Hostage Drama in Manila

I, deep in my heart blamed the system of governance we had in the Philippines. We had the enacted constitution here in this institution yet, sometimes we, Filipinos especially those in public service disregard its establishment. As promulgated in the Philippine codified constitution, every individual should not be deprived of life, liberty and equality without due process of law nor any individual be denied in the protection of the law(Art. 3 sec. 1), now come to think of it, Does the Government unit provided Mr. Mendoza due process of law?.He was denied and worse the police officers even arrested his innocent relatives. If ever you will be put in his shoes, quite sure you will also be agitated. I've read an article stating that the fault of one man should not put in the others, a very true statement that the fault of Mr. Mendoza should not be put on to his relatives also.
I'm not protecting Mr. Mendoza indeed I despised his brutal actions. He did lost his moral and dignity as awarded police officer in the Philippines. I pity his conduct but if he was given due process, maybe he will do such cruelty.
Whose to be blame then?
The answer is in our instinct...We had different perspectives and analysis about the case and one thing, I cannot impose what perspective in you nor you can impose your perspective in me..
we cannot bring back the time and the best thing for us to do is to move on and accept our lapses providing that that thing will never happen again in the Philippines. Lets take it, though its hard, as a lesson and a message to all of us especially to the Government officials to provide even more safety environment by proper police training and of course gadgets like ammunition and armed combats for the use of the police authorities during training and actual operations.
Does media also had lapses in the detailed coverage of this police operation?
Yes, they had and it's up to you how you interpret their lapses.
My condolence to the victims of the hostage drama and to the family of Mr. Mendoza. I know it's painful to lose your loved ones. Let us pray and I know someday, wounds will be healed in God's grace and mercy...God bless us all brothers and sisters.
