According to the manager of Emerald Restaurant, President Noynoy arrived at the Chinese restaurant when the hostage drama was over. The whole second floor of the restaurant was closed to accomodate President Noynoy and company. The president ordered fried rice and prawns among others.
I am just appalled that the president had the gall to eat when dead bodies were being carried out of the hostage site. He chose to eat than to personally see the tragedy that struck a few meters from the restaurant. He couldn't even answer the diplomatic calls of a Chinese official. Yet he had the time to have dinner at a fancy Chinese restaurant. The lack of sensitivity, propriety and urgency of the president are unbelievable. I do think that the country deserves the condemnation that it is getting from Hongkong and China. In that moment when we should have acted properly, even the president showed lack of human understanding of the great tragedy that struck merely a stone throw away from him.
