i have watched the whole scenario. almost 11 hours of holding breath and anger.
i respect your opinions. all are with a point or two.
i personally call on the philippine government to start anew. as ted failon always say: panahon na ng pagbabago. be stiff…be supportive…and for christ sake and ours, stop corruption…
i also call on our fellow filipinos, start anew…be supportive…be law abiding citizens, be a true filipino. panahon na ng pagbabago.
i call on all people aroung the globe, not to be judgemental. not to be swept by anger and one sided stories…it happens anywhere…
let us all do what is right…let us reap what is due to us.
goodluck.
As a Filipino, I am not sorry. I understand that the act of that one lone gunman is unacceptable as well as the bumbling work of the MPD SWAT team. But hostage situations cannot be prevented, and it can happen anytime, anyplace, any country. We cannot stop death from happening, nor 100% prevent deaths from hostage situations. Everything happens because it happens… and because sh*t happens. Have we all Filipinos forgot the number of tortured and murdered OFWs from Hongkong? No. Because we don’t make it a big deal and we are not cry babies. STOP APOLOGIZING.
We’re all saddened to what happened to that fateful day. My condolences to all the bereaved families.
Though, I agree with Miss Swan Princess.Some Chinese has maltreated a lot of Filipinos especially in HK.There were number of deaths caused by the so called maltreatments but we never heard from them showing remorse let alone apoligizing in public to the Filipinos.The Chinese people is definitely the pot calling the kettle black.
It was an isolated case and does not reflect the Filipinos as a whole.
As a humble and peace-loving person, i don’t blame the people of Hong Kong and all the Chinese people who in one way or another were affected in this very incident and expressing their outrage. That is very much understandable. My sincerest condolences to the bereaved family of the victims of this tragedy. Now, the concern that i would like to point out is the hatred of those in Hong Kong being pointed out to our fellow Filipinos working and living in HK. Peace may reign to everyone.
Stop apologizing!
It’s not your fault nor anyone else aside from the gunman himself. As Paul from Ireland pointed out, things like this happen nearly every year anywhere in the world. I never heard Koreans apologize for what the Virginia Tech gunman did a few years ago. While it is natural to be saddened be reminded that it is not I or you who did it…
