'It's too late': Survivor

Philippine policemen start their assault on the tourist bus full of Hong Kong tourists after an ex-policeman hijacked the bus. -- PHOTO: AFP HONG KONG - A SURVIVOR of a dramatic hostage siege in the Philippine capital which left eight Hong Kong tourists dead on Monday accused the authorities of acting too late and turning a blind eye to their ordeal. The Hong Kong woman, who identified herself as Mrs Leung, told reporters that her husband was killed as he tried to stop ex-policeman Rolando Mendoza from attacking other passengers on their tour bus in Manila. Mrs Leung, still in shock as she was carried out from the bus following a 12-hour standoff, demanded to know why Manila police came to their rescue so late. 'It's too late. Why were there no one to help us after so many hours?' she said at the scene of the siege, in comments broadcast on Hong Kong's Cable TV. 'There were so many people on the bus - no one came to our rescue. Why? For money? Sacrificing so many ...

China condemns Manila hijack

MANILA - CHINA on Tuesday strongly condemned a Philippine bus hijacking that left eight Hong Kong tourists dead as an 'atrocity', and urged Manila to ensure Chinese citizens are safe. The Chinese embassy said: 'The Chinese government strongly condemns the atrocity by the hostage-taker, expresses grave condolences to the victimised Hong Kong compatriots and conveys profound sympathy to the bereaved families.' 'The Chinese side has urged the Philippine side to take concrete measures to ensure the safety and security of the Chinese citizens in the Philippines,' it said in a statement. Philippine President Benigno Aquino said early on Tuesday that he has sent an apology to Hong Kong Chief Executive Donald Tsang for what had happened, adding that he has ordered the Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs to extend all possible assistance to the victims.

Bloodbath dominates HK media

HONG KONG - LURID photographs of the bloodbath dominated the front pages of the Hong Kong press on Tuesday, with a few Chinese-language newspapers changing their mast-head colour from red to black in mourning. Editorials echoed the southern Chinese territory's leader in querying the response of Philippine authorities. 'The way it is handled - particularly the outcome - is very disappointing,' Hong Kong Chief Executive Donald Tsang told reporters late on Monday. Newspapers bemoaned missed opportunities to end the siege much earlier, including when the gunman - a disgraced former senior police inspector - had waved from the bus door. 'A large group of police failed to get into the bus after surrounding the vehicle for nearly half an hour,' the Hong Kong Economic Journal said, adding: 'Their appalling professional standards, and the lack of strategic planning, made observers both angry and sad. This tragedy could have been avoided'. Also noting the len...

Fury in HK over carnage

A woman from Hong Kong cries as she enters a hospital to visit her relative who was wounded during Monday's hostage drama in Manila, Philippines. -- PHOTO: AP HONG KONG - THE Philippines faced fury in Hong Kong on Tuesday as the territory plunged into mourning for eight tourists mown down in Manila, with flags at half-mast and share traders holding a minute's silence. One survivor of Monday's day-long bus siege said her husband and two daughters were killed in a hail of bullets as the crisis reached a dramatic climax. Her son was in intensive care in hospital, said the survivor, identifying herself only as Mrs Leung. 'The Philippine government.... I can't accept this. Why did they do this to us? The gunman did not want to kill us. He only shot us after the negotiations failed,' she said, sobbing. The Hong Kong government has added the Philippines on its travel 'black' list, urging all against travelling there. Two Cathay Pacific flights were als...
