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.

江苏省苏州市网友:

[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.

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.

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.

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. once you start pointing out the faults in others, your own faults will come out in two fold.

    if you won’t stop blaming, calling us names, and insulting us,
    you in return will be called twice as much names and all your people’s dirt be dug out.

    be rational guys.

    relax now and don’t ignore the opinions and advices of people all over the world who are saying that this kind of tragedy happens all over and that other people’s reaction to those tragedies have not always been welcoming.

    Thank you…

    • Good one Pepper. Now I wonder why Richard or Steven Hunter has nothing to reply to this post of yours? I’m not picking a fight here, but I do notice a kind of bias going on here in favor of the HK/Chinese. Oh, and before anyone starts insulting me here, I’m half Chinese and half Filipino. More than half of my circle of friends are pure Chinese who are living here in the Philippines. I like your posts, Pepper, they’re mostly non-confrontative and rational.

    • I must’ve missed out on Pepper’s post. But if you read my posts, you’ll see that I’ve more than once complemented a certain “Lyn” on her intelligent and level-headed posts. Lyn apologized for the fiasco (which, given her standing as a citizen, wasn’t really necessary), but also admonished the rest of Pinoys and HKers to stay calm and reasonable. Most of the scumbags on this thread are neither. With regards to bashing, I only posted my viewpoint on Pinoy racism because some folks were starting to take on a victim mentality despite the government’s horrific ineptitude. And what do I get? Folks labelling me anti-Filipino and all sorts of laughable crap, including accusations that Richard and I are the same person, or that I’m really Chinese disguising as an American. You will not find a smart, well-placed and well-worded response to any of my posts, precisely because the faggots responding to my statements are writing with emotion, not intelligence.( Not that there was any IQ on their part to start with)

  2. This is really funny. If it were me posing in front of the bus, I’d smile too. It wouldn’t be a racial thing, and I wouldn’t mean to be disrespecting anyone. The only thing in my mind will be: “Hey, this bus was on the news! Picture, picture!!!”

    Am I ashamed of the Filipino people? No. Am I ashamed of the Philippine Police? Yes.

  3. The Philippines a “Trash Country” ?!? This was a tragic event and not handled the way it should have been if there were a manual on how to handle such an event but how many tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands have died at the hands of the Chinese Government. Though you same people who blog freely about this would never dare speak of.

    The Philippines has it flaws, but freedom to speak out against Governments inadequacies isn’t one of them. So before you start a hate crusade against the Philippines take a look in your own backyard. This was an isolated incident albeit a very tragic one, and I assure you the common folk here are as devastated by this.

  4. I am Filipino and I am very, very saddened with this event. This was handled terribly, by our media, by our policemen, and by our government. On behalf of them, even if I did not vote for our incompetent president right now, I humbly and respectfully apologize.
    You are right to be angry, let the whole world know how angry you are, and at the same time, we will look and accept our faults, and do the best we can to make sure these can be prevented in the future…
    No one in their right mind would want this to happen to anyone. May the souls of the victims and their loved ones be at peace soon.
    Hopefully sometime in the future, we get to mend our bridges and be good neighbors again.

  5. tigilan na ninyo ang paghingi ng sorry sa mga tao dito,..di mangyayari na huhupa ang galit nila sa gobyerno ng pilipinas dahil makikitid din ang mga utak nang iba dito. ang hk nationals galit na galit sa gobyerno ng pilipinas kaya ang mga ofw ang pinagbalingan nila ng galit.almost hk nationals ang mga katulong sa malaysia at thailand ang kinukuha na nila. iniiwasan na nila ang mga ofw sa pilipinas sa galit nila sa gobyerno. let them alone na, magsikap nalang tayo sa sarili natin. lets move on. wag nyo na sila salungatin lalo pa maglala ang bangayan.

    filipino citizen.

  6. hmmm yeah the girl is a dumbass. it would be equally offensive if someone took a picture of themselves smiling at her relatives funeral. shes obviously just dumb and oblivious to the reality of the situation. no need for racism , tragedy sucks and im sure no one wants tragedy to happen.

  7. 我干你妈的菲狗。

  8. Guys just think of our future, and thats important. Dont recall the past.

  9. I really think Chinese goverment cannot protect their own people ` I hate it!
    We need some people to Change it`
    we need 毛(mao)
    we need gun
    we need blood
    we need solider
    we must use our blood use gun to kill Phillipine

    • okay use your ass too, and eat your shit for your power.
      your stinkiest armpits are the most deadliest weapon in the whole world! and your bad breath hwow! very powerful, more powerful than a biochemical weapon. I wonder why chinese like is still alive..:)

    • You’re worse than the hostage taker.lol.

      • You’re worse than the hostage taker. Go, kill us. Who now would have bad images just because hostages killed in the PHILIPPINES.lol

        • The entire group here are clowns. What a display of stupidity … it is like I hate you .. you hate me … you are fat …No you are fat … I am ugly … you are uglier … Are you people humans or the missing link? You are wasting internet space with all the balderdash

    • What would that accomplish if you kill all Filipinos? Please understand that we also grieve for what happened during the bus hostage crisis. The wrong doings of a few Filipinos do not reflect the entire Filipino nation. Put yourself in our shoes. If it were a couple of Chinese who killed Filipinos and you all get the blame, how would you feel?

  10. the fuckingbullshit philippins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  11. I am a Filipino and I do grieve for the lives lost insensibly when the fateful hijacking happened. But to bunch us with the nincompoops that botched the hostage crisis job is simply wrong.
    I lay blame too on the authorities, and how stupid they blundered on with their work. I am not alone on this, and to this day, we shout for acknowledgement, for justice, for emphathy, for assurance that this shouldnt happen again, and if it does unfortunately, that our authorities should know what to do and not be as stupid to cause senseless loss of lives because of incompetence.
    I feel sorry for the tragedy, as Filipino. It’s embarrasing as it is already. But do not, I implore, box us all in. We may not have the best government right now, but we will live thru it, despite and inspite of it.
    In solidarity.

  12. To all the people of HONGKONG:

    From the bottom of our hearts we are all sorry for what happened….thats it..If you dont want to accept our apology then i guess thats fine with us…But please dont blame all of us for that incident…We know you are in grief right now…
    Stop the harrasment that you are doing to our workers in Hongkong because its not fair for them to be blamed at all…Dont be stupid you know its not their fault..Why hate the Philippines for the hostage taking that only killed a few? The MELAMINE contamination was a lot worst. It killed WAY MORE than the hostage taking. A lot of Filipinos have been abused and/or killed in other countries, but we never banned them..Last 2005 many filipinos were killed in Hongkong, not just 8 but thousands of people affected including minors and innocents by the Melamine & Lead Contamination, the drugs brought by them and a lot more. But us Filipinos didn’t act like so…me of them acted. We didnt hate Hongkong nor all the Hongkonese as a whole because we all know that one person’s act doesnt define the whole nation..
    STOP RACISM….

  13. Chinese deserve it!!

    • down with filipino (aka Richard)

      LIKEWISE FILIPINOS deserve their backwardness and poverty and killer mantality … AN EYE FOR AN EYE

      • hey dude i thought you said you wer this rational person just trying to defend each side, i think your spending too much time here is already messing wth your head.

