Phoenix Television’s August 25th “Zao Ban Che” ["Phoenix Morning Commute"?] program broadcasted “Philippine police taking photos at scene of Hong Kong tourist catastrophe”, with the following text below:

Yang Juan: This bullet-ridden, blood-stained tour bus is still parked in its original place [during the hostage crisis]. Just yesterday, the family members of the Hong Kong hostages came to the scene to offer sacrifices/pay their respects, the scene very touching.

However, at the same time, the bus was unexpectedly being treated as a tourist sight by people. The photograph we see here is of Philippine police at the scene taking photographs as souvenirs, smiles on their faces, as if what was behind them was some famous sight.

[Taking photos] To remember what? To remember Chinese people being killed, or the Philippines failure? Inhuman!!!

四川省成都市网友:

From the Filipino police smiling and taking photos, what we see is a lack of humanity! To be blunt: Just a bunch of creatures worse than pigs and dogs!!!

青海省西宁市网友:

No conscientious, self-respecting Chinese person should go to this trash country for tourism, buy products made by this trash country, or hire the people of this trash country.

重庆市网友:

Just what kind of country is this???!!! The Philippines! Treating life as cheap! Not taking things seriously! Strongly condemn the Philippine government and those nonchalant police and the insensitive bystanders!!! Strongly condemn and protest!!!

北京市网友:

Think of it from another angle: Their generation is a generation of servants, so this incident will probably give their base psychology a kind of satisfaction.

浙江省台州市网友:

The Philippine president is inhuman, the police even more so, and even the ordinary common Filipinos are likewise callous. This kind of callous country deserves to be destroyed!
My heartfelt condolences to the Hong Kong victims! We are all Chinese people, and at this moment, everyone’s heart is heavy!

广东省深圳市宝安区网友:

They essentially did not see the Chinese hostages as people! If the hostages were people of other countries, the result wouldn’t have been like this. Angry, angry???

上海市网友:

It is clear what place China occupies in their minds!

上海市杨浦区网友:

Taking photos at the victims’ scene is already disgraceful, but adding those the ugly faces of those young Filipino girls, it is even more disgusting.

浙江省温州市网友:

All of a sudden, the shameless of the Philippines as a country is revealed.

北京市网友:

Might as well not tow it away, having it become a tourist attraction is okay too, to represent the shame of the Philippines!!!

广东省佛山市网友:

Seeing their smiles, I think of how the day of mourning they organized cannot possibly be mourning foreigners, so can they be mourning the gunman? Who will the Philippine citizens truly mourn in their hearts? Hard to imagine.

北京市网友:

A happy tourist destination [referring to the Philippines], but just because a group of “Chinese” tourists died, and just like when the American military is attacked in Iraq/Afghanistan, it is now laughed at and made fun of by Chinese people, humanity twisted! China’s sad soul…

无线网友:

Think of the Chinese people’s sick cheering during 9/11, and the various behaviors of the the Philippine people can be well understood, this is the moral decay of nationalistic crowds!

安徽省网友:

Filipinos are a bunch of inhuman cold-blooded animals.

Comments from Mop:

开舒克的贝塔:

You think there are less of these kind of people in China?

Look at the crowds of bystanders whenever something happens…how many of them are being sympathetic?

Some people…only have other people in their eyes, never looking at themselves.

倒骑摩托:

No license plate, no truth! Doesn’t exclude the possibility that it is a different bus of the same tour agency!

Of course, the Philippine JC were definitely SBs!

手心神神的:

If Hong Kong was still England’s, what would happen?

灰色的幻想:

Mentally retarded Filipino pigs. Sorry, I’ve insulted pigs.

美高梅MGM:

The Philippines simply didn’t care to rescue them, just look at how the Philippine president was full of smiles when speaking.

123456hexieshehui:

Those who know how to hop the wall [the GFW], this is the Philippine president’s Facebook page. A lot of Hong Kong people are leaving comments.

浪谷天香”

I’ll use “Filipino police” to insult people from now on.

redjaguar:

It can be said that Hong Kong people being held hostage this time and not getting effective help is the other side of Hong Kong’s racial discrimination.

  1. just a piece of advice from my lola (grandmother):
    “hija, if you did something bad to your friend, expect him to get angry. if he shouts at you or says something bad against you, just say sorry. don’t try to answer back. don’t explain, he will not listen. just wait for the right time. all wounds heal… and everything will be okay.” lola, i miss you so much.

  2. I have seen lots of pictures documented in the past major wars. This is very familiar to all those wars, soldiers smile, taking pictures after a big bloody engagement. These wars, its far worse than this hostage incident. Still, these people should know how to respect others.

    • I don’t think the issue is not smiling at the camera. It’s the picture taking itself. It’s a bit awkward to cry or show your sad face in front of a camera (at least for me). So better not go to the crime scene if you can’t control yourself to have your pictures taken there. That is the big mistake we committed last week and as I’ve mentioned in my previous post, i sincerely apologize.

      on the policemen above, are the pictures photoshopped? if not, you guys are worse than us.

  3. I do believe that MOST Chinese and HongKongers hate the whole Philippines and Filipinos, not only our policemen, not only our government, but all of us Filipinos. But let them be. Give them time to heal. I believe that everything, no matter how hard, no matter how sad, no matter how painful– comes to an end. But if say after a year, they still have hatred in their hearts, it is no longer our problem. Who will suffer after all? I suggest you read Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne.

  4. some Filipino’s just don’t care being stupid , sorry for our ignorance /\…

  5. you call that inhumanity? how about those filipinos whose you all chinese take advantage in harassment and raping them specifically the ofws in your own beloved country?! some of them died in your kind hands as you appear to be perfect!! intriguingly hows it ?

