There are four things I want to say about the hostage situation yesterday at the Quirino Grandstand.
1. Former Senior Police Inspector Rolando Mendoza should have been put in jail for hulidap instead of dismissed from the service. I always wonder why most scalawag policemen are merely transferred or dismissed when they are found guilty of abusing their position. Mendoza’s bloody caper shows us how we are unleashing these scalawags to do more harm.
2. The bloody aftermath of the hostage situation shows live to the whole world how lousy our elite police units handle hostage situations. Amateur airsoft groups in Cebu could have done a better job.
3. The bloody hostage situation victimized tourists from Hong Kong — at least seven died — of sending out the message in dramatic fashion that tourists are not safe even in the busy streets of Manila, not just in the jungles of Basilan.
4. The whole incident convinced me all the more: Bulay-og gyud diay ang atong kapulisan.

Can anyone ask themselves WHY DID MENDOZA DO IT? Well, deep, highly-critical political analysis is easier. Because political analysis are all based on tsismis.
Simplest of question is WHY DID MENDOZA DO IT? Why did he think he can force back his job? He must be innocent if he went to extreme to clear his name? Is there out there listening? Are there deep politically analyzing peryodistas analyze and look into Mendoza’s? Is there out there checking?
Here is possible reason why Mendoza did it, holding hostages in public, demanding his job back. If serial failed coup plotter did it, he became a senator. If serial failed coup plotter Honsan did it, he became a senator. If Ramos did it, he became a President … and the highly critical deep analyzing Philippine journalists just failed to attack. Holding their tongue, their pen. Lacson is still “lost” and “cannot be located” JUST LIKE HONASAN!!!! He must know that journalists know that everyone are afraid to talk about.

If Philippine journalists festively publish Joey De Venencia’s tsismis on ZTE without gathering evidences, Mendoza can do it. Oh, by the way, de Venecia is a CEO, foreign-educated, ivy-school graduate(?) PHilippine journalists are way out of league by de Venecia in credentials, yet de Venecia went to “responsible” journalists without evidence. By mere horses mouth the “responsible” journalists publish de Venecia’s tsismis.

Ces Drilon Kidnapping News Blackout. WoW! This one foreign journalists are just scratching their head. Philippine journalists know that terrorists love publicity. They feed on it. They do not get incensed if “responsible” “intelligent” peryodistas talk about them. They’d love it! Abu Sayaf must have Philippine journalists in their speed dial! Yet, when Ces Drilon was kidnapped the “responsible” journalists imposed news blackout AFRAID ABU SAYAF MIGHT GET ANGRY!!! That is absolutely, totally fuck up FUNNY! I hope it was a joke! It must be. Can I laugh? HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!
In Mendoza’s case, NONE OF THE ABOVE WAS APPLIED!!!! DUH! I am not a journalist. I failed high-school. But I make more sense!

Above process is what i’ve been harping about on ZTE and other crimes in the Philippines. Do not pagarparings so as not to telegraph what evidences the investigators have. Now bulay-og Philippine media is doing the right thing because Chinese cannot be idiotize the way bulay-og media are idiotizing Filipinos with what they think as the correct way.

Will some RESPONSIBLE JOURNALIST analyze why Mendoza hijacked a busload of chinese to get his job back! He must be innocent of the charges leveled against him if he went that far.

“No Whitewash” “We’ll get to the bottom of this” “No coverup” “heads will roll” “Unassailable” are common words used along with Chinese Massacre sa Luneta. Meaning, all of the above do not apply if the massacred are brown-skin-punked-nose Filipinos.
Above is also applied if peryodistas are ampatuanized regardless bungled forensic investigation which the peryodistas are totally clueless. Peryodistas are only wired for POLITICAL ANALYSIS. Period.
