On going event. An ex-policeman carrying an armalite rifle has taken hostage a tourist bus which include school children from Hong Kong parked at Quirino Grandstand. The ex policeman was the head of the Manila mobile group that made "hulidap" a La Sallite student/chef that was forced to swallow shabu and withdraw money from his ATM. He was dismissed from service last January. As usual, magulo na naman mga taga media. Hope it ends peacefully. Another blackeye to our tourist industry.
