Let's Cheer up People.

Don't worry, this incident doesn't really bother since I wasn't the one responsible. second, only bunch of racist and short minded people have the guts to hate the entire nation and not the one's responsible. as for me, I am moving on. Let them be the disrespectful and revengeful.

Lets just hope that those people are as forgiving like us. True time flies fast but what happened is not something that can be forgotten by the victims and their family members. Let's just learn from past mistakes (which i doubt).

I must say I'm upset about this incident, the situation is not professionally handled by the authorities. My opinions and views may differ but I will still say it, its the PNP's mistake for the deaths of this innocent people. They may be thinking that they handled it the best way they could but sad truth is they did not really. Foreign had their rights to get mad because we really have a dis-functional police officials..What triggered PSI Mendoza to kill those people is simply the things that the officers did,the officers need not need to harass the brother of said hostage taker, they didn't have to create another commotion that will trigger the hostage taker to panic.. another thing is that I am ashamed of the police officers who handled this drama. they do not have the right to boast nor show any signs of being proud because they fail their mission to rescue the remaining 15 lives aboard on that bus..I had seen the news and the officers were boasting about the police men acting brave about the said incident. hence, they could have saved those Chinese national's lives if they pretended that that they will give him what he wants, yes there is a due process that must take place but what can the due process can save if for once they decided to set it aside, it can save innocent lives and can save the shame of our own country..if only they pretended that he will be reinstated or say they will really reinstate him, didn't they even bother to analyze that PSI Mendoza cannot even use his demands given because he simply violated the law and he must face the charges and can never get back to position..I'm simply disappointed. BIG QUESTION IS..WHAT CAN PNOY DO NOW?

letran do not feel too bad my US has had its share of awful things that might have been prevented or cou ld have been handled better like the Columbine school massacre in which this fat angry teen gunned down a lot of' people. afterward the school officials admitted he had been bullied a lot in school and picked on. this left me dumbfounded as surely the school psychiatrist cou ld see he was in need of mental help. an angry mentally confused teen with emotional problems and able to get weapons..

Yes, we should move on. We were brought to anger once during the execution of Flor Contemplacion in Singapore; however, that's a different story. But the point is that we reacted violently before. We cannot blame the Chinese for behaving such after the incident here in Manila. I too will clamor for heads to roll if I'm in there position.

your right, we have to cheer up ..everything will be okay ..and this crisis well just pas, we dont know ..just cheer up guys ..

hoping for the better is one good thing to think about. our police officers are not prepared for things like this. it is very bad for them to say it on TV that they lack in training. so what are they doing all this years? this is another challenge to our government to make it better. i hope our nation's leader is taking it all in and thinking something that can make it better. i too am hoping for the better. i have friends and relatives who are going to china next month to buy goods that they will sell this coming christmas season but there is a travel ban from china. but i am still hoping and praying for the best.

Well for one...Venus did make it to the top 5 even though a lot of critics did not like her answer at the Q&A portion. Unfortunately though, the hostage drama is not something that would easily disappear from our history in the near future. It would greatly affect the economy and tourism and it will be a sure challenge for the current administration. Our PNP clearly lacks training about handling such difficult situations. Anyway, let's just hope our new President can come out with something that would help bring up the faith of tourists again so that they start visiting our home again.

That is so optimistic of you, Knight, seeing the goodness out of this dreadful incident. Well, this is just more than a case of discrimination.Lives were lost in our land... Sadly, but we should be held responsible for it...It'll be ages before we can reach to the point when we are so equipped to dealt with such situation. Yeah, sure thing, dear. We should not wallow on this one,instead, stand up and try to move on. Let this be water under the bridge now ( really?). There'll be a ot of things to do still and things will be better soon for all of us... Be blessed, dear.:)

I agree with you, it's not the end of the world for us Filipinos. Time will pass and this will slowly be forgotten. So we should move on with our lives although its not easy for those who were involved and their relatives. We are also in pain because our nation are being ridiculed for the action of just one man named Rolando Mendoza.

Incidents happened in many countries. We normally learned something after every incident (hopefully). When there was a bombing in Bali which killed hundreds of people (mostly were Australian), it was quiet a shock for all of us. Now we know that no where is really save, not even in our own home. We can only move on and be more cautious. Hotels now have security bar and check at the front gate before any guest entering a hotel.

This is indeed a sad incident and it is hard to cheer up. I feel sorry for the Chinese tourits who lost their lives just wanting to see the Philippines. I feel sorry for the loved ones they left behind. But most of all, I feel sorry why these incidents happen, not only in our country but elsewhere. What is happening to humanity? I've read incidents from other countries where people go to schools and just shoot anybody on sight. I watched Oprah interviewed ladies who were victims of a man who wants to spread AIDS. Why? I really wonder why these things are happening to our world now.