    • Hey Mist … before I go … just to let you know, I agree with you some Filipino maids are raped and abused … but they are compensatedby the courts … and I personally know of good Filipino maids that are rewarded by their Chinese employer … you heard of the Singaporean doctor that left everything to her Filipino maid .. S$3 million … I also know of employers marrying their maids and making her very rich. millionaire

      So it happens mist … good and bad

      But here we are discussing 8 dead TOURISTS … simple people touring and spending in Philippines… killed by A POLICEMAN and situation worsened by bureacracy and clueless cadets police or whatever taking photos smiling to brutally murdered spirits hovering round the scene … well to take the unhappy ghosts back to their homes ..lol

  6. Listen to this:

    Some family comes to BJ during the Olympics and takes some pics in Tienanmen Sq smiling, laughing, having a good time. OMG – how could they take pics in a a place where thousands of students were slaughtered?

    Think about that before you crying about this ‘injustice’

    • Life is life. Days will come when times like this happens. Why not just smile about it? the opposite will make you age^^…and there are already to much problem here on earth. Humans are diverse and we each all have our own individuality on things and is generally cause by conditions/the environment… So let us just try to be understanding with each other. Let us not quarrel, it will disturb the spirits…

      So sad that they passed in this world in such a tragic way.
      My greatest sympathy to those victims of the incident.
      Long live! “Believe it!”

  7. FUCK ALL THOSE HOSTAGES!

  8. Why the Chinese, including the Hong Kong Chinese, has to be forced, FORCED, to be friends with the Philippine Islander and Islanders?!

    The Philippine Islander and Islanders of course had himself and themselves had no qualms, reluctance or problems engaging the Chinese in Wars back in the years 1951 to 1975, or perhaps even into Today, with great and much greater loss of life from the other side.

    Manning the machine guns gunning down the Chinese and all that.

    Do remember and never to forget both the Korean War and the Viêtnam War!

    Go help the Koreans and down with America!
    Go help the Koreans and down with the Americans!
    Go help the Koreans and down with North America!

  9. when I mentioned it was a despicable act taking pics, it was totally directed at..PEOPLE…not Filipinos…if it were a Chinese or any people from other countries..I would hv done Exactly the same thing..Pls understand this..I am Chinese but I still hv lots of wonderful peace loving Filipino friends…I am expressing sorrow at the way those people involved(regardless of race) for not respecting the dead..period! So all Chinese pls do the right thing..direct your frustrations at those who did it…唔好’一棍打死整船人‘。。not the whole country please…BUT at the same time..after weeks of going through the vids & pics..I can’t really blame the Hong Kongers for venting out their anger at a whole nation…please….you hv to undertand..it REALLY was a sick bundled attempt( a conspiracy theory that’s so darn clear)..even Jackie Chan had to retreat & hide now for his irresponsible comments..pls allow the the Chinese to cool off…acknowledge the pain left by the police and civilians…pray for the victims, pray for peace…pray for repentance!

  10. Do remember and never to forget both the Korean War and the Viêtnam War!

    All, ALL, of the Philippine Islanders work for the CIA of the United States, the Central Intelligence Agency of the United States, and the Navy of the United States (The USN), in particular and especially the USMC.

    If the Philippine Islander and Islanders have no qualms or problems picking up Machine Guns, Tommy Guns and M-16s, which he, she and they do and does not, against you the Chinese Citizens (the years 1951 to 1975); why

    Why would you the Chinese Citizens, including that of Hong Kong, actually let him, let her or let them sleep at your own home and homes, and house and houses, even in Hong Kong?!

    I am, and one is, not, NOT, saying what I do or one does do; but all, ALL, of Philippine Islanders in Hong Kong are, ARE, American Spies and Secret Agents (Why, WHY, else do you think the USN is and are so eager to send it and their gun-boats to Hong Kong?!). Even heard of “Sleepers”?!

  14. The Philippine peoples are very poor who do not have much ‘excitement’ in there lives. A photo opportunity, however wrong, is merely a wish to be associated with a famous event that happened in their country (Very rare). They acted in ignorance and innocence – as with many poor people of the world, they want to have something to tell there friends/relatives and future children -
    ‘We were there, when it [The awful tragedy] happened.
    The majority of the Philippine people prayed for the Chinese who died are are deeply hurt by the aftermath.
    However the police photograph is more damaging and adds more embarrassment to a botched operation.
    The hostage situation manual always calls for calm and patience but when a shot is fired – the hostage should have been ‘taken out!’ Harsh Lessons will have to be learned. More training AND PR is urgently required.
    Free ‘stand-by’ flights and very reduced hotel rates should be offered to all HK passport holders, to show that the majority of Philippines are very nice and peaceful people.
    This was an isolated. unfortunate, ‘wrong place- wrong time’ situation that could have happened to ANY Nation – ANYWHERE in the World.

    1. 江苏省苏州市网友:

    [Taking photos] To remember what? To remember Chinese people being killed, or the Philippines failure? Inhuman!!!

    WHAT IS INHUMAN IN TAKING PHOTOGRAPH OF THE BUS?

    2. 四川省成都市网友:

    From the Filipino police smiling and taking photos, what we see is a lack of humanity! To be blunt: Just a bunch of creatures worse than pigs and dogs!!!

    IS THE PHOTO OF THE BUS WORSE THAN PIGS AND DOGS? OR THE NOTION OF REFERRING SUCH TO THE FILIPINO?

    3. 青海省西宁市网友:

    No conscientious, self-respecting Chinese person should go to this trash country for tourism, buy products made by this trash country, or hire the people of this trash country.

    ARE YOU REFERRING TO THE CHINESE SUB-STANDARD PRODUCTS OR PIRATED PRODUCTS? FOR SURE DRUGS COMING FROM YOUR COUNTRY ARE NOT SUB-STANDARD, THAT’S THE ONLY PRODUCTS YOUR COUNTRY ALSO PERFECTED.