        • Yes I am …. defending the victim not the killer … please get it right … it was a friend who thought I was too nice to Filipinos and insisted that I go a little overboard … it got your attention … good … don’t worry about my time … I am one of those who surf the net for troublemakers for a living … thanks for your consideration …. I am impressed … I am not sure you have the time to keep up with me though because you seem easily rattled and confused … I hope it does not awaken your dark side … you know Dr. Hyde and Mr.Jekyll … like the policeman … though I have faith in you that you know between right and wrong … good and bad … Good luck in your struggle

    • you bastards of monkeys and spaniards. i swear in the us flips think their shit don’t stink because they fuck 60 year old white men. how about contraception? this is a country ridden by poverty and superstition. if i have a dime for every flip househould who turned their garage into a room because they had too many kids.

    • ANNIHILATE FILIPINOS THAT THERE WOULD BE NO HYBRID RACE IN THIS WORLD, DOWN WITH THE PHILIPPINES AND ITS PEOPLE

      • Chinese Nationalist, you are one fucking retarded punk-ass Chink hiding behind your mother’s computer. Grow up and get a real job, see the world, then realize that not all Filipinos are as bad as you think. And then, go jump off a building because the less people there are who are like you, the better for world peace and harmony. 臭共产猪! (You stinking Communist pig)

        In case you’re wondering, no, I’m not Chinese. But I’ve lived and worked in China before, so I know how filthy you fucking Chinese people could get, with your lack of manners, morals and social mores. Communist assholes!

  14. So you think the people in these pictures represent the entire Philippine population?

  15. Condolences to the Hong Kong/Chinese people..
    After reading some of the comments here, I feel like I’d rather be the insulted rather than be the insulter.
    Rather be called a pig, a dog, a shit, a killer, a criminal, and whatsoever.

    I’m not trying to offend anyone (sorry if ever someone gets offended but), I find it sad that I’m half Chinese. I’d rather be a pure ”stupid Filipino monkey.” I understand that anger is high there because of what happened, but that isn’t a valid reason to insult the whole country. Sure, criticize or insult the president, the police, people who are involved, but, including the people who have nothing to do with it is just plain unreasonable. Nobody wanted this to happen, and the country is already apologizing, but still a lot of people find it necessary to insult people in the Philippines. Why? Is it because the Philippines isn’t as influential or as strong as the US or the UK? Because we’re a weaker country? Is that the reason why some people want to kill all Filipinos, wage war against the country?

    Anyways, just for your information I’m not mad or anything, just wanted to share my thoughts.

    The picture taking in front of the bus is another issue.
    There are a lot of possible reasons for that, however, it’s not proper.

  16. CHINESE DESERVES THIS.. WHY? BECAUSE THEY EAT DEAD FETUS IN ONE OF THE RESTAURANT IN CHINA? DID ALL CHINESE RESPECT THE SACREDNESS OF LIFE? AND ONE THING THEY ARE NUMBER ONE WHO USE DRUGS AND ILLEGAL FAKE GOODS..FUCK ALL CHINESE.. THEY HAVE SMALL BRAINS LIKE THEIR EYES. AND ONE THING THEY EAT FETUS BECAUSE THEY BELIEVED THAT IT ENHANCE THEIR SEX LIFE AND LIFE SPAN. THAT WAS STUPID BELIEF… SUCKS

    • Hey Godffrey … Chinese deserves all these … What about Filipinos, what do they deserve? Respect? lol …

      Sacredness of life? 8 dead tourists or did 8 Filipino tourists died in HK? Where is the sanctity of life again?

      Chinese small brains like their eyes … Are you sure again? The last time I checked Chinese are up there on IQ level and nobel prizes winners etc of course some stupid Chinese too like stupid Filipinos esp you …

      Eyes … not sure about that too? Some big, very big … some small just the same as Filipinos or most Asians … Eating fetuses … well the rich of any country do anything too keep young and their libido … don’t think you can afford that. So what is your point again? … sucks? … you personally sucks big time

      • your going a bit off topic.

        you comment on more filipino rantings than on those that are against us. filipinos here will definitely be enraged. do you see what’s written here bout us? and you honey are so not helping. if i had less rationality in me i would curse every single person who dare judges others (on both sides).

        i visit this site everyday hoping something will change. nothing does apparently. people here vent out without considering the people who their talking about.

        if you wish to correct people here richard, don’t fall back to their level.

        • Hey Pepper … You fail to realise it is 8 HK tourists that died … therefore we should look at this dark event from the victim’s viewpoint NOT the killer’s nor the race of the killer point of view. I agree there are racists out there using this opportunity to run down the Filipinos …. I don’t like them and they are opportunists and does not matter as they appear on every forum doing just this creating helter skelter …. they are a waste of time ” troublemakers” ….

          But when a Filipino comes out and say stuff like they deserve to die or just too bad or Chinese this or Chinese that all nasty stuff just because a troublemaker got to them, I am mystified about justice … because that Filipino in his rage became a monster just llike the sick policeman that killed 8 persons. Remember 8 HK/Canadians tourists were killed brutally by a policeman who were supported to a degree by his colleagues … this is sinful and no comparison to some silly name calling of no consequence …..

          Pepper if one of them is your brother or father or mother or sister who was killed by a HK policeman for nothing except for his own agenda … how do you feel? I rather be called a monkey then to have a dead relative or friend … Phillippines is not a war zone … Phillippines is a very Catholic country … Filipinos are well educated … I know the majority of Filipinos are decent but as in Chinese and Filipinos, some are evil like on this board. I would never support a Chinese policeman that killed anyone let alone 8 foreigners. If Filipinos start saying bad stuff about Chinese then, I understand and the worst I do is to say that the policeman is not representstive of my race ….I would not take this and start saying really stupid stuff like Filipinos are smelly, women are whores, they deserve that, Filipino this or that … I will stay quiet knowing that in this instance SILENCE IS GOLDEN ….. If someone have just killed 8 Filipinos in such a fashion I understand perfectly why some Filipinos may curse that killer’s race deservingly so to let out steam … and the killers race should bear the brunt …. because name calling is basically harmless but actual killing is a mortal sin … Remember who is the victim and who is the perpetrator … Victim is the one on a higher moral ground NOT the perpetrator, the perpetrator lost the minute he or she decides to take the law into their own hands … If the perpetrator command more moral authority than the victim … then the strong will always win, the weak will perish and no more justice left. So I am not on your level or anyone’s level … I am on the level of common sense justice, fairness and decency.

          • im sorry but your message was so long i think il fall asleep reading it. my comment on your msgs wasn’t to offend you im sorry.
            i reiterate that the death of people, no matter the number, is not and will never be a joke. i honestly almost cried over the thought of those people brutally killed with no defense wutsoever.

            i’ll use your logic. if it were your country and your people who are being burned with hate msgs with so little logic, over something only a couple of people did, would you not retaliate in some way?

            i understand all the hurt that’s coming form both sides. i hope we all do. that’s all im sayn.

          • Okay Pepper … my apologies … sorry I get long winded …i think too fast and words keep roaring into my fingers and I am having lots of fun .. poking at lunatics here … some think I am Steven Hunter … I thought he was an american … I am no yankee … I am a Canadian and I am so into this because 3 of the dead are Canadians … and they show their pictures on TV here with their classmates all praising them … What a loss to Canada?

