As i watched the news last night and watching those police and SWAT team in the hostage process i think they need more training for that kind of scenario
actually it wont really happen if the negotiators or someone in higher rank act fast. there has a lot of casualties especially when police arrest the brother
of the hostage taker (dismissed Senior Inspector Rolando Mendoza) in which Mendoza sees what the police did to his brother so that is the time he try to be violent
with his hostages. that is one of the big mistake of the Police. I think they are just train to kill and not to negotiate.
Mendoza was thought to have fired warning shots anew as he saw his brother, Senior Police Officer 2 Gregorio Mendoza and a young man said to be Rolando’s son, being hauled away by police.
negotiations.
Tulfo entered the cordoned area after Mendoza posted another message on the bus that said, "Media now."
Tulfo was briefed by the police about the situation.
Mendoza posted the "Media now" message some 30 minutes after 3 p.m., the hour by which police negotiators and media were expecting something to happen following a message from Mendoza that stated "Big deal will start after 3 p.m. today."
Earlier in the day, Mendoza posted the message: "Big mistake to correct a big wrong decision.
It was not clear what the armalite-wielding hostage-taker exactly meant by these messages, as police negotiators continued to work to convince Mendoza to let the hostages go.
Mendoza was relieved from his post as chief of the Mobile Patrol Unit in 2008 for his alleged involvement in drug-related crimes and extortion, and was demanding to be reinstated, police said.
Mendoza, who has reaped awards for his work in the police service, was protesting his dismissal early this year for allegedly forcing a hotel chef to swallow shabu (methamphetamine hydrochloride) and for allegedly attempting to extort P20,000 from him during interrogation. Mendoza has denied the charges and has filed an appeal with the Ombudsman.
At past 6 p.m., a single gunshot was heard coming from the bus. Reporters on the scene learned that Mendoza fired a warning shot after rejecting a letter from the Office of the Ombudsman that informed him that he could not be reinstated but nonetheless assured him that his case would be reviewed.
Her 18-year-old son was in intensive care in hospital and her husband died a hero trying to shield his family, said the survivor, identifying herself only as Mrs Leung.
"The Philippine government... I can't accept this. Why did they do this to us?" she told Hong Kong officials who flew to the Manila hospital, in comments shown on Cable News TV.
"(The gunman) did not want to kill us. He only shot us after the negotiations failed," she said, sobbing.
The Standard said Philippine authorities must be held to account.
"What went so terribly wrong?" the English-language daily said.
"What did the gunman tell police during the negotiations? What was the response from the police? The Hong Kong government must also demand that Manila provide answers for the many questions."
But while Manila police defended their actions, Hong Kong leader Tsang complained that he had been unable all Monday to reach Philippine President Benigno Aquino.
Death toll from hostage crisis rises to 10
The Statement of the Chinese Government on Philippine Hostage Crisis The Chinese Government strongly condemns the atrocity by the hostage-taker, expresses grave condolences to the victimized Hong Kong compatriots and conveys profound sympathy to the bereaved families.
For more than 11 hours Monday, Mendoza attracted international attention by holding hostage at least 15 tourists from Hong Kong hostage
Mendoza, interviewed on Radio Mindanao Network shortly before he was killed Monday evening, had said he was ready to die.
He even warned snipers in the area he would not hesitate to “execute" hostages if authorities won’t heed to his demands.
"Handa ako mamatay ngayong araw na ito... Yung mga sniper pag di sila umalis sa kanilang pwesto ay
sasampolan ko sila," he said.

Hostage Taking in Quirino Grand Stand
This somewhat connected to the hostage taking incident last August 23. kindly read and this might be the reason why Mr. Mendoza Did the hostage taking. i do not know why police like that i do not know what they train before.
THANKS FOR THE E MAIL. I’D LIKE TO TELL YOU MY SON’S EXPERIENCE WITH THE MANILA POLICE LAST WEDNESDAY EVENING AT ABOUT 10PM.