    4. 重庆市网友:

    Just what kind of country is this???!!! The Philippines! Treating life as cheap! Not taking things seriously! Strongly condemn the Philippine government and those nonchalant police and the insensitive bystanders!!! Strongly condemn and protest!!!

    YOU’RE BLATANTLY MISTAKEN. THE REASON WHY THE ORDEAL DURING THE HOSTAGE TAKING PROLONG IS DUE TO THE LIVES INVOLVED IN THE INCIDENT, THE VICTIM AND THE PERPETRATOR.

    5. 北京市网友:

    Think of it from another angle: Their generation is a generation of servants, so this incident will probably give their base psychology a kind of satisfaction.

    REMEMBER, YOUR COUNTRY HAVE EMPEROR BEFORE, THEREFORE, YOU ARE A GENERATION OF SERVANT.

    6. 浙江省台州市网友:

    The Philippine president is inhuman, the police even more so, and even the ordinary common Filipinos are likewise callous. This kind of callous country deserves to be destroyed!
    My heartfelt condolences to the Hong Kong victims! We are all Chinese people, and at this moment, everyone’s heart is heavy!

    MISPLACED… WHAT IS THE INVOLVEMENT OF THE PRESIDENT IN THIS? YOU FELT SORROW TO THE VICTIM BY INSULTING A NATION..? NO LOGIC…

    7. 广东省深圳市宝安区网友:

    They essentially did not see the Chinese hostages as people! If the hostages were people of other countries, the result wouldn’t have been like this. Angry, angry???

    TELL THAT TO THE SURVIVORS…

    8. 安徽省网友:

    Filipinos are a bunch of inhuman cold-blooded animals.

    AND YOU ARE. FOR RIDING ON THE EVENT THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU BUT RATHER WANT TO MAKE AN INSULTING OPINION, FOR YOUR OWN BENEFIT. YOU ARE A LEECH…

  16. You guys are just ****ing!!! You know why??? Cause if u where the Filipino Police would you solve it??? Properly without anyone died??? thats my question……

  17. All you idiots saying Filipinos are cold blooded inhuman are plain ignorant. Why the hell would you point the finger on a WHOLE RACE… Not all Filipinos are the same, just the swat and government that’s corrupt, Filipinos overseas have family values and work hard, and you put them in the same category as the police? I’m not surprised most haters are other Asians since you always like to discriminate…funny how you used this incident to take a cheap shot at all Filipinos, proves your just plain racist.
    Nice the Chinese government uses this propaganda to hide their own mistakes, example replacing a young girl singing the Olympics because she’s abit ugly? Seems you like to keep your “reputation” intact, and bullying Tibet?, I can go on, the fact is your not so innocent yourself.
    Before you start attacking a whole race, think before you make an ass of yourself.
    The people who took the photos are retards but don’t classify them with the other Filipinos.
    Hypocrites!!!

  18. It’s been a while now, but haven’t their gov’t made any statement regarding the behavoir of the police and locals taking these photos?

    They should had tracked those in the photos down and made them apologise publicly. Under the threat of torture if necessary

  19. FOR THE CHINESE PEOPLE SPECIALLY FOR THOSE WHO LOST THEIR LOVE ONCE IN THIS TOUR BUS. I’M I MAY ONLY BE ONE MAN TO STEP UP TO THIS BUT I ALSO FEEL THE SHAME THAT MY PEOPLE HAVE DONE IN THIS EVENT. I MAY NOT BE ONE OF MY PEOPLE’S INHUMAN ACTION BUT I DO FEEL THE ANGER TOWARDS THEM AND THE GOVERNMENT. I DO APOLOGIZE FOR MY PEOPLE’S MALEVOLENT ACTION TOWARDS THIS HORRIFIC EVENT. I HATE MY OWN PEOPLE FOR THIS AND I WISH THE SAME THING AS FOR THOSE WHO FEEL THE ANGER; TO JUST DROP 5 NUCLEAR BOMBS INTO PHILIPPINES AND OBLITERATE EACH AND ONE OF THEM SO THAT THEY CEASE TO EXIST IN THIS PLANET. IN ALL MY LIFE I NEVER SAW ANYTHING LIKE THIS BUT MY PEOPLE. I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS. FUCK THOSE BYSTANDERS WHO MADE THIS CATASTROPHIC EVENT INTO AN AMUSEMENT SIGHT. I HOPE SOMEDAY YOU ALL DIE IN SLOW PAINFUL DEATH…

  20. Who the fuck cares about Filo or China’s religion? The fact that the Police smile in the photos that represent the Fillipino Government is a direct insult to the Chinese people and how poor they handle the situation. Where the snipers took out 3 Hong Kong people and one got killed by a sledge hammer. That’s more kills than the guy who took the HK people hostage!

    The funny thing is that how many people who are from the Phils are insulting our culture and our country and are just defending how awesome their country really is.

    Good luck with that, there won’t be much tourism to your country after what just took place.

  21. what a shame. sympathies from greece to the families of the victims and people of hong kong/china. The police posing for photos were really insensitive and stupid, they should be dealt with, as for the locals, shame on them. They tend to child-like and stupid. shame.
    i was just there, and i enjoyed my stay, but such things harden me to the insanity going on there.

    • I am Filipino and please don’t blame all the locals here in the Philippines because not all of us would want our pictures to be taken there. Please try not to be narrow-minded.

  22. i never said filipinos weren’t ignorant. when i was in the 1st grade in the 1990s, we were taught about the negritos or negros. i’m not saying filipinos don’t know what nigger means. i’m sure a lot of them don’t know the depth of the word, though. they don’t get how insulting and derogatory it actually is. it’s like how ppl throw around the word “fag” and “retard” without knowing that in some places, you can get beaten up for calling people that. i really can’t think of a word that can be as insulting to the filipino culture. i find that people ‘insult’ each other all the time anyways but it’s just a game to them. no hurt feelings. i dont see how indios could be insulting.