    • They are from HONG KONG not mailand China you idiot.
      Crime rates in HK are one of the lowest in the world I dont know what you are talking about drugs etc? Whereas Phillipines have much much higher, google it. Eating fetuses also I think that is considered a China thing not a HK one.
      Also about the small brain thing? Hong Kong has the HIGHEST IQ in the world. Google it aswell. You deserve to die, along with all your filthy monkey family.

      R.I.P. Hong Kong Hostages.

      • Highest IQ?HK?Poor world! HK people look dumb and narrowminded, racists!

      • This is why we must not generalize.
        Almost each and everyone here is generalizing and insulting each other instead of hearing out and supporting the cause to find the truth.
        I apologize for the idiotic responses most of the Filipino’s here have posted. It angers us as well that these kind of pictures have circulated the internet, and it is a shame that these people in the pictures have the guts to take a pose in these photos (especially the police). I do hope they get karma and learn from their mistakes.
        As for what happened, it hurts the rest of the hardworking Filipino community that all of a sudden we are generalized and tagged as pigs. We understand the anger, and we know that eventually that will subside.
        We all can insult each other for as much as we want, but it will never make up for the what has been done.
        The Police is hopeless, the country is beginning to be hopeless as well.
        But we the Filipino people continue to hope and we pray that someday all this will be left behind and hatred will be no more. We do believe as well that whoever needs to pay must pay!

    • What have the HKers ever done to you?

      • if you read all these hate messages and judgements, and imagine us saying that about your home land and your people, i think it’ll break your heart too. hope you understand..

      • There were Filipinos killed in Tiananmen Square, no one remembers the incident. the same failure of the govt to protect innocent tourists. What about them?

  17. You’ve seen their faces. Do what you must. Then tell me if that brings the dead back to life. These people, taking pictures of such a devastating event, are inhuman and deserved to be ridiculed but dragging the entire populace is just as bad. You are not alone. I am also angered by this shameless act. If I had the opportunity to be there, instead of taking pictures, I’d give off a very brief prayer. Those pictures spreading over Facebook are being condemned. If I ever happen to come across these people, I’d be doing you guys a favor by slapping them one by one, reminding them of how foolish they were.

    It may have been said numerous times but I’ll say it again, We apologize with the tragedy that has happened. We also grieved. Our apologies will not bring your fallen comrades, that is true but we do what we must as we are not the kind of people some have been saying. Partly, I am responsible as I belong to the same race.

    I do understand the hate going on. The same would have been done if Filipinos died in other countries as well. I just hope that you give us the chance to prove that we, as a nation, are very sorry. To my fellow countrymen, all we can do now is to absorb whatever is being thrown at us. We’re(not necessarily me or you, but the faulty police force and media) at fault.

    Let me remind you that I’m part Filipino and part Chinese, as well.

    • Hey RandomGuy … You are one solid Filipino .. you said the right thing and your 2nd last paragraph shows your deep maturity and understanding of human conflicts … You are a decent guy.

  18. excuse m!!e not all filipinos are trash.. think of it. every one you are sure that all of you chinese have a good characters? on this blog on your crazy comment to the filipino it reflects what chinese are.

      • Hey Bernie …You cannot read English … I am Richard … not Steven Hunter … I cannot be as good as Hunter, I have to admit …. fretting and reaffirming … good you understand … the incident has to be burnt into your minds that you cannot kill 8 tourists and try to white wash it as some accident and that the policeman did it by accident … NO … It is cold blooded murder of 8 innocent tourists spending money in your country and was killed by a very selfish policeman who wants his pension and job back … well he killed 8 innocent tourists, got himself killed and in the process besmirched the honour of all good policemen in Phillippines and blackened the tourist industry in your country and dented good name of the Filipinos … What a terrible man and there are people on this board thinking it is okay … Yeah fretting and reaffirming … not only that I am pricking your conscience if you have any Bernie ..Hmmm

        • YOU ARE SICK IDIOT MAN ..you are like a rotten long playing disk who keeps on whining filipino people knows what’s going on around the sad tragedy they feel SAD about it…you have a very slow memory that is the reason why you keep on bragging about the incident and you are boasting about those chinese tourist who spending their money to our country OH! YES THANK YOU…RICHARD or erhh!! STEVE HUNTER i will kowtow to you and challenge you if you could convince all your chinese comrade to go back to your motherland ( CHINA ) not a single chinese left in the philippines..in that way we will see if these chinese people friends and businessman will listen and follow your plea……CHINESE people who lived in the philippines are very understanding about the situation…why on earth !! you are not the one… you should be the one in that bus get killed , sprayed with bullet in the head instead of those 8 innnocent chinese people….tsk! tsk!….wasted.

          • Bernie .. you are a lunatic … Which asylum are you in? I can help by sending some medication. I am very happy to get on your nerves. Obviously you just reveal to us that you are a potential killer and a mental case … you can go postal anytime … your friends and family better stay away from you because you can kill anyone that disagree with you. You are a dangerous person around … hot tempered … inability to communicate and resort to violence easily … you even want to kill me and you have not met me …. you want to kill me because you cannot argue sensibly … Is that a Filipino flaw?Is there a genetic problem? Stay cool .. take your medication

          • You want all the Chinese Filipinos to leave Philippines? Who do you think you are? You are a nobody in Philippines and a nobody on the internet …. just short … go back to your jungle and leave the complicated stuff to Educated Filipinos …. you know the Spanish and Chinese Filipinos … you are a jakun or is it sakai … it means jungle person

          • Are you sure you want the Chinese Filipinos to leave? You might not have a job if they do since they control the economy. But fortunately they are citizens of Philippines … nobody can ask them to leave, they did more for Philippines than you can ever do in 1000 lifetimes … maybe you should leave then Philippines can become like China or HK and challenge them in Economic growth and beating them … Yes it is better for people like you to leave but the problem is no country wants you ..

            I am as cool as a cucumber here. I am drinking my latte as I post, the music is on and beer is coming up next. Where are the nuts honey? Oops they are here

            You notice Bernie I do not have to use derogatory terms nor foul language or shout to get my point across. Watch and learn.

Your wife who just left you for an Englishman … that happens Bernie, they look better, smarter and richer. Maybe you stop being so angry it might help in a small way to improve your image.

            I am waiting patiently for your crazy reply.

  20. did you know that the Chinese call the month of august as “ghost month”?
    it’s part of their feng shui belief that they have really bad luck in august.
    they usually don’t do business, start construction, etc. during this month..

    just sharing.

    • Look at all this filipinos arguing at each other…. now you know why you are an inferior culture? Not the race but the culture..

      • i dont think there’s any inferior culture.

        the difference is just probably on the number of people that practice it. that doesnt make it an inferior for me.

    • Hey Pepper .. I think most people know this is Ghost month in HK, China, Taiwan, Malaysia, Thailand and yes even Phillippines … it is on TV … you watch TV or busy posting? …. and almost everywhere in Asia, maybe US, UK, Australia and Canada … Not sure about the bad luck stuff … bad luck only to bad people who kill people and did not satisfy the dead … I think Filipinos have same belief, you know the Church has holy spirit and also time for the dead, Lent and US etc Halloween … So good people nothing to worry … only bad ….Oh! business continues, construction goes on, new and old … Who is feeding you all that crap? Chinese only stop working during Chinese New Year.

