Gunmen seize school bus in Manila, 31 children held
Two armed men took over a bus in the Philippine capital Manila on Wednesday and were holding 31 nursery school children and two teachers hostage, apparently to highlight corruption in the country.
"I am so sorry I took these children in a violent action to call the attention of the Filipino people to open their minds to the political reality," said the man, who said his name was Jun Ducat.
"There's so much corruption in the country. We're number one in Asia in corruption," he said in a speech which lasted for at least 15 minutes.
"I am calling on the Filipino people to stop the rotten political system. Don't rely on the politicians for your future. No one can help you but yourselves."
Another only-in-the-Philippines-scenario. Kung iisipin, nakakahiya para sa mga Pilipino na mapapanood ito ng mga tao sa ibang bansa ka kailangan pang gumawa ng ganitong mga bagay para maiparating natin sa mga kinauukulan ang ating mga hinaing, ang kabulukan sa sa ating pulitika. Oo nga at maganda ang layunin ng hostage-taker, pero mga walang muwang na bata ang dinamay niya na posibleng dalhin nila ang pangyayaring iyon hanggang sa kanilang paglaki. They may have a trauma.
Well, we must admit na ganyan talaga tayong mga Pilipino. Creative. Para mapansin, kailangang gumawa ng kung anu-anong eksena. Now, sana, this coming election, gawin sana ng mga mananalong pulitiko ang kanilang inihahaing plataporma at hindi iyong they're just presenting it just for the sake of having one.
