Bloody Monday for Filipinos

1. As a Filipino student, how it feels like being a citizen of this country watching the hostage crisis in a nationwide television coverage?

As a Filipino student, I felt sad of what had happened to the Hong Kong tourist. As I watched the live television coverage I am disappointed with the action of our national police. I am scared with the lives of the hostage victims and how will be the critics of other nations with us on how our government action for this kind of accident.

2.Do you feel ashamed of being a Filipino?

I don’t feel ashamed of being a Filipino because I have a lot of things to be proud of. Our country is rich in natural resources, culture and tradition. The hostage crisis is an unexpected incident no one wanted it to happen. But, in the same time I feel little bit mad with our government officials on how they handle this kind of situation. This is just a challenge to all of us and a lesson also.
I AM PROUD TO BE FILIPINO.
3.What is the first thing that comes in your mind right there seeing the live coverage of the hostage crisis?

The first thing that comes in my mind right there seeing the live coverage of the hostage crisis, is that the Philippines will be on the headlines of the news worldwide because the hostage taking was reported blow by blow. It would bring a nationwide embarrassment to all by the worst critics of foreign countries especially the Hong Kong because there citizens were the victims. Foreigners will be afraid for the safety in visiting our country.
4.What is the role of information communication technology in mass media during the hostage crisis?

The role of information communication technology in mass media during the hostage crisis it told the world the true live scenario of the hostage taking in our country. It reported to all how poor our authority to handle this kind of situation. They just told the truth.

5.What is your message to the world who have witnessed the live hostage crisis?

I as a Filipino student, wholeheartedly sorry for the hostage crisis. It is just an incident, no expected it to happen. I asked your open-minded understanding about the situation. It is an isolated case and happen all over the world.
I asked from all of you the wise judgment that not all Filipinos is committed to the hostage taking.
Philippines is a paradise country don’t be afraid it.
Come and visit us.