      • i didn’t say i was an expert on any on this stuff richard. i wasn’t implicating anything on it either. i “was just sharing”. end of discussion.

      • Lent? In August? I don’t think so.

        • Hey MMary … splitting hairs,eh! Read .. I did not say August … Halloween is Oct … Lent is a moving day, if you want to know between Feb and March, 46 days before Easter … satisfied … I do not want to cover every fact completely … I am not a walking encyclopedia … just letting people know other religions have something like Ghost Month too … because we are all basically the same in the end … we all bleed red

  21. As a Filipino, I understand how Chinese people are heartbroken about this tragedy that happened in the Philippines and I’m very sorry about what happened. I also, want to send my condolences to those have lost their loved ones. But please don’t say such thing that the Philippines should be destroyed. If the police and the government didn’t do their job right, leave the fault to them. It really hurts me to see that all the Chinese people disgust the Filipino’s now, but don’t put all the blame on us because some of us didn’t like what happened either. We are actually humiliated of what the police did because they didn’t have a proper training. But please don’t disrespect us calling everyone an ANIMAL and that the Philippines should be destroyed.

  22. some of the posters here made harsh comments to and from Chinese / Filipinos and vice-versa are by one guy just to stir up senseless racial hate and also by using multiple screen names.

    • @ dewey….TRUE, i agree with you…well this would be my last visit in this site whatever comment they would give ……it will bounced back to HIM/HER.

      • True, Let’s leave Richard alone here.

        Peace to all Pinoy.

        • Yes kkk … Thank you … and by the way by using KKK it reflects on your stupidity … You know what they do to you in the deep south,USA … KKK is ku klux klan they hang dark skinned people … So stupid to use those initials Pinoy it reflects on your intelligence … nothing clever in signing as kkk

          • richard KKK in he philippines is historicaly respected. it means Kataastaasan Kagalang-galangang Katipunan ng mga anak ng bayan
            (The Highest Respectable Congregation of the sons of the Philippines).
            it existed around the time of the world war 2.

            you can google it po.

          • you are fucking stupid Richard i fucking hate your comments GET A FUCKING LIFE MOFO!

          • here’s a more appropriate translation of our KKK
            “the highest respectable assembly of the sons of the people”

          • Hey Pepper .. the world knows KKK as Klu Klux Klan … just like NAZI … one can chose any words … it does not matter as the World sees the abbreviation and that is the meaning accorded. I can likewise say KKK is King Kong Klub … that does not ameliorate the choice … just like someone stab you with a knife and said sorry thought it was a pen … that person is still a killer … don’t fool around with powerful abbreviations like KKK … Obama would not like it … and in English it should be THRCSP … and in Filipino KKGKMB …. NOT KKK … Wait when some KKK burn a cross on your lawn … It is not funny, it happened in Canada, KKK initials desecrated on Jewish graves. It is a racist offence punishable with jail sentence in Canada and many countries. Avoid using KKK … you don’t want the Jews or the hate police to follow you home.

          • exactly. it can mean anything, so why assume anything out of it. for all you know they may just be his initials.

          • Pepper .. I am not sure you know for sure that poster who signed off as KKK has that as a name. You are naive to think someone will actually use their real name initials to post here.

            You are grasping at straws here. I thought you were more substantive than that. But who knows, it could be even be you or me … What a joke to be even arguing about something so obvious as KKK. When it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck … It is a duck

          • Hey fuck richard … I got into your head, eh! good … Now behave yourself in class and listen to your teacher … study your alphabets so that you can understand the norms in life and learn how to carry yourself with dignity and respect.

          • Dude, like Pepper says, KKK is historically respected IN THE PHILIPPINES. It was the name of the resistance during the centuries of the Spanish occupation of our country. Now, interesting as your information is, you also need to realize this. The poster was probably using this to seem patriotic, I am not defending KKK the person, but KKK as the everyday Filipino understands it. Does it really matter to the Filipino if it means something else in another country? Oh and I think he/she might actually defending you by telling others to lay off, and you return the favor by calling him stupid? C’mon, I’ve read your posts, you’re better than that. At least I hope you are.

          • Hey w3pa .. Of course it is important what outside people think of Philippines? It is Public Affairs … Your government has just agreed to allow HK cops to look at the bus. Why? Public image to the world that Philippines is transparent and that is good … Of course some diehard will disagree as usual …

            You know I am my own man … I hope you are too… just because someone said lay off, I am suppose to rollover and play nice? You read my posts, you know my stance … I am with the victim here and no one else … and if it quacks …It is a duck!

          • Richard, please reread my post carefully. Do you think back in the 1800′s the leaders who formed the resistance movement in the philippines were aware that the “KKK” acronym meant Ku Klux Klan at the time? I don’t think international communications were even invented yet at the time. If you don’t wanna google it, here’s an article:
            http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katipunan

            I said he was trying to DEFEND YOU, not ASK YOU to lay off. Cheers, mate.

          • W3pa … You said layoff and I do not reread posts.. okay really we are on the same page … KKK is bad stuff and it was formed during the American civil war .. 1765 …. so older then your Filipino namesake … initials can be altered or adjusted …. just like you don’t want to name your child Hitler or Judas or Lucifer, if you know your history or Bible … That poor child will have a hard time growing up and may never get a decent job with that name

          • Perhaps. But it’s always subjective man. One man’s trash is another one’s treasure. Yes I know my Bible and I wouldn’t name my children Lucifer or Judas. However, Lucifer actually means “Lightbearer” so despite the negative historical significance of the name, it may still be used by someone who doesn’t know or doesn’t care about it. And the world didn’t exactly have the internet to research KKK during the 1800′s even if Ku Klux Klan was formed in the mid 1700′s. Not knowing that KKK means Ku Klux Klan is not stupidity. Just like you not knowing that KKK in our country means “Kataas-taasang Kagalang-galangang Katipunan” signifies that you are stupid, because obviously you are not from your posts. You can’t expect everyone to know every factual tidbit out there. Just please respect our culture and history, the same as I will respect KKK’s negative implications for you and many people in the US. It’s diversity that makes this world interesting.

          • Hey w3pa … Let us cut this nonsense short … KKK means Klu Klux Klan … ask anyone in the world not just Filipinos, the majority will say that’s the klan and don’t try to speak for someone who signs off as KKK … unless you are his accomplice … that makes you a troublemaker too .. Do not forget Philippines is not the centre of Universe in the interpretation of abbreviations. KKK means Klan end of story … You just want to prove you are better than me … You are not better and I do not want to be better. As I’ve said if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck … it is a duck except you … you will say in Philippines it is a chicken. And only you and your cohorts will call it chicken .. I hope it is not a genetic flaw!

          • I can see it’s nigh impossible to have a rational discussion about you as again, you’ve started generalizing us and are now resorting to insulting me. No I am no better than you, but at least I tried being diplomatic. You’re right let’s cut this short as this obviously isn’t going anywhere.

