Im sorry Im not in the position to confirm that, all I know and can say is SAF's assault teams were ready but were not utilized. No truth to the allegations that we lack the training and equipment - SAF has all the weapons, equipment & vehicles required for that type of operation and operators were highly trained here & abroad with the US FBI's Hostage Rescue and Israel's YAMAM. |

Jackie Chan: If they killed the guy sooner, they will say why not negotiate first? If they negotiate first, they ask why not kill the guy sooner? So sad |

until now, i'm wondering why the MPD decided not to ask the SAF for reinforcement despite knowing the fact that they're too ill-equipped to deal with the hostage crisis unlike the SAF. |

UK not advising vs travel to Philippines INQUIRER.net First Posted 13:15:00 08/25/2010 MANILA, Philippines—In the aftermath of the tragic hostage-taking at the Quirino Grandstand, the United Kingdom is not advising its citizens against travelling to the country. “In response to the incident, the British government has not upgraded the level of our advice and we are not advising against travel to the Philippines. We have, however, included a factual reference to the incident in the text of our travel advice. This is standard practice for events of this type,” the British embassy in the Philippines said in a statement. In the same statement, British Ambassador to Manila Stephen Lillie echoed the message of British Consul General in Hong Kong Andrew Seaton and expressed his condolences to the families of victims who were killed and injured in the hostage-taking. The 22 tourists who were in the bus hijacked by dismissed police captain Rolando Mendoza were mostly from Hong Kong, a former British colony. |

Pride? MPD commanders not willing to share the limelight, overconfidence? |

Damn! The most senior officer who blocked the SAF's deployed should be dismissed for gross negligence. The right people and equipment are already there, ready to act, but not one among the senior officers noticed this? Amazing. |