  23. To the Hongkong and PRC People:

    You hate the Filipino people for the hostage fiasco that unfortunate incident that went out of control at the end. This was a hostage situation that was under control and which netted 7 Chinese tourists to be released upon the efforts of our policemen.

    You appear and sound sanctimonious and have even stepped upon our sovereignty. You have demanded apology, the moon and the heavens. You hate the Filipino people as if we wanted this unfortunate incident to happen. First and foremost, we offer our condolences to the families of the 8 that were killed in this incident. Secondly, we are sorry for the bungled handling of this hostage taking. It was unfortunate, it was an accident, we never planned it that way. Is it fair to blame a whole nation for a situation that was never planned?

    Let me ask you this question, “Should we hate you also for the lead poisoning caused by the paint you used in your baby furniture and toys for the children of the world, Should we hate you also for the use of cardboard in the “siopao” that you sell to tourists? Should we hate you also for the melamine contamination wherein not 8, but hundreds, maybe even thousands have suffered and some even died?

    Or, let us talk of Filipino casualties. A few years ago, 3 Filipino tourists, all surnamed Madrigal, a family of 5 were walking on Tienemen Square and Beijing. One Chinese stabbed the father and two of his children, killing all three. Were you even sorry for what this one Chinese did? Did the Filipino people even demand that China apologized for this unfortunate incident. This was PRE-MEDITATED MURDER.

    Just as the use of lead, cardboard, melamine was pre-meditated – used because they were cheaper materials, in order to generate PROFITS for the Chinese businessman. Did you pay damages the same way you are demanding damages from the Filipino nation and people.

    Where was the anger of the Chinese and Hongkong people? Did you even apologize to the world? My God in the case of melanine, you even kept this information from the world, until you were exposed for what you are!!!

    Enough! We symphatize but don’t blame the Filipino people.

    So you want to send our OFWs home, that take care of your children? They play an important part in your lives. Both spouses are able to work, earn money because of the tender loving care being heaped on your children by Filipino maids and yayas/amahs. While you pay our OFWs for the work they do, you earn more for the love and care they bestow on your children. Go ahead, send our OFWs home. Let us see how that will affect your family incomes.

    Enough!

  24. I agree that the way the Philippine ppl tried saving the hostages was bad but you people have no right to criticise them like this.. you ppl killed so many xingjiang ppl, you don’t care about them… you ppl are nothing but a pile of shit.. go and fuc* ur mothers with your small dirty dicks… you pigs… you are nothing.. i’m not frm filipines!!! but i hate u ppl.. can’t think abt the wrong that u do…

  25. Quit your crying chinese people… so what… I am American and I had my picture taken at the sight where 9 11 happened in NY… it means nothing… someone gets these pictures and puts it on your website to stir your emotions up and now the whole country must go down because of it? You are no better than the supposed evil filipinos you are condemning because of harmless pictures, no doubt taken out of context… you are all pathetic

  26. @ Steve Hunter

    Since you’ve been living in the Philippines for 10 years, you’d probably understand this.. PUTANGINA MO KANG CHEKWA KA!!! MAMATAY KA NA!!! IKAW AT ANG PAMILA MO!!! GAGO!!!

    cheers!

  27. Some comments from “those” people from wherever they are, showed and concluded and generalizing Filipino people by calling names and looking down Filipino citizens. Yes Filipino people work as servants in differnet places in the world but it doe’snt mean that Filipinos are pig or uncivilize. Filipinos are smart, acquired degree/s, well educated and working hard because Philippines is a poor country, no much industries like rich countries. You are lucky that your country is rich and you are lucky that Filipinos can serve you or else your houses are more than a pig’s house whom nobody taking care of. Besides don’t generalize Filipinos. Only few people are responsible to what happened. It doe’snt to do with the whole Philippines. Onnozelaars!!!!

  28. is this the attitude of chinese people???? how shameful!!
    as i read the comments of these chinese guys, they are so illogical… not compared with filipino comments which they are really aware.
    hey people, if you post something…be logical!!!
    just to clarify something:
    if i killed 1 guy in your country, don’t tell me you’ll blame my whole country for this………for what reason are you condeming the whole country??? BE RATIONAL AND BE LOGICAL YOU CHINESE PEOPLE (but im not saying all the chinese but only to those who hate the filipinos)….!!!

    as for the filipinos, learn how to respect a place where there is tragedy ok??? in your culture, maybe it’s normal but i can’t blame you people,…But 1st thing of all, learn how to respect…
    and 1 more thing, i appreciated some of the filipinos because they know how to make themselves humble and know the mistake…..keep it up!!

  29. I don’t want to give them frickin time to heal, I’m sick of all the racist and mean things the Chinese are saying about us Filipinos! Ever heard of the Madrigal Family Murder in China back in 2005?? I don’t know why those people are taking pictures but just because they are doesn’t mean we all would want to do it! Our country is not trash. I hope the Chinese get over it and I hope they know we Filipinos are embarrassed about how it was poorly handled. I just wish they would stop hating EVERYONE from the Philippines. START THINKING!!!

  30. We know that the hostage taking was awful. It killed 8 of hong kong citizens. It was Rolando Mendoza’s fault. Government and policemen lacked cf proper handling with this incident so as taking pictures of some filipinos that were there at that particular time. But do you still remember that there were many times that other country’s raped, tortured and murdered filipinos? How was that? And the melamine that found in more Chinese-made food products that killed a hundreds of people specially children? Now, think about what are you all saying. No one in the philippines wanted that incident to happen. We’re all worried for those tourist because of crazy mendoza. Philippines were sorry. Stop saying stupid stuffs as if you know trully of us.

  31. the chinese in hong kong treat the filipino like trash, and totally inhumane. guess they needed to teach the chinese a lesson.