            I definitely agree you are not Steven Hunter, the guy has exponentially more sense than you. There. At least I’ve debunked Sh8ead and the others claiming that the 2 of you are one and the same. Cheers mate.

        • Hey W3pa … I am not sure of your understanding of the word diplomatic … If you are diplomatic … you would not have got into this KKK BS … you know it is the Klan … you are smart enough … but want to prove you know something that I do not know … you bring up a 200 years old organisation that is tagalog and said that’s KKK …

          Who are you kidding? … This is an English board .. not tagalog … English meaning. English Abbreviation … not some unknowm obscure Tagalog which maybe 5000 people know about … You know KKK over1 billion people easily know that’s the Klan … 1 billion versus 5000 … You are grasping at straws … If you are diplomatic you leave this horrible KKK alone …

          You infact demonstrated the Filipinos stubborness in admitting to obvious fact … You want to genulflect, you want to dance around over non issue ….. You want to be a useless politician

          Why do you want to fight over an issue you know you are on slippery slope and why are you defending someone who signs off as KKK and pinoy … Because he is Filipino? If that’s the case you are in very shallow waters . You do not defend someone who is suspect, you do not defend someone who is guilty … Unless you share his train of horrible thoughts … unless you are his lawyer … unless you are paid by him or unless you are family ….unless you are just a closet fascist.

          You can debunk whatever you want. I have said umpteen times I am Richard and I am my own man and I am on the side of the victims.

          i say again if it quacks and walks like a duck … It is a duck … not a Chicken! If you follow this principle … you will have a sensible life!

          • No KKK … is King Kong Klub … there are 5 members … myself, my wife. my 2 kids and grandma … therefore KKK is King Kong Klub … I never heard about Klu Lux Klan is that in sanskrit or Chinese?

            Someone might just post that and let me do it and spoil that buggers fun … LOL

        • Hey w3pa … Now some Filipinos like that Steven Hunter guy, eh!

          Coming from an ardent Filipino defender now saying Steven Hunter makes more sense … I thought he was very rough with you guys … I thought Filipinos hate him … Well I like that guy too …

          Yes he is exponentially smarter than me … thats a very big word, exponentially, it means his IQ is off the charts … You know the routine eh!… The enemy of my worst enemy is my friend …

          But Steven Hunter may not share your feelings and you have just said he is smarter than yourself , you know exponentially …. careful with your words .. you have danced yourself into a corner! Typical Filipino style,eh! Sorry not ALL only some!

  23. fuck all filipinos! if i was chinas president! ill declare war on those sons of bi*ches!

    -im also filipino btw lol

  24. I’m a Filipino and I’m ashamed that Filipinos like me even had the guts to take a picture with that bus! All I can say is yeah, they’re pretty stupid and didn’t even realize what they’re doing. But hey, just wanted to inform to all of you HK people, the TOURISTS here in the Philippines started the “picture taking beside the bus” started it first! Maybe stupid Pinoys thought that was cool enough so they also did it. But seriously, not ALL of us did that. WTF WHAT GOOD WILL WE GET WHEN WE TAKE A PICTURE THERE? NOTHING!

  25. Don’t keep the blame all to the FIlipinos. It’s all Mendoza’s fault. Not OUR fault. OKAY? And Mendoza’s DEAD by the way so if have things to deal with him or something like that :)) Then go, visit his corpse.

    • You know what?! I’m kind of angry that some people here Filipino in general has to bow down their heads and apologize for taking a goddamm fucking picture! It’s their life and they can do whatever the fuck they want with it!

      Fuck those gutless Filipinos for saying their ashamed for something they didn’t do. Grow some spines you fucking idiots!

      Let me make it fucking clear, we Filipinos are not to blame for the tragedy that occured. Pointing fingers, insulting us just shows how smart and educated you people are.

      • http://www.gmanews.tv/story/192754/abu-sayyaf-gunmen-kill-3-hostages-in-basilan

        That was their lives too and they didn’t do whatever the fuck they wanted you retard!
        You can be angry, fucking morron. Wake up, grow some spines yourself and stick them up your a$$!

      • I get what you mean dude, and I’m a little annoyed as well. Apparently, it’s ingrained in most of our countrymen to be submissive to foreigners – perhaps part of our “hospitable” nature? I don’t know. I’m disappointed at the events on that Monday, yes. Sad – yes. Pissed at the incompetence – yes. Sorry – yes but more of as condolence and not to apologize for the actions of individuals who are not in any way related to me (except by Nationality). Because I had no control over it. We can’t really tell them what to do though, it’s their life, their time, their computers and their internet connections (or rental money at the net cafe’s) , so they are free to post what they want. At best we can hope no one further embarrasses our people.

  26. 在不包括在图片中,请不要怨天尤人,这是不公平的东西对我来说,我不应该做的付出:)我希望u明白…

    where not included in the picture so please stop blaming everyone, it’s not fair for me to pay for something i shouldn’t do :) i hope u understand…

    看看有多少人不礼貌的菲律宾人参加了turist巴士图片?多少名菲律宾人”世卫组织不包括在内?”你不应该责怪每对INCCIDENCE之一。它的不公平,我付出的东西我不应该做的事。 :)

    count how many impolite filipinos taking pictures in the turist bus? HOW MANY FILIPINOS ”WHO ARE NOT INCLUDED?” you shouldn’t blame every one about the INCCIDENCE . its not fair for me to pay for something i shouldn’t do. :)

  27. I, a filipino is also ashamed of what happened, as I watch the hostage drama, I was very dissapointed, no, its “pissed off” on how the authorities/police handled the situation, they’re strategy totally sucks and fail, as I watch the hostage drama, I was wondering, “when the hell will they go inside that fucking bus and just save the goddammed tourists?!?” I mean, on how the police acted was very unprofessional like they cared more about they’re life than the life that they should be protecting and saving as the POLICE. As for the pictures, I have no comment.

    But as for the “hating the whole filipino race” then, should i hate chinese people for the lead poisoning and melamine contamination? wer not only 8, but hundreds or maybe even thousands have suffered? is it right to blame a whole nation for a mistake of one man? if u do then u r most certainly DENSE! i dont wanna argue about anything. i’m just stating my take on things. :p

    • Hey Chu and Kim … Nobody, I repeat nobody is saying the entire Filipino race is to be blamed … nobody I repeat nobody is saying all Filipinos are bad. There are a few racist posts which you should ignore … you get angry and again like many people bring up IRRELEVANT issues about China this and China that.

      Firstly the dead are Chinese I agreed but they are citizens of HK and Canada NOT China.
      Secondly China has lots of problems. We all know that. It is in the news. Real bad problems like what you said … the Chinese govt will execute those “bastards” … now Philippines has problems too , big problems … we all know it is in the news too.. So what is the point? You say China is shit … someone says Philippines is shit … It can go on forever and it is funny

      Thirdly, the issue here is 8 dead innocent tourists killed by an ex policeman with some help from his former colleagues. This is the issue. And then some police cadets or whatever took souvenier shots and smile beautifully at that crime scene and this the second issue.

      The rest is nonsense and lots of posters having fun throwing mud around. These people may not even be Chinese or Filipinos. They are just troublemakers.

      • 2 U,
        Richard
        I agree with your posting.

        As an old Taoist/Buddhist
        I totally disagree with the taking a life of another living being, be it an ant.

