DARKEST DAY, BLACKEST NIGHT

So that I remember.

So that we don' forget.

So that this never happens again.

WTF Hostage Taking sa Quirino Grandstand?
A disgraced cop holds a bus full of tourists from Hong Kong;
they were on their way to the Manila Ocean Park : (
Monday at 12:32pm




‎"BIG MISTAKE TO CORRECT A BIG WRONG DECISION"
- homemade sign the policeman/hostage taker posted
on the bus window that's vexing and flummoxing
the media and the hostage negotiators
Monday at 2:12pm




THE BUS
almost 7 hours and counting
in front of the Quirino Grandstand
Monday at 4:22pm

People thought this would end peacefully,
like the Manila City Hall Hostage Crisis

quite a few of our policemen seem to think
that they are cops in L.A. CONFIDENTIAL:
1953 Los Angeles = 2010 MetroManila
"off the record, on the QT and very hush-hush..."
Monday at 5:09pm




this Hostage Situation is now crazier than any TELENOVELA
Monday at 7:08pm




Pati Pulis takot sa Kapwa Pulis
na baka ma-salvage sila a la Ivan Padilla and Bathroom Boy
Monday at 7:19pm




GUNSHOTS WTF?!?!?!
Monday at 7:23pm

This could have been a Kill Shot

POLICE gaddem there's at TV in the bus
that can get ABS-CBN and other channels ANO BA?!?!?
Monday at 7:25pm




TOTAL BOTCHED JOB F*CK. DEPRESSING.
it's obvious that the hostage taker was monitoring TV
& just totally lost it after he saw his brother arrested.
Monday at 7:45pm




I can't bear to look at my TV now : (
Monday at 7:54pm




MENDOZA is still alive and is still shooting.
Monday at 8:21pm




UZISERO hit by stray bullet.
Monday at 8:29pm




praying for a MIRACLE
that more hostages are still alive.
Monday at 8:52pm

The skies wept, as did we.

NAKAKAIYAK...
sa galak, dahil may mga hostage na nabuhay,
sa poot, dahil sa mga 'di kailangan namatay.
Monday at 9:11pm




PRESIDENT AQUINO, MAYOR LIM:
the city, the nation feel very very battered right now.

P-NOY, ano na?
It's a quarter to midnight.
Monday at 11:46pm




KUDOS to the Fil-Chi Volunteer Firefighters
for taking care of the surviving hostages
by acting as their interpreters : )
Monday at 11:47pm




The One Good Thing about this presscon?
PNoy addressed, and was quite testy,
about Sensationalistic Media Overkill.
Tuesday at 12:37am




I wanted PNOY in a Barong Tagalog,
strong, alone behind his desk, Presidential Seal behind him,
and I wanted him looking and sounding extremely pissed,
and then I wanted to hear soothing noises.
Did Not Happen : (
Tuesday at 12:57am




Let's just permanently "assign" Rep. Ronald Singson
to Hong Kong as reparation for this hostage fiasco.
