http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/breakingnews/...oad-of-tourists MANILA, Philippines—(UPDATE 2) A dismissed police captain on Monday took hostage a busload of Korean tourists at the Quirino grandstand. The armalite-wielding Senior Inspector Rolando Mendoza is holding some 25 tourists aboard a Hong Thai travel bus with plate number TUU-799. "We are still trying to determine the circumstances of the hijacking and what happened," Metro Manila police commander Director Leocadio Santiago said over DZBB radio in Manila. "There are children and adults on the bus," he said. Superintendent Orlando Yebra and Chief Inspector Romeo Salvador have taken the lead in the negotiations with the hostage taker. Background information obtained by the Philippine Daily Inquirer on Mendoza shows he has been facing charges for manhandling a suspect before the Office of the Ombudsman. Mendoza has been passing messages to police negotiators through pieces of paper. |

Supt. Yerba is negotiating. He is a very well-trained hostage negotiator. |

Statement on the ongoing incident at Quirino Grandstand by Philippine National Police Spokesman Senior Superintendent Agrimero A. Cruz, Jr., Chief PIO, August 23, 2010, 1:14 PM The PNP High Command is closely monitoring the ongoing hostage situation in Manila. The Manila Police District is addressing the situation under the direct guidance and supervision of the Regional Director of NCRPO. Initially, the hostage-taker has been identified as Reynaldo Mendoza, a dismissed Police Senior Inspector. The Chief PNP has given instructions to all concerned PNP unit commanders, particularly the Regional Director of NCRPO, PDir. Leocadio Santiago and the District Director of MPD, CSupt. Orlando Magtibay. The general guidance of the Chief PNP is to strictly observe to the letter, the Police Operational Procedures (POP) on Hostage-Crisis Situations with paramount emphasis on the safety of the hostages, the police personnel on the ground, and the hostage-taker himself. A Crisis Management Committee (CMC) has been activated by the City Government of Manila to coordinate all actions of concerned police units and agencies. The Chief PNP also gave instructions to PNP unit commanders on the ground, as much as possible, not to allow this situation from affecting the normal activities of the public in the rest of the city. At this point we urge the public, media, and other concerned sectors for their cooperation and indulgence in bearing with the situation. We remain optimistic the situation will be resolved at the soonest possible time without anyone getting hurt. http://www.gov.ph/2010/08/23/pnp-statement...0-as-of-114-pm/ |