        Yes, many Ph ppl here (not all) have run out of logical reasons to counter what are being thrown at them so they get back at us, Chinese by saying bad thing that China is this & that or whatever.

        Dont they know that we Chinese dont deny that.

        Dont they read the news or maybe they have no internet?? LOL.

        Most brought up subjects here are:

        lead poisoning
        melamine in the milk

        I would like to ask:
        Have any Ph ppl died from the above-mentioned subject????????????? eh????

        Well??? Did any Ph ppl DIED from it??????????

        In the lead poisoning case, the Mattel CEO apologized for the fiasco, why???
        Because without the specifications from Mattel, the Chinese cannot manufacture the Toys.

        They were manufactured according to their specification & they all knew about it (Mattel & the Chinese manufacturer) & it took more than a year for them to be “discovered” ???? eh??

        Well, to be morally (yes, the word is morally) right, the G. manager of the toy manufacturer killed himself.
        Happy???

        As for the melamine case

        All those that were responsible for it were executed except the chairwoman who was given life imprisonment.
        Happy??

        or maybe you want her to be executed, too?? eh??
        (then talk to Hu Jintao, who?? who? who who who let the dogs out? LOL.)

        Do you know that a big foreign’ milk company was/is a major shareholder in this China’ milk company & most of all knew about it more than year before news got out?????

        So, you ppl in Ph, for heaven sake, bring out logical subjects to counter whatever are being thrown at you.

        We are not asking you, Ph, to execute those responsible but be accountable.

        Otherwise you all, ppl in Ph will be like the Japanese who denied the all atrocities in WW11 & Nanjing Massacre.

        Oh, about the fetus eating subject, gee, really, we, all Chinese knew about this a long time ago.

        I will talk about it later but let’s ask the question:
        was it a Chinese fetus or a Filipinos fetus ?????? eh????

        As I have said in my earlier posting about Mahatma Gandhi, one of the greatest man if not the greatest ever lived.
        “slap me on the left cheek, I will give you the right cheek”

        Maybe you Ph ppl do not have right cheek, LOL.

        Accept what happened in your country was a fact & accept it gracefully & accept it that it was a bad incident that happened under your watch, and there is no two ways about it.!!!!

        Apologize with great sincerity & with deep remorse.
        Make amend
        “Time is essential otherwise the wound will not heal.”

        Stop making it worse by bring out illogical subject matters in this forum.

        Just for info:
        80,000 HK Chinese protested yesterday in HK, upset but not violent.

        Namo Oor Li tau futt.

        May our goddess of Mercy, Kwan Yin, & Lord Buddha bless the souls of all those perished.
        And please Goddess of Mercy, Kwan Yin & Lord Buddha, give the ppl in Ph especially their President, more IQ so they would not be illogical.

        Namo Oor Li tau futt.

        ===============

        Mr Spock, what is your opinion???

        Illogical, captain, since the incident happened under our watch, so it is only logical for us to make amends.

        Mr Spock !!!, to make amend means that we have to eat the humble pie. I prefer my mother apple pie. LOL.

        Well, Jim, we can always as usual get Scotty to boost the plasma engine to the max.

        Very well, Scotty !!! maximum power to the engine to prepare to run away. eh ! I mean get away.

        Aye, aye, Captain.
        but Captain, what the bloody differences between get away & run away.
        Well, scotty, get away means we do it in the sly with a smile.

        Zulu !!, warp 5 to the zillion sector & get us the hell out of this place

        Aye, aye, captain.
        Warp 5 captain.

        Mr Spock, just in case if more stones & bricks are thrown at us by the Chinese, make sure Bone (Doctor Mc Coy) is around.

        Aye, aye Captain but captain, Bone say it is a cowardly act to run away & I (Spock) say it is illogical.

        Really??? Zulu !!!!, Warp 10 and run like hell.

        Aye aye, Captain, Warp 10

        I wonder did Captain Kirk eventually got his mother’ apple pie?

        ==========================

        ps: my sincere apology to all Star Trek fans if you are offended, mind you all, Trekkies, I am also a great fan of Star Trek since the early 60′ especially Mr Spock because, only a Vulcan have a logical mind.
        Maybe, we humans should be more “vulcanised” LOL.

        • By Golly Cheong … You are pretty good … I have a good laugh when you did Star Trek … but then we should be circumspect with our Filipino brethren … some of them are very gallant …. some apologised at the risk of fellow Filipinos condemnation … some did the sly stuff and come back with an under handed punch after a feint apology … some say this is not too bad only 8 died and the worst is those that said they deserve it and it is China’s fault. Unbelievable, eh!

          Thank you Cheong … the Victims deserve no less

          • Remember that the China Government killed their own people last year 1989 in the Tiananmen Square Massacre. Until now they don’t give justice to those people killed by the Chinese military. Your government is not perfect too. They have their flaws too.

            Tiananmen Square massacre
            http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiananmen_Square_protests_of_1989

          • Hey Shiela the Tibetan pretender … go away and preach Tibetan independence elsewhere this is a blog for 8 dead innocent tourists that were killed brutally by a policeman. You think the angry Filipinos are interested in your cause? They have enough problems to concen themselves with Tibet. In Canada you might get some followers.

        • A lot of people have already apologized, I hope you could also give them the decency of acknowledging their apology. Maybe they do not deserve a “thank you” because you may believe that we should apologize. Don’t get me wrong, I myself am extremely disappointed by what happened. Yes, it happened in my country, but I haven’t apologized because it was not I who did it. I couldn’t have done anything about it as I was not even aware of the events last Monday it until it was over. I don’t apologize, but I extend my condolences to the families who experienced the losses.

          Maybe you should check online at how many Filipinos are criticizing the current govenrnment and clamoring for them to do right by the Hong Kong people before saying things like: “Maybe you Ph ppl do not have right cheek, LOL.” or “Apologize with great sincerity & with deep remorse.
          Make amend” Again, generalizations insult EVERYONE of that race, even those that are actually on your side in this discussion.

          Yeah, better to be like a Vulcan and not a Klingon or a Romulan – and as such, do not blame a whole nation for the actions of its inept government – not everyone voted for that President, and it wasn’t the people who put those policemen in position. So power down your phasers dude.

          • Hey w3pa .. the tone of Cheong’s posting is concilliatory and meant to be light hearted … he did not say ALL again … he said amend … you can only amend if you did wrong … so only people who has done wrong amend … if your conscience is clean … if you are on the side of non violence … no amend is needed … you are fine …Understand the meaning of the word amend … just like confessions with the priest or KKK …and you come up with some prehistoric tagalog version. You really go to ridiculous lengths to prove a non issue. The issue again let me repeat is 8 dead innocent tourists.

      • i said chinese not china, the point is we should also hate them because they’re also chinese, because its been turning out that some of our fellow filipino people are being treated badly in HK now, were just giving them theyre own taste of they’re medicine, which is hating they’re fellow chinese like how they are hating our fellow innocent filipino people in HK, its all the same, we, no “I” understand they’re loss but its wrong to blame it on other people or even the entire filipino race, ITS WRONG,

        they may have the right reason but still the WRONG thing.

        maybe you dont blame the entire filipino race but MOST do and thats a FACT.