  32. im a filipino please understand me the philippine police is bunch of craps likas na sa mga pilipino ang makakapal ang mukha (mentally retarded) pagnatangal sa trabaho magtatampo ang pilipino at magaamok yan at manghohostage

  33. fuck you all!! always remember that many died because of CHINESE MELAMINE-CONTAMINATED MILK!! ASSHOLE!!

  34. I know :> Filipinos = Igonorant

  35. Filipinos are not trash. The mistake of several Filipinos should not be blamed on the entire Filipino population. We also felt the pain and anguish caused by these pictures and the bus hostage crisis itself. Please do not generalize us.

  36. who are any of you to complain you know how many foreigners are intimidated in this country and then the way you treat your women. underground slave domination chambers in Nanjing, constant prostitution, and you steal intellectual property from other countries, don’t pay for your entertainment just thieve it for free! if you actually paid for everything you have in this country you would be broke! I am tired of this superiority shit from chinese PEOPLE! remember people are people, and if you haven’t lived in the philippines then dont judge it! Chinese people complain more than they do anything! example in the west we dont bitch we beat people, but here in china you will argue like drunk girls at 12 at night loud as hell because your too scared to get your asses beat!

  37. I am a Filipina and what the college students did sickened many of us. I cried for what happened during this hostage killing. The tourists shouldn’t have died. I am angry still for those idiots who were supposed to save many lives but were too coward to do so. The military offered help because they are more trained compared to those police officers who handled the case. But there were some kind of conflict between the two departments and they refused to accept the help right away and asked for the military to stand by. I can only apologize in behalf of our countrymen.

    I saw these pictures before and it made me furious. I do believe these kids are not having a good college life simply because many Flipinos hate them now for what they did. I pity them. They did not have the better judgment. What they did was wrong. But I do believe they regret it now knowing how it affected their country and their race.

    I am against racism. I grew up with different kinds of nationalities as a child. My mother works abroad and every year I visit her and spend some time meeting different nationalities in her company. I used to play with the CEO’s kids too. My mother taught and raised me well. She would always remind me about respect. My father is a Chinese-German but he died even before I was a year old. I was born and grew up in the Philippines. I can say I am a Filipino by heart even though I have mixed roots.

    What Calvin said is true. Many of my countrymen like taking photos of every memorable scene there is. Sometimes, it gets too overboard.

    I fully understand why Chinese people hate my countrymen. Still, I apologize and I will keep praying for your country’s forgivenes.

    May Filipinos also died in foreign lands but many of us has accepted it and learned to forgive. Only if the whole world can learn to respect and accept one another can there only be peace.

  38. Filipino are like the mexicans of asia

  39. Not all filipinos are trash so dont insult all of us and our country. I know some of our people are disrespectful but every country has shameful people like that. So you should blame only those people who act disrespectful instead of blaming our whole country. What about you guys? Even chinese people has worst events than that. As you can see there is so many crazy news from China here in this website. Some of them are so bad. So what I am trying to say is that you dont have to go say thing like “that trash country / those pigs”, etc. Some of the good people in our country are hurt by those comments. I know our goverment and country has many bad sides but still its bad not to consider the feelings of other people. Some of the people are really trying to improve our country and improve our morals. You guys just saw the bad side but you havent seen the good side so I appreciate if you guys can stop insulting all of the filipinos. And by the way sorry for my bad english and grammar.

  40. The Filipino Police were extremely slow in their takeover of this bus and thereby resulted in unnecessary casualities and injuries. I attribute most of this due to their lack of training and proper equipment. To make a bad situation worse, they are out there like it’s a tourist attraction snapping photos with smiles. Ah, I think there’s something wrong here.

  41. Interesting is that the same, nationalistic Chinese that get so upset here because of bad Filipino behavior (Hey! Wake up, Hong Kongers really feel like 2 systems and not 1 country), nowadays are celebrating the death of tens of thousands of Japanese civilians. These Chinese are in no way different then the Japanese troops that killed and raped in Nanjing and all their high morality here seems totally misplaced.

  42. You people are completely biased because you’re emotionally tied to what happened there. Consider that people take photos in front of the World Trade Center ruins all the time. They’re not mocking the people who died there on 9/11. They’re just taking photos because that area has become a scene of interest. It’s funny that you insult the President of the Philippines, when in fact he’s of Chinese descent. All of the racism here disgusts me, and shows just how xenophobic and arrogant the Chinese people can be. (I’m from Australia, and I’m neither of Chinese or Filipino heritage.) There is a danger in nationalism that you people need to acknowledge.

  43. oh you numbskulls, disrespecting you is not even enough to pay off the terrible things that you have done in our country,you over reacting homos!!!! how dare you call us servants!! If china will be an english speaking country its because of the Filipinos!!!! put that in your china made brains!!!

  44. FUCKING LAZY FILIPINO DICKHEADS THIS IS THE SO CALLED FILIPINO PRIDE, THEY HAVE NO HONOR THEY SAY THEY ARE A CATHOLIC COUNTRY, WELL THEY ARE HYPOCRITES. Lazy dumbfuckers slaves and bitches of the American and other westerners.

  45. WERE ALL Asian!!! (Meaning:If you have Asian Blood)
    The Philippines are in Asia if born there or with Filipino blood you are Asian!!
    Please Don’t Hate the Philippines.Were just a poor society and over polluted with Terrorists.
    You should know that Before the Spaniards and Magellan came to the Philippines Chinese were living in the Philippines. Many of them. But then everything went into Chaos so then the US hid the fact that the Chinese were in the Philippines so that Chaos won’t break again.So please Don’t hate us i Beg you. I’m only half Filipino and half american. But it breaks my heart with all these arguments.So please don’t hate us.Support the Philippines so that were all Healed from our wounds.Even though im part Filipino i am not careless or dumb.I’m Smart and i fight strong even though im a cry baby i still want to become tough and protect the ones closest to me. So please Don’t Hate the Philippines!! Q_Q it breaks my heart (even if im half filipino)

  46. Yes but do americans go to the WTC site and smile and pose while at the site of many peoples deaths?

  47. Only on Chinasmack do you have the dregs of Western societies somehow twisting even this situation to bash the Chinese.

