125 People taken "Hostage"

when i heard about this in the news report on tv, that is also my initial reaction. the president might think and consider expanding the martial law in that area. and that is pretty scary. as if she can do that, she might think of expanding it to other areas and might even get national.

hello Letran, Once again dear brother. Good that you have noticed all of these things. Can't you feel something fishy...very rotten fish,meat...fart the worst for this system(aw shuckzzz) The simultaneous crime,and yah...how could they ever held too much number of people...where are the military/authorities? Are they hiding?...or...what?(hmnnn) Is this another strategy to declare Martial Law to that particular place?...and then what's next? Another attack from another place,and another declaration of Martial Law...and so on and forth? And...the for the finale...there is no election by 2010 What do you think bro?

Yeah this is a big distraction to the efforts being made in the Maguindanao areas. I do hope that this problem would be addressed without the need to expand the Martial Law declaration to that area. I really think that Mindanao is really a very lawless place and police and military are not able to perform their jobs quite well as they cannot stop these armed groups from doing their thing almost without any resistance from them.

another great move by the government! remember how senator trillanes III revealed this issues? unending war in mindanao because the government doesn't want to end it up. more young soldiers sacrificed their lives to a war that doesn't seem to have a clear explanation on what they are fighting for. remember how those abu sayaff were cornered by the soldiers but amazingly all of them escaped! how about the visiting forces agreement wherein visitors doesn't seem to be going back home anymore huh! it's all part of the governments strategy. of course for the one seated to stay with the power. our soldiers are always ready for any tasks. they were trained for everything! but its the one seated who will always have the last say. the order comes from there. tsk2 poor juan dela cruz.

Dude! they are already there! I think they are also behind that kidnapping things, don't look for them cause their are already there. Think of it this way, many rebellions, many violence and many blood is equal to "MARTIAL LAW" and this is equal to "PROCESS OF CHARTER CHANGE" and then there it goes! POWER

that's really a bad news. honestly, I cannot say if this is just a big set up plan or it's really getting worse for apeople out there. I just hope that people that has power in our country won't take advantage. Enough is enough. Don't be abusive anymore with their power. Many innocent lives are getting involve and lost

our country is just turning like a very destabilize country, like a civil war is brewing if this kind of problems continue. i feel like we are some kind of Iraq though not that bad yet.

I really doubt they're not that neglect with it comes to their duties, otherwise it can be considered embarassing to the people and to the world. they got caught off guard and mis-interpret by the children because they thought they were from the military or from the cafgu due to problem there in mindanao.

i hope all them have been released already. for me, this is just a distraction for them to spread wide the Martial Law rule in the country. don't let the ML spread across that part of the country, pressure the military to end and solve the problem a lot more quickly than expected.

Not sure how to respond on the situation regarding their agenda, but the concern there is only for those innocent teachers and children who involved in this mess with the group. negotiations should be swift and no military operation should be conducted for the safety of the hostages, any more deaths can be held the government officials accountable in these situations. i feel there was negligence but i am sure they are doing everything they can to release them with out harm.