        As for the picture taking issue, i have no interest in stating a reply, I have my condolence and I have always respected and prayed for the peace of the dead.

        well as for me I am a filipino, and yea, there are many abominable obnoxious trouble makers here, as for me im just stating my point for the essense of understanding.

        Blessed be :)

  28. you hate FILIPINO for the hostage fiasco earlier this week right? Then should i hate CHINESE people for the lead poisoning and melamine contamination?? where not EIGHT, but hundreds, maybe thousands have suffered?? Is it right to blame a whole nation for a mistake of one man?? if you do, then you most certainly DENSE! i dont want to argue about anything. i’m just stating my take on things..

  29. I’m an American. I condemn the killing of the victim however..People from Hongkong should think that the fault of a few can’t be a fault of all..It is a very immature thinking to put all your blame to all people in the Philippines when in fact, only a few people involved. Think about it!…

    • Hey American … I thought Americans are well educated .. can you read … can you comprehend … nobody repeat nobody of substance has faulted ALL Filipinos for this killing .. nobody said ALL except you silly troublemaker … We smart people have thought about this EXCEPT you … and this if you are American is none of your business .. it is between Chinese, Filipinos, Canadians and good hearted people who wants to promote harmony.

      Hey American you know where you can go … go to Afghanistan and help the people there instead throwing mud here. But really you are not an American … you are just a lowly troublemaker who enjoy to see other people fight and enjoy the spoils of such a fight … but hey you are not getting it here … go home to momma she needs to feed you before you get postal.

    • Basically, I agree w/ you..
      Why hate ALL?

      They hate Filipinos for the hostage fiasco earlier this week, right? then, should I hate Chinese people for the Lead poisoning and melamine contamination? Where in not 8, but hundreds, maybe even thousands have suffered. Is it right to blame a whole nation for a mistake of one man?

      • Hey Art … let me say this very slowly …not all Filipinos … not ALL .. only some, very few in my judgement, very few Filipinos that are flippant on this issue. Filipinos that regard the murder of 8 as something very normal, some even say okay because they are Chinese …. yes, these Filipinos are hated

        And why do you hate the Chinese for lead poisoning or melamine? It is not the topic here but if it is the topic … the Chinese did it to themselves, they kill themselves not Filipinos. Can you see the light? Only Chinese died in Melamine, zero Filipinos died … no Filipinos died. Why are you angry with Chinese for killing Chinese, Art? Anyways those people were punished. Are you okay with the understanding. Not complicated at all.

        • well. for me.. it’s not just about killing Filipinos or Chinese or whatever race you are… it’s about killing PEOPLE… it’s about on how many have died and suffered… i mean… why can’t all of us respect each other whatever race we are… because in equality we’re all HUMANS…

          • Very correct Art … we are talking about a sick policeman killing 8 innocent tourists … keep race out of it and nonsense crap like lead poisoning, melamine, Tiananmen, Tibet etc …

            The problem is some person says something about Filipinos but did not say all and you uys get excited …If you are innocent, good and felt the pain of the victims … Why are you angry? You are a good human …. Chinese has no problem with you … they are only angry with those insensitive, callous and stupid people who may not be Filipinos but like people to think they are Filipinos.

            Do you know even the Chief Philippines Official in HK said the Filipinos should take the anger from the people and pray for those dead … do not voice nonsense at this moment … it is insensitive … we can discuss how bad China is in another forum BUT not here.

  30. My take on things:

    Now this is a very inappropriate practice of the “Picture! Picture! Tag in Facebook!” Craze in the Phils. A lot of people have access to social networking and like to show off thru their profile pictures that they were in a significant event, and I personally think it’s caused by a lack of self sufficiency and deficiency in how thei see their own value. This is insensitive and not very well thought of on their part.

    The Filipino people as a whole are not like this. A lot of them (both educated and uneducated) sometimes show a lack of judgment and prudence – as is surely true with every race and nation. There are a few voices of reason both from the Chinese/HK people and the Filipinos in this website, as well as third party nationalities and these are the posts worth reading. Posts that generalize people – both Chinese and Filipino, are not helping. Condolences to the families who experienced the loss. The People posting hear can never substitute their apologies for the much needed apologies of those that are responsible (or inept), which is why I don’t. Our president’s popularity in the country has dropped greatly because of this blunder, and to be honest there were a lot of us (me not included) who had great hopes for him. His government is pretty immature, with a lot of new people in positions of power who sometimes do not know how to responsibly wield their authority. Yes, this is not an excuse, and perhaps a majority of the Filipino people are to blame for putting these politicians up on positions of power. As a nation wracked by corruption in every regime – the promise of integrity over competency has influenced the votes of the majority.

    This is an example of how competency comes to practice, integrity is well and good, but must be balanced with the competency to actually know the right thing to do at the right times. I think the students here are already ashamed of what they have done as one poster here has said, they didn’t realize at the time how insensitive it was and had to be told of it. The Law enforcers though, that’s a different story – why brag your incompetence? but again these people are not the whole country. The country mourns the losses. This is still not an all-encompassing recap, but I think it reflects the thoughts of many of the decent Filipinos who happen upon this thread and post their condolences and apologies.

  31. If the Philippine government and the Filipino people are sincere about their commitment to correct a wrong, then with immediate effect all the policemen in the pictures should be immediately suspended without pay pending administrative charges. All SWAT memebers and leaders should be immediately suspended NOT ALLOWED SIMPLY TO GO ON LEAVE WITH PAY. Its like really fucking up an operation where 8 people died and being rewarded with paid leave…..this is no good. NO POLICEMEN HAS BEEN FIRED, ALL HAVE BEEN ALLOWED TO GO ON PAID LEAVE…..THAT IS ALL

  32. This type of thing happens all the time in China. I see Chinese people taking photos of accidents and horrifying scenes. Dead bodies that have been hit by cars or buses laying uncovered in the road, then some guy takes out his cell phone and takes a photo. This is common in China. Chinese people love the “show” Don’t criticize what the Filipinos are doing. It was a horrible tragedy, but if it happened in China the same thing would happen.

    • Hey Joshua …. China again .. What has China got to do with the deaths of 8 innocent tourists in the Philippines?

      Either you offer condolences as normal people do or if you are a Filipino you can still offer your condolences or offer your apologies on behalf of your race … and then shut your mouth and move on … Why do you need to mention China ? It is like me linking every disaster to you personally just for kicks. Oh that girl got raped …it is Joshua who did it …. a man got killed … oh! Joshua fault again … tourists were killed …oh! Joshua did that … Joshua is evil … his entire family is evil … his sister is a nyphomaniac …. his mother is a monster … his father is a pedophile and his brother eat crap for dinner…and his dog is evil too … You like this Joshua … Can you see how stupid? How childish?

      Ridiculous to drag in China just because victims are Chinese. Ridiculous to blame anyone or anything EXCEPT the policeman, the police force for compliance, some stupid Filipinos who said this is okay and maybe the Govt if they do not handle this properly . So far the Govt is doing okay.

      The victims are human beings who happen to be HK and Canadian citizens of Chinese ancestry … Get it … Simple it is not complicated … Why are you bringing in China this and China that, unless you are a troublemaker or just plain stupid.