  48. I’ve seen plenty of pictures of people smiling at the WTC site in NYC. It’s a pretty good example of how racism twists your thinking — nobody would think twice about a bunch of white people smiling at the WTC site because they’re probably smiling for some other reason, like they are used to doing it in photographs, or someone was saying thing, or whatever. If an Arab looking man was smiling in photographs there, you know damn well some people would be up in arms about it, even if he was the photographer in the pictures of the white people and changed positions a minute later.

    If there were ethnic Chinese people smiling in photographs of this bus, then I’m sure the reaction would be a lot more muted. People would think things like: are they stupid? Was it accidental for them to smile, or to catch a smile in the picture? Is something else going on? Show Filipinos smiling, and ethnic Chinese will assume the worst.

    It does look really bad though. Why are they smiling in front of a shot-up bus? The WTC site is a heavily trafficked area in one of the biggest cities in the world, not a temporary murder scene that has its access limited by police. WTF is wrong with these people?

  49. In some cases, probably, and that means they’re either idiots or massive douche-bags. In both cases, it’s a reflection of their own stupidity, not an attack on the nation.

  50. About the smile thing, I saw it on TV the Philippine president smiled too at the news conference. He seems like can not help it. I understand if some Taliban smiled and posed at Ground zero or US solider smiled and posed next to Iraq prisoners…..

    If it is not genetic thing why Philippine likes to smile at Chinese tragedies then there might be some hatred in Philippine people.

    We will be definitely sure if Philippine people really hate Chinese, when Philippine people turn the bus into a Chinese take-out with name like “HK hell’s kitchen” and feature dishes like “8BQ HK peanuts in bass”.

  52. no! you got the wrong idea. As i can see, base on the news, those bus windows are break at night, maybe 6 or something like that. And those people who are took in the morning, it was a day after.So, while they took the pictures, the hostage incident is already done, its only the bus was left on the scene.

    Filipinos are not inhuman. Maybe some BOT NOT ALL, again, please dont generalize.

  53. Alan no longer in China

    Even though it’s been 9 years people still get up in arms about the WTC (Mosque anyone?) But this is clearly in extremely poor taste, especially the police. Taking pictures of the bus is one thing, hell, I’d do that. But smiling and posing in them? That just seems like blatant disrespect.

  54. FYI the philippine president is part chinesse.

  55. That’s how the Philippine President was.. you see, it’s an in-deliberate act coz some people appears smiling when they talk without knowing it.. You Chinese appears smiling when you talk coz that’s the way you speak… BUT WHAT MAKES IT AN ISSUE??? ITS IRRELEVANT… DO YOU WANT THE ENTIRE RACE TO CRY FOR THE LOSS OF THE OTHERS? ARE FORCING THE FILIPINO TO BE SAD? IT DOESN’T MAKE SENSE..

    You used to interact anything the Filipino are doing to be against Chinese while in truth and in fact is that this is merely your way to express your RACIAL ACT.. you use the situation to have alibi to DISCRIMINATE THE FILIPINOS.. THAT THE FACT…

  56. If it where ethnic Chinese smiling and posing for the camera in front of this bus, I would be even more offended. Sometimes two groups of people just don’t get along. Maybe different cultures react differently. These are all explanations I can understand.

    Smiling at the tragedy of your own countrymen, that would be something I cannot stand.

    An analogy would be having students posing all smiles in front of a shot-up classroom where a school shooting just happened recently.

  57. what an unsightly creature indeed !

  58. Filipinos just take photos of ANYTHING, ANYWHERE, ANYTIME like you and I. Like Calvin said, it’s kind of a culture thing

  59. having a good time on it jones? sadist

  60. I dont think he knows that.

  61. @Anthony – i don’t think you know what your talking about.

  62. Abnoy Aquino is also part retarded and part Filipina.

  63. Which part? His wanger?

  64. You are making your own problem by thinking that we only laugh/smile at the Chinese tragedies. Please do not be narrow minded as what you are doing right now. it’s like saying “why do Chinese people make such substandard products and yet feel proud of it even when it harms not only their babies(melamin) but also the world”

    come to think of it. your not the only ones affected by the situation. if you can’t bear us smiling not because we don’t sympathize, like what our president did, then stop looking. You’re just making it hard for you.

  65. Thank you for speaking what’s in my brain. It’s a culture thing. Being a culture lover, it’s sad to see two authentic ethnics fighting because of misunderstanding.

  66. Speaking of plane crash, an idiot Chinese pilot missed a landing and killed some Chinese passengers. Now thats stupid.

  67. The plane crash happened in Siberia, and no one in general laughed about it being because the Polish were corrupt. There is an absolute disconnect there, and only a moron like you could imagine a connection, BlackOreo. The cheap products that the world has enjoyed has been built on the backs of low worker wages, but even that is already starting to change for the better, as seen in the manufacturing towns in southern China. Greedy Chinese businessmen, you say? To name a good example of cost-benefits, an iPod that sells for $200+ outside China pays less than $10 in wages and taxes to its Chinese subcontractor. So who are the “greedy businessmen,” the multinational companies like Apple or the Chinese subcontractors to whom they pay a pittance? Get your facts straight and your head out of your ass, biatch.

  68. Introspective? The issue is plain and simple. People are lashing out at such a tasteless act. Gawking at the site of an accident is quite different from taking souvenir photos and smiling in them, especially if you’re the police. Racist bitch.

