THE MANILA HOSTAGE DRAMA : AN UNENDING SOURCE OF EMBARRASSMENT FOR THE PHILIPPINES

After witnessing how the police force and government officials failed to rescue the Hongkong nationals during the infamous Manila hostage drama, I thought the worse is over for that embarrassing incident. But I guess the stupidity of Filipinos is just too much to contain. Now, a mix-up in the identities of the bodies of the victims further adds to the embarrassment of the country to the international community.
After holding ceremonies for their dead family members, bereaved Hongkong nationals were surprised to find out that the bodies inside the coffins are not their loved ones at all. The Philippine government obviously mislabeled the coffins which resulted in the mix-up. True to form, Filipino government officials once again displayed their total incompetence. Once again, the whole world is a witness to the gross negligence and outright stupidity of some Filipinos.
I certainly hope that Filipinos get their acts together to prevent further embarrassment to the international community. The embarrassment must end. And the best way to end it, I believe, is by being responsible and competent in performing one's assigned duty.
