'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...

Filipina maid inherits millions from employer in Singapore

SINGAPORE (AFP) - – A devoted Filipina maid inherited six million Singapore dollars (more than four million US) from her late employer after more than 20 years of service, a newspaper report said Wednesday. "I am the luckiest maid in Singapore, with or without the money," the 47-year-old single woman -- identified only by the pseudonym "Christine" -- told the Straits Times in an interview. The maid refused to be named in public for fear of possible threats to her life in the impoverished Philippines, where wealthy people have been kidnapped for ransom and some killed by their abductors. The windfall, including cash and a luxury apartment near the Orchard Road shopping belt, came from the estate of her employer Quek Kai Miew, a medical doctor and philanthropist who died last year at 66. The maid had also taken care of the doctor's late mother, and was told that she would be a beneficiary of her employer's will when it was drawn up in 2008. ...

JOKE time po!

On their 40th wedding anniversary and during the banquet celebrating it, Tom was asked to give his friends a brief account of the benefits of a marriage of such long duration. "Tell us Tom, just what is it you have learned from all those wonderful years with your wife?"  Tom responds, "Well, I've learned that marriage is the best teacher of all.  It teaches you loyalty, forbearance, meekness, self-restraint, forgiveness  --and a great many other qualities you wouldn't have needed if you'd stayed SINGLE." HAHAHA!

Kris Aquino: I have never controlled James

MANILA, Philippines - True to form, and out of respect for the presidential inaugural, James Yap, the shy and soft-spoken estranged husband of Kris Aquino, has opted to remain quiet on their breakup, which was confirmed by Kris on her farewell appearance on the ABS-CBN talk show “The Buzz.” “Respeto lang po kay Presidente Noynoy,” James told The STAR in a brief interview yesterday. “He will take his oath of office tomorrow at ayoko namang agawan siya ng eksena. Our country has a lot of problems. Ewan ko ba kung bakit ang problema namin ng asawa ko ang pinagtutuunan ng pansin ng tao.” A lot of people are taking Kris to task on why she has to steal the show from her Kuya Noynoy, who will be sworn in as the 15th president of the Philippines tomorrow at austere ceremonies at the newly-renovated Quirino Grandstand. He’s doing away with the parade to cut costs. “Kris said on The Buzz that she has kept quiet for two years about her marital problem,” said a disappointed Kris fan. “If she ...

Jesus is in a Tricycle

I was riding a "tricycle" ( a public utility vehicle )in one of my short visits in Manila when I saw this in front of my face. Halleluyaaaaah! Wherever I go, He keeps reminding me of His awesome presence. Yes! Jesus is Lord forever! Ameeeeen! Note: Tricycle - Tricycles are motorcycles with side cars bigger than the pedicab, which has the legal capacity of 5 passengers including the driver. However, due to the oil price increase, some drivers will accept up to 10-15 passengers: squeezed in the sidecar and the backseat of the driver, hanging at the rear or sides of the sidecar and/or sitting on the roof top. Other times these vehicles carry loads of market goods, hardware or furniture and even appliances. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone
