tourists was hijacked by a former Police Officer Rolando Mendoz . Hong kong people must be careful about this incident ! This is a drama of a job to come back .Rolando Mendoza Suicide . Warning : This is clip from russia today,abs cbn and gma so I do not own any of this video.
I received several messages from Filipino friends and they are devastated about the hostage taking that happened in their country.
This tragedy should give our police authorities a handful of lessons. How can we attract more tourists to come to our country if some of our police officers are torturers and non-respecters of people's rights? How can we attract more foreign investors if some people in the police force and in the government sector are the ones who blatantly violate the law and shamelessly abuse their position? Our police force should save its face by showing that its members are not only good at extortion, torture, or any other illegal activities. The only role of the police is to protect us against criminals. This bloody incident that resulted in the loss of several lives could have been prevented had the government established a strong rule of law. The hostage-taker should have been jailed for violating the rights of a citizen a couple of years ago. We need a strong rule of law to punish those who abuse their public position and to prevent any similar incident from happening in the future. If our police force could no longer protect us, then we all have the moral responsibility to arm ourselves. SOURCE: fvdb.wordpress.com

newsinfo.inquirer.net Students give Aquino a lift but bishop says he failed 'first trial' By Philip Tubeza, Norman Bordadora Philippine Daily Inquirer First Posted 02:44:00 08/27/2010 Filed Under: Grandstand Hostage, hostage taking, Benigno Aquino III, Police MANILA, Philippines—Students in Mandaluyong gave him a lift with a song but in the eyes of a Roman Catholic bishop, President Benigno Aquino III failed in his "first trial" as a leader for not being a hands-on manager during Monday's hostage crisis at Manila's Rizal Park. Interviewed on Radio Veritas, Cotabato Auxiliary Bishop Jose Colin Bagaforo said: "Where (was) the President? Where was the Secretary of Local Government? Where was (Philippine National Police Director General Jesus) Verzosa?" "It was really mishandled. We became the laughingstock of the international community. Our police forces, they seemingly don't know what to do," Bagaforo said, according to a transcript of the interview obtained from the Church-run radio. He said the issue was one of "command responsibility." Asked if he believed Mr. Aquino failed in his "first trial" of leadership, the bishop said: "Yes, I believe in that, in a sense that the presence of our President was not seen. His leadership was not shown in this kind of situation." Bagaforo said Mr. Aquino should have shown he was "on top of the situation," especially since the hostage crisis involved foreign nationals. Wake-up call "I would also expect government to be awakened that ...

Gloria Arroyo of Pampanga has written a letter to top officials of Hong Kong and China to convey her condolences to the families of the eight Hong Kong tourists killed during Monday's hostage-taking at the Quirino Grandstand. "In strongest terms, I condemn this brutal slaying which has stirred outrage and has caused much pain to the Chinese nation. I will closely follow the government's conduct of investigation into this tragic incident that would determine possible culpability on the part of the authorities," she said in her letter to Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao dated August 26. "It was a senseless and reprehensible act of brutality that deserves nothing but strong condemnation. I wish to convey my profound condolences to you and the people of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, especially to the families of your compatriots who met their tragic death during the hostage-taking in Manila," Mrs. Arroyo said in her letter Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Chief Executive Donald Tsang also dated August 26. Elena Bautista-Horn, the spokesman of the former president, said that Mrs. Arroyo has shown her focus on saving even a single life citing as an example the decision of the government in 2004 to pull out troops from Iraq just to save the life of Angelo dela Cruz. Dela Cruz, a truck driver, was abducted and was threatened to be beheaded by his Iraqi captors unless ...

More lapses in hostage crisis cited By Leilani Chavez, abs-cbnNEWS.com Posted at 08/27/2010 11:27 AM | Updated as of 08/27/2010 11:53 AM MANILA, Philippines - If the Manila hostage tragedy caught the attention of foreign security analysts on the need to improve police training and equipment, a former director of the Philippine National Police-Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (PNP-CIDG) noticed other key lapses such as failure to establish an isolation line and the absence of a designated officer to deal with media. Antipolo Rep. Romeo Acop told ANC's "Headstart" on Thursday that the police operations team broke some procedural rules, which were still in place when he was PNP-CIDG head. He also agreed with most of the points raised by security analyst Charles Shoebridge in an article published by BBC. (Click here for article.) He disagreed, however, that the Manila Police District's (MPD) Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) personnel lacked "determination." Acop said SWAT officials had a hard time dealing with hostage-taker Rolando Mendoza because of lack of necessary equipment. "I do not agree with that (determination). Kung titignan mo yung pangyayari, ang dala na lang nila yung tapang nila, eh. You must remember that the hostage-taker is armed and some of the SWAT members have no bullet-proof vests," he added. Acop listed down the procedural lapses committed by police during the hostage rescue fiasco: 1. Failure to establish isolation line Acop said one of the ...
