As everyone knows, the hostage-taking fiasco last Monday end up in a very disturbing manner. Nine innocent lives were wasted in a meaningless bloodshed. A group of tourists who came to the country to enjoy will be going home in boxes. It was a sad and horrible outcome like most of the seemingly getting common incidents of fear due to the relentless evil deeds.

In the last article posted on this blog, I featured a web article showing how the media could do better in broadcasting cases of crisis like hostage-taking incidents. Now, the British Broadcasting Corporation-Asia Pacific (BBC) published an article entitled, "Ten things the Philippines bus siege police got wrong". It features comments from Charles Shoebridge, a security analyst who has worked in British Army and Scotland Yard for counter-terrorism.

Those who are at fault are as follows: Hostage taker Mendoza, brother of Mendoza, Manila Swat team, Media (especially ABS-CBN and other Philippine media stations) when they had live coverage of the scene when Police tried to isolate Mendoza's brother. Media should not have shown this on live coverage. They should have shown this specific scene much later.
