The hostage drama in Manila started when the former police officer Rolando Mendoza, who lost his job in 2009, stepped into the Hong Thai tourist bus loaded with Hong Kong Chinese nationals. His demand was restoration of his job and benefits.
It is so sad that this tragedy injured and killed some Hong Kong Chinese nationals, left a bitter taste to the Filipinos, a peace-loving people.
Where did we go wrong? Could the media have contributed to the gruesome outcome? Did the policemen and the swat team handle the situation well?
Everybody should have prayed! There is no greater power than the power of God!