  69. Blast from the past, I worked in Tianjin, Beijing and Shenzhen for a couple of years before transferring to Kuala Lumpur and finally Manila. I speak fluent Mandarin. What was that you were saying about my arse? Oh, yeah, you could open your mouth near it when I blow it all out. Ignorant douchebag homo.

  70. Well now I’ll leave it to a loser like you to turn it into something personal. Tsk-tsk. If you need me to explain what about your first comment was racist, then you really need more brain cells to start with. Now you’re accusing ME of expat rage? I challenge you to find any comment I made in this entire page that is anti-Filipino. Go ahead, dimbulb, take a closer look at everything I wrote. Those I pointed out were societal ills (like cultural insensitivity) and systemic ills (like police ineptitude and corruption). BUT at no point did I ever make racist, blanket condemnations on the entire Filipino race or nation. No country deserves that, not even the hellhole Somalia.

    And no, I’m typing these after work hours, so I’m not stealing company time. Obviously you feel threatened enough by resumes much longer and better-looking than yours. Poor sap.

  71. Well I’m not surprised that after being embarrassed on your comment about me not knowing shit about China, you’re resorting to comedy to brush it off. Nothing reasonable can come out of a debate with you, asswipe. If you need me to tell you what part of your first comment was an indictment of ALL Chinese, and was therefore racist, you definitely need to take a breather from posting online and get some brain cell implants before going on.
    Take a close look at everything I posted. Not once have I ever made a blanket condemnation of the Philippines or Filipinos. What I did was point out societal ills (like cultural insensitivity) and systemic ills (like police corruption and ineptitude). And you call it expat rage. Have you ever lived here? If you have, have you ever gotten shaken down for money by cops or government officials? In my line of work, you gotta deal with lousy excuses for human beings a lot. I’m not saying it’s exclusive to the Philippines, I’m just saying it’s one of the things that this country has to solve. You gotta be sick in the head to comment so strongly on things you don’t know jackshit about. So after being debated point-by-point, you resort to childish personal attacks (blowing my boss? Nah, impossible. My immediate superior’s a woman). And yes, this was typed after work hours. But any further attention on your inane retorts would really be a waste of time.

  72. Blast's Boyfriend Steven

    Pardon the similar postings. Browser freezed the first time around.

  73. Ranty? You obviously can’t read more than 5 sentences long. As such, I do not expect an intelligent retort from you. Somebody’s parents left their home computer on again….

  74. No less stupid is the Filipino pilot who flew his Cebu Pacific plane into a mountainside after an unauthorized stopover in a provincial airport to pick up hitchhikers who were friends of his.

  75. May GOD bless you…..after all

  76. Like I said earlier, “uneducated provincial barbarian scum.”

  77. @ Steve Hunter

    My comment’s a bit late, but hats off to you, man, for standing your ground. :)

    I understand your point, and I don’t think any of it is racist. I mean, we indeed have a really incompetent police force, and a generally incompetent government. Your pointing out these *facts* doesn’t have the racial undertones some people here are insisting on.

    The sad thing about everything revolving around this incident is that we have displayed an inability to swallow the bitter pill? That is why I almost have no hope that we would learn from this tragedy. It’s only when we stop acting like an onion-skinned nation and start understanding the true context of the backlash we’re getting from the botched hostage rescue that we can begin fixing our nation’s problems, be those political or cultural problems. I remember this incident many years ago when an American(?) said that Filipinos have a damaged culture, and our government (and many Filipinos, at that) reacted so strongly against that comment instead of looking inward to understand why such an observation was made by a foreigner. So now, we still have a damaged culture. :(

  78. well, i guess that’s what make them so ignorant. no common sense.

  79. c’mon man, everyone takes pictures everywhere that’s nothing new or special from your contry -.- that doesn’t have anything to do with culture, you think we were born yesterday? the problem is that in those pictures they seem way too happy. Yeah as i said before what would you feel if your family were killed abroad and you see the people from that country taking pictures smiling there, yeah you gonna tell me you understand that because you are filipino? ha.

  80. Well RAASDF, everybody have something to learn on even the wisest men on Earth…Who are you anyway to say that they are ignorant?…Are you the Almighty?…Before you judge someone or everbody, care to look your face in the mirror and find yourself asking what have you done good to these people to accused them…

  81. mr.. please watch your language.. you should never condemned every filipinos by one man’s mistake.. i think,by the way you react,you are much ignorant than us.. open up your mind sir.. just try it,it’ll never hurt..

  82. you are right Phil.. besides you people have a bigger problem when it comes to morality and it only means that Philippines is being observed by many people all over the world..

  83. Yes, why accused everyone for some few people mistakes. Those people here who said some bad words or racially discriminated all Filipinos and the Philippines, who do you think you are? Are you all that perfect anyway? Who bring illegal drugs here in the Philippines? All are Chinese but we never insult them because we have Chinese sisters and brothers also. And many of us have Chinese blood also. Many of the products here came from China and HK. So don’t sell your products in the Philippines so that Filipinos will buy our own products. You are just showing the world how ill-mannered you are. Filipinos have been a hostage victims in some part of Africa but we never said anything bad about African people. We never insult those who wronged us. Look on yourself first of how you behave before you insult others. If you don’t like to go in the Philippines, we don’t mind anyway. Filipinos have become travelers that we ourselves travel around our country even around the world.

  84. Yang Xin Hong (aka Xin Lian Mao)

    right guys! The world were not just observing the Philippines about this hostage tragedy issue, but also China as well. As we can see on how Chinese people comment on this issue, obviously they’re more inhuman than the Filipinos are. Their comments reflect their personalities!

    [Note from Fauna: Please do not pretend to be multiple people.]

  85. Hello everyone, Phillipine just throw some further insults at Chinese. They cover the bus hijacker’s coffin with a Phillipine national flag. May be we need a new round of Smacks?

