Manila Hongkong nationals hostage incident

My condolences to all victims of hostage taking in manila. For the past few days, it is really unfortunate that this happened in the philippines though it happening all over the world as it seems. So many lapses has been unfolded with the blow by blow media coverage. What did we learn from this? Why start pinpointing whose to blame? Why not instead restructure everything to comeout with a better solution next time. We have learned our lesson with this tragedy and its time for all of us work hand in hand for a proper rules and policy incase this occur again.

Why is't that media is kept on asking other personalities that deals with the hostage crisis? Did they even bother to ask themselves whether they are part of the problem? Leave the negotiation to negotiators, they were trained to do that. Are we not watching any movies that deals with this kind of scenario wherein media should know where to stop airing live telecast? Maybe criminals next time will bring small am/fm tuner just to listen where the exact location of the police that surrounds them, no need for television.

Don't even tell the President to be part of the hostage negotiation, your just encouraging criminals if you do. Leave it to the expert negotiators and everyone should cooperate and not be part of the problem as what happened here.

Don't point finger to other as more fingers were pointing towards you.

If we need to trained those guys then we should, if we need to restrain the media from covering the event then i guess its proper but please don't just pretend that media cannot have self-restrain by its own. We all have mistakes but we need to learn from it.

It's really a sad day for Philippines, amids frustration we have to move on and learned from this mistakes.
