LAST MONDAY, I WAS ONE OF THE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD WHO WATCHED IN SHOCK AND TERROR AS THE NEWS WAS COVERING THE QUIRINO HOSTAGE CRISIS.
How can someone do something so inhumane to begin with? And even ending it by doing something way more inhumane(Massacre in the bus: 8 dead in total). SI ROLANDO MENDOZA TALAGA. >:|
A lot of people were blaming the Police and how they handled it. Yeah, they probably share the blame, too. P-Noy was blaming the media. Ahem, at some point tumulong din sila but he pinned a fault pa rin to them. But the person to blame is definitely ROLANDO MENDOZA. If he didn't do this in the first place, will all this happen? But you cannot turn back what just happened no matter how horrible it was. Some English Psychologist guested on CNN the other day and blamed LOW EDUCATION(aba, lahat na binibintangan. XDD) but it did make sense. If Rolando just had a different mindset about him losing his job, like he'll say to himself he'll be able to go back to his feet someday, he wouldn't even dare think of this. But English Psychologist Dude said also that since LOW EDUCATION nga, probably police work is all Rolando can do(and he did that for more than 20 years).
Rolando Mendoza, Media, SWAT, LOW EDUCATION(?!)....seems like a lot of people are blaming these days. Let's not forget some sort of injustice was allegedly made against Mendoza. The Media sorta helped in a good way but also in a bad way, too. The SWAT reminded me of watching a bad play(especially when they positioned outside the bus. PRICELESS!) but I know they did all they can, but they should've improved in LOTS of areas. I won't get started on Low Education as it was just dragged in by English Psychologist dude.
But after the Hostage crisis ended, way more problems ensued: Distrust from China and Hongkong to our country; The race issue(After one Chinese Employer fired a Pinay after the Employer watched the Hostage Crisis); FUTURE OF OUR TOURISM among others.
This is what I want to say: WE PINOYS AREN'T HORRIBLE. Probably it was horrible that this happened. Probably it was horrible too that some people here are showing insensitivity( Like those peeps who take pictures of themselves with the bus where the tragedy has happened). Probably there are times we looked like pieces of shit(Usisero! Lumalapit kahit hindi naman puede). BUT WE FEEL AS HORRIBLE AS EVERYONE ELSE IS OVER THE SITUATION. Porket ka-lahi namin yung nagpatay we're also like that. HE STILL DID SOMETHING AGAINST THE BIBLE(Most Filipinos believe in the bible) AND THAT WAS KILLING. We are deeply sorry. This is an ISOLATED CASE. This could happen EVERYWHERE, not just the PI. Now we're as dangerous to travel to as IRAQ and PAKISTAN(According to the eyes of Hong Kong).
It's great to see people from other countries saying that this was an Isolated Case. And it's great, too, that people from other countries are saying they don't hate. Jackie Chan, Andrew Philip(The sweet Canadian Boy on the EQUALITY video I watched on Youtube) among millions around the world, thanks for your very kind words. :D. I also admire the Filipinos who have the guts to say to the world that we are still a great country(Letter of a Filipino Boy to The World's Regino Jose Dilao, you are awesome). This case won't be one that could be easily forgotten, but I hope the greatness of this country before tragedy struck won't be easily forgotten either. The Philippines is still a great country, after all.
