                    [Summary] => 




Even for the apparent lapses committed during the hostage crisis that gripped Manila two weeks ago, the city’s top police officials are getting a mere slap on the wrist.


Manila Police District director Senior Superintendent Danilo Abarzosa, MPD Station 5 commander Superintendent Rogelio Rosales and precinct commander Chief Inspector Bernardo Cubacub will be "admonished" for the lapses they committed during the 10-hour hostage crisis last March 28.

The man who held hostage a busload of kids the other day is not a heel — he is a desperate hero. Yes, he is guilty of abduction, of having explosives and firearms during an election season when firearms are banned. But he did what no New People’s Army cadre or revolutionary did — he brought the plight of our poor not just to the attention of our leaders but to the whole world.