CHRISTIAN WENT TO THE CONDO AT THE CORNER OF VITO CRUZ AND TAFT AVE. TO RETURN HIS COUSIN’S LAPTOP. HE HANDED THE LAPTOP TO HIS COUSIN AND WENT BACK TO THE CAR. WHEN HE GOT TO THE CAR, THERE WAS A COP WHO ASKED HIM WHAT HE WAS DOING THERE; WHY HE WAS PARKED ON A NO PARKING AREA. CHRISTIAN SAID, IF IT WERE A NO PARKING AREA WHY IS IT THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF CARS PARKED.
THE COP TOLD HIM TO OPEN HIS TRUNK AND CHRIS ASKED, WHY? DO YOU HAVE A WARRANT? ANYWAY, THE CAR DOORS AND WINDOWS WERE OPEN AND ANOTHER COP SEARCHED THE INTERIOR WHILE ANOTHER OPENED THE TRUNK.
IN THE TOOLBOX THEY FOUND THE PLASTIC END OF SPARK PLUGS. THE COP SAID IT WAS A PARAPHARNALIA. THE SAME COP BROUGHT TO THE TRUNK USED PLASTIC SACHETS OF SHABU AND STARTED TO SHOUT ‘DRUGS ‘TO!’, ‘DRUGS!’
SO THEY TOOK CHRISTIAN, TO THE ATM OF BPI. THEY SAW HIS CARD AND ASKED HIM TO WITHDRAW ALL HIS MONEY. FORTUNATELY HE DOES NOT KEEP HIS MONEY THERE. ONLY HIS SALARY IS DEPOSITED THERE. SO THE COPS WE INSISTED THAT HE WAS A DRUG USER. AND MY SON WAS SAYING DO A TEST NOW SO THEY’LL SEE IF HE’S POSITIVE. HE SAID I CAN’T WORK IN MANDARIN AS A CHEF IF I’M A DRUG USER. HE SAID HE HAD TO GET POLICE, NBI, BARANGAY, COURT AND MEDICAL CLEARANCE BEFORE HE COULD START WORKING.
THEN THE POLICE TOOK HIM TO POLICE HEAD-QUARTERS AT UN AVE. AND THERE FORCED HIM TO EAT SHABU. IT TOOK A WHILE BEFORE HE ATE IT. SIX COPS WERE PUNCHING HIM AND SCARING HIM WITH THEIR GUNS UNTIL THE POOR GUY PEED IN HIS PANTS OUT OF FEAR. HE HAD TO SWALLOW THE DRUG. THEN THE COPS STARTED TO LAUGH. NOW WE’LL SEE IF YOU ARE NEGATIVE OF SHABU. ’200,000PHP AND WE’LL LET YOU GO OR THIS WILL BE AT THE FISCALS OFFICE IN THE MORNING. CALL YOUR FRIENDS AND PARENTS.
THIS ORDEAL STARTED AT 10PM. HE WAS ABLE TO CALL ME AT 5AM THE FOLLOWING DAY. POOR SON OF MINE WAS REALLY TRAUMATIZED. A FRIEND OF HIS CAME WITH TWENTY THOUSAND THE COPS GRABBED IT AND LET HIM GO AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED.
I WAS IN LIPA ALL THE TIME THIS WAS HAPPENING. CHRIS LATER FOUND OUT FROM HIS COUSIN THAT SEVEN OF HER FRIENDS WERE ALSO APPREHENDED BY THE SAME GROUP OF COPS AND ALSO TOOK THEM TO THEIR ATM’S. THEY GOT ALL THEIR MONEY IN THE ACCOUNT. THIS COP IS CAPT.MENDOZA OF THE MOBIL GROUP AND SARGENT GAVINO. IF YOU GUYS KNOW INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE IN THE SERVICE, PLEASE LET THEM KNOW ABOUT THIS. I WOULD ALSO LIKE FOR THEM TO RETURN THE MONEY THEY TOOK FROM MY SON SO HE COULD GIVE IT BACK TO HIS FRIEND.
THE MORE PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THIS SO CALLED POLICE OFFICERS THE BETTER. THIS IS THE TYPE OF GOVERNMENT THAT WE HAVE NOW. DISARM THE POPULATION AND THIS TYPE OF ABUSE HAPPENS. THANKS AND PASS IT ON. BOB

Who think ahead of their time - quote by Swami Vivekananda
"Each work has to pass through these stages — ridicule, opposition, and then acceptance.
Those who think ahead of their time are sure to be misunderstood."
