Being a Filipino i know it's hard because we see everything i mean avery little mistakes our leaders are making. but that is not enough grounds to hostage people. he can express his angst and reform request in other ways but involving innocent children on this hostage crisis. Whee.... he must be crackin' nuts!!!!! tell me your opinions....

As i observed in this hostage drama,in my opinion,i believe this is politically inclined that this is just a gimmick by senator bong revilla and especially chavit singson...sorry to him,i will not vote him for sure.

actually when i saw bong revilla as one of the negotiators i thought that this was a major political agenda rather than a simple hostage taking but when you look at the details the politicians just took advantage of the situation and they are more like the attention catcher, rather than the one plotting the whole thing. nice observation though...

You're definitely right about that. He did have a valid point in his protest but taking hostage of his own students and teachers is gravely wrong. H e may have won by granting the children education but he has traumatized innocent children and their parents as well. Although the some of the parents were happy that they have benefited from the events the benefits will be forever imprinted in the lives of the victims. It also shows a very bad example of how you can air your concerns with the government. I hope there will no copycats around who will be doing it just to glorify itself and his agenda.