  86. Hey! PING maybe you failed to watched the recent NEWS for your information the hostagetaker coffin no longer have a Philippine National Flag on it…You make yourself difficult about the situation…why don’t you check it out …use telescope so that you can see it clearly.

  87. A Philippine politician just opened his smart mouth on the “national flag cover hijacker’s coffin” incident, a insult to dead Hong Kong tourists.

    Basically, he thinks the Philippine national flag can be used in Philipine style which the national flag not only reserved for their national heroes but also can be rewarded to criminals.

    Take a look what’s going on in their mind and how they think.

  88. well that’s DEMOCRACY for YOU guys… They can take any pictures, If I was there I will take a lot of pics with my DSLR, Who published these pics? it’s your OWN PEOPLE, what’s the purpose? I guess to INCENERATE MORE HATRED on The Philippines, I’m From Sharjah, UAE, I’m a Palestinian who works with Filipinos, Indians and even Chinese, but these article is ridiculous, the writer should think on the consideration for all races, those are personal pictures, taken on a cellphone… but it’s your OWN people who publish it on the internet…

  89. 其实我们(菲律宾)也无意侮辱华人,菲律宾国旗是从政府不要从一个不知名的人把它给了门多萨家庭不知道,这是一个错误,在我代表我们国家的人真的很抱歉,我不能责怪恨的一些警察和学生谁拍你的愚蠢,

  90. its non of your business if we cover rolandos coffin with flag.. it is a tradition here in philippines.. every police men,mitary,any one that served the goverment should be honored what ever the person did.. its away to thank the person for his service.. idiot

    [Note from Fauna: Please do not pretend to be different people.]

  91. Jones doesn’t have no noggin, he doesn’t know any better than to be an ignorant prick. Lord rid us from Jones…! A fridge suddenly falling from the sky on him would do!

  92. i guess you can’t read between lines.
    yes, those are personal pictures in which people are SMILING after someone DIED inside that bus. But who cares if they uploaded that here? that pictures have been uploaded to the internet by the owners, even published on the internet news, so what?? so what you gonna say? if they post one picture another doesn’t have the right to use it? well, excuse me, but if they uploaded and published they must be aware that ANYONE can use those pictures (if not, then they have more than a problem).
    Tell me, is that something you should take such that kind of pictures? and what’s worst, smiling? Tell me, what’s so freakin funny or cool that makes them smile?
    So how about someone had killed your family abroad and then you see the people from that country taking pictures smiling there, just like if it was another normal landscape, would you feel the same? i guess not, so can you please think the words before opening your mouth? thanks

  95. To HK people. Big apology for the tragic events. Nobody likes what happened. Im a Filipino, raced fairly and practicing professionalism. To blame filipino policemen responded on that crisis was fair, but to generalized the entire PH country was not, also not fair to called filipinos are trash, filipino servants there in HK are poor filipinos trying to live fairly and want to survive their families to be able to provide a bright future for them, despite the distance to their loveones. Im an Engineer, my company sent me and travelled HK to deal a machines buy-off for our company, HK is a great country. no doubt!, HK Engineers treated me fair and professional. I went to the nearest mall for lunch, i heard some womens speaking PH language, i approach them and join their conversation. Weve got good times and share how life treatin us. Some of them was almost 10 years serving a Chinese BusinessMen, some were newly and some were planning to go back to PH because they’ve earned enough money to start a small business. As i introduced about my self and why am there, one said, her two sons were also taking up Engineering Course same with my profession, others, their daughter is currently taking up medicine. Bottom line was, although they were just servant of your people, they are trying very hard to send their love ones to school for them to have good future to be able to lift-up from poverty. I dont believed they treat in HK as Trashed, they supposed to be called precious for their sacrifice. Maybe i am speaking too far but i’m not happy for what i’ve read as i dropped by in this site. This incident happens everywhere, some was a success…some was a failure, just like what happened. but all success was came from failure. So sad that lots of HK people died in this failure. On behalf of my country men…We are very sorry for what happened, specially for the families of victims, even though i cant precisely figure out what you felt, but deep inside of me, that was painful. For my sign of sympathy, I will proposed to our company to wear a black shirts on that day of tragic events annually and to be declared that day as a “Day of Mourning”.
    To all my fellow Pinoy, please stop responding sarcastically, They were just expressing their feelings, i know you are expressing yours too but that is not a healthy expressions. Just say sorry instead. Like one of filipino sayings”kapag pinukol ka ng bato, gantihan mo ng tinapay”.

    Also, i would like to leave some comments on the picture taking on the crime scene. Not for being because im a filipino to leave a positive comments, but taking up picture with smile on their face is normal for us a filipino, not only from that scene but everywhere as long as there is a camera exposed. when someone takes out a camera, we are compressing and smiling to have better picture outcome. Even if you’ll try to browse some pictures of aftermath tragic natural events in the PH, you’ll see some filipino keep smilin despite the crisis.
    They dont meant to give any offensive reactions. “If you smile when no one else is around, you really mean it” But they exposed, so they didnt meant it.
    PEACE TO ALL….

  96. All this blind Philippine nationalism is disgusting. Once a jolog always a jolog.

  97. Don’t worry, let’s just forgive and forget. When I saw the pics, I was really heartbroken because I feel for the victims. But after reading some of the sensible comments from the Filipinos, I get to see their understanding from their perspective.

    Instead of getting angry over what has happened, let’s take this as a lesson so that such mistakes will never be repeated.

  98. Quite ridiculous, because I thought only Chinese take photo of anything, really anything a little less “grey” as the rest. Even when they see a foreigner, immidiately want to take picture. When see caged animal… snip snap…

    Now I see that more asian nations are similarly damaged.

  99. I agree. No country is perfect. Badmouthing each other is useless.

  100. When a group of people, in this case the Chinese, resorts to de-humanizing another group by calling them “dogs” “pigs” and “monkeys” it is a travesty to humanity to sit idle and do nothing.
