A discharged policeman,named Rolando Mendoza, killed seven Chinese people who were just having a tour around Manila.
This happening is very disappointing, not only for the Chinese people but also for the Filipinos.
For one reason, because of this hostage taking, Philippines tourism will go down.
There has been a lot of killing happening here in the Philippines by hostaging. This randomly/ seldomly happens in the Philippines. Especially to tourists.
Though what really disappointed me was the fact that because he wanted to clean his name, he took hostages, and by his selfishness - made Philippines image look terrible.
Now, I don't blame him but just for him to be able to clean his name, the Philippines had to have a bad reputation.
Mendoza acted selfishly haven't he thought of the families of the people in the bus? Haven't he thought about what would happen to the Philippines reputation?
What is happening to the world of today? Is it really natural for people to react like this because of poverty?
You know, for me this hostage news is really a turning point for a Filipino because not only does this hostage-taking show the foreigners that we are selfish/ corrupt people but it also shows that we are not capable of handling crime scenes.
I really feel so sad for what might happen to the Philippines after this. It also shows how evil humans are turning in to. We have greed, selfishness, and evil in our hearts.Without Jesus Christ, all of us should have been sent to hell for eternity. Because of Jesus, we are forgiven for our sins, if we accept him truly in our hearts. He could change your life right now like what with my life. He transformed my heart and changed my ways. I have been judgmental with Mendoza and I'm sorry. Now, I realize that he is a human greedy and selfish without Jesus in his heart and I feel pity for him because it's as if he spent his whole life on earth not knowing what Jesus has done for him. The feeling of having to be releived from all the pain, suffering...to feel free for the first time. To have experienced a happier life knowing someone loves and cares for you so much that he'd actually give up his life for you.
