Hate comments bombard Philippine President's fan page
0 
Two days after the 11-hour hostage taking incident in the Philippine capital of Manila that ended in the deaths of eight people from Hong Kong, the finger-pointing still continues.
 |
Instead of praises that could usually be read from Aquino's Facebook account, anger and hurt over how the government handled the situation rammed P-Noy's (Filipinos' pet name for Aquino) fan page.
Obviously unsatisfied with Aquino's explanations over the bloody tragedy, one of the comments read: "We need the truth, not lie. We need Justice, not excuse. I'm angry. Everyone is angry."
Another commentator who said he is a student of Hong Kong said: In this tragedy, I do not blame any of (Filipino but) the police. As I believe that there was another way to save hostages such as (to) continue the negotiation rather than using violence.
Yet another who introduced himself as a resident of the Hong Kong said, "I am so angry that (the Philippine) government and police force did not do their best to protect the Hong Kong people. It is a sad day for Hong Kong and a lot of people are crying today. " Accord Capital Equities Corp. analyst Justino Calaycay in his Facebook account connected with the website of the president, " I don't know what to think, I don't know what to say on and about today's tragic ending to the hostage-taking. We never learn. There were lapses, there were excesses.
Aquino has already declared Aug. 25 as day of national mourning for the victims of Monday's hostage-taking incident that left eight Hong Kong tourists dead. Hostage-taker, former Police Senior Inspector Rolando Mendoza, was also killed in a gunfight with local police.
