The latest incident in the Manila incident has caused much grief. I do believe that the man who took hostage of the tourists never meant for death to happen. He really wanted his job back, he was that desperate. The Philippines police did not handle the issue well either. Who the SHIT takes the fella's brother as a HOSTAGE so as to make him free the hostages? That's cheap. They even broadcast the entire tragedy LIVE on TV.
As much as the fella was at fault for taking people as hostages, I believe that the Philippine government has a lot to answer to for their lack of appropriate action that caused the loss of 8 innocent lives, with 7 injured. My heart goes out to the families and loved ones of the deceased, and that the injured may recover.