      This is the reason why this will carry on forever with insults thrown at such posters who may be or may not be Filipinos. Because not ALL Filipinos are cold hearted and NOT all Filipinos are stupid. Only the stupid posters who wanted to be known as Filipinos so that they create friction between races. I think Joshua is a troublemaker … Go and play with yourself in the corner, Joshua and make sure you clean yourself up after that. Cleanliness is next to Godliness, you little prick.

    • so it’s then if I’ll pose my best shot w/ my best angle beside your coffin or beside your dead body????… then i’ll post it on my facebook account letting know everyone in the world that your dead already and it’s just that i wanna make some remembrance photo on your death!!!!!!!

      ..and if the same thing would happen to China, and they would also take some photo of it w/ their most gorgeous smile like what you see on the fuckin’ pictures above… then probably it’s a proof that the world is really polluted… polluted of morons like you! It’s a proof that stupidity is really epidemic!

  33. That is so wrong.

  34. When HKers are shot dead by a bunch of incompetent police:

    One comment: “Filipinos are a bunch of inhuman cold-blooded animals.”

    When the Japanese are atom-bombed:

    One comment: “Too satisfying! I really want this to happen again!”

    There are humane comments from both sides in both situations. But these comments above only showed hypocrisy.

    • the 8 hong kong citizens that were shot dead was not by a bunch, but rather 1 police. the incompetent part was there was too much neglect in the whole process of negotiation.

      but yes there is too much hyporcisy and there is too much blaming when the facts aren’t even right.

    • Het IronVermin … that is a very unusual name … BUT why bring in the Japanese Atom bomb? Are you Japanese? If you are it is none of your bloody business unless you are expressing condolences here and promote harmony. If not mind your sister’s business she is a whore in Sydney Australia.

      Just to let you know about the comment: Filipinos are a bunch of inhuman cold blooded animals … that statement is in response to someone that said the Chinese deserve it … some stupid poster trying to be Filipino said something about the 8 dead innocent tourists … I agree the reply should not be so sweeping but you have to accept anger from the victim side.

      The correct statement should be : If you are a Filipino and think the killing of 8 dead innocent tourists are fine and thet deserve it, then those Filipinos are a bunch of inhuman cold blooded animals. That I think was what was the intended reply. Remember people are very angry.

      Now talking about the atom bomb on Japan. I don’t like it but it helped to stop a WAR that was killing Filipinos, Koreans, Chinese, Malays, English, Australian, Americans. That was very justifiable … to stop more killing and it was WAR … get it silly bugger. Thank You USA!

      Now this is civilian death by a sick policeman of 8 innocent tourists and silly people taking pictures smiling.

  35. Relax the extreme hatred for a second. These are young filipina nursing students — just kids — doing what kids sometimes do, in a country which is overrun with the use of cellphones and cameras to communicate.

    • how about those fuckin’ policemen up there posing w/ a smile?
      how justifiable are they? look how old are they? you think they’re just ‘kids’ playin’ around or somethin’? what the!

  36. For those who debate here ,,, would you turn back the incident and make it right ??
    i am really shocked boys here are the one who debates its like “who has balls? debate” or “whos country is much better?”
    okay fine Filipino SWAT failed, taking pictures is disrespectful ,,
    but did you all know what is their purpose of taking picture have you asked them? are they the one who posted it in the net to insult the Chinese? or it was grabbed from their facebook ?
    why don’t you all post a prayer for their souls an for a peaceful worl?

    对于那些谁在这里辩论,,,你会回头的事件,并作出正确的??我感到很震惊男孩在这里是“一辩论谁,像”谁球?辩论“或”卫生组织国家好得多?好吗罚款菲律宾特警失败,拍照是不敬,但你都知道什么是他们的目的,采取图片你问他们?谁是他们的一张贴在它的净侮辱中国?或者是从他们的Facebook抓?你们为什么不为和平祈祷图片来源张贴自己的灵魂为1?

  37. The Philippines never hoped for this to happen but please let us still respect each other those Filipino that stood and took pic. of them at the bus don’t know what they are doing… im really sorry for what have happened but please Filipino’s are not pigs,dogs, or any animal if you want us to respect you respect us too -.-

    • we never hoped for this either. we have respected each other prior to this incident. we would like to hear from those people in the picture-taking. talk about respect when they(in the picture) gave none to us. even mocking us by doing those thing. we also respect those who respect us, and those who took pictures there are disrespecting us. don’t you think so?

  38. know what, i already had enough of this case, better yet! i’ll just let the officials of each country to make their investigations, wait for the results, and see what would happen, rather than pointing at each others faces, like throwing rotten eggs at one another and boil everybody’s blood out…
    as for the people who are not even involved in this tragedy…
    just shut the hell up…
    you’re not a filipino?! you’re not a HK/chinese?! then shut up! your opinions are not needed in this issue and you are not being consulted by anyone…
    as for the Filipinos who took those pictures (esp. the police) LOOK AT YOURSELVES IN THE MIRROR… THEN SLAP YOUR FACES! then… REPEAT THE PROCESS UNTIL YOUR FACES GET SWOLLEN!
    as for the typical Filipinos who have been saying the apologies for like what? a thousand posts already? It’s good and decent that you’re saying sorry and that you are… but i guess that’s enough… you have done too much apologies already… (in my opinion… if they don’t want to accept your apologies… then so be it… at least you already did what you could do… ^^)
    as for the Chinese/HK people, bullets could cut through skin, but harsh words could cut through the mind, the soul and the heart, and i think all those insulting words are also enough (in my opinion) and that i guess its up to you if you would accept all these people’s apologies to you and to your beloved country and countrymen who died in this tragic accident which nobody in this world ever wanted…

    and as for those who just wont stop on re-flaring this issue…
    most especially if you’re not a HK/Chinese of Filipino…
    you’re one sick bastard… and who the hell are you to comment and make things worse? ^^

    as for the posts about the KKK…
    IN THE PHILIPPINES! let me repeat that! IN THE “PHILIPPINES”, the “KKK” as it is known in the “PHILIPPINES” stand for the words “K”ataas-taasang “K”agalang-galangang “K”atipunan, it was a revolutionary brotherhood in the Philippines when the country was under the Spanish occupation. Its goals were to achieve independence from the Spaniards, and to free every Filipino. (this actually pissed me off because someone keeps on pushing that the meaning of KKK was the Klu, well, that is what it stands for your country, but in the Philippines, its the whole was around… very much different from the KKK that you know… ^^)

    well, that it, but this is all just my opinion…
    BTW! i myself is a FILIPINO… and I have a lot of friends, schoolmates and even relatives that are Chinese and Cantonese, but the never acted like the one’s on this thread, this is just too much…

    lets just have peace in out hearts and minds, fighting and trash talking each other wont result to anything good, so if you have nothing good to say… just keep it to yourself, if you cant keep it to yourself, just leave the site… AGAIN! all this is just my opinion, ^^

    • *HK/Chinese OR Filipino…

      *well, that’s it, but its all just my opinion….
      *but they never acted like the one’s on this thread, this is just too much…

      AND O YEAH!
      You can’t make something BAD be GOOD by putting WORSE things in it… ^^
      its like… negative+negative=NEGATIVE… but…
      NEGATIVE+POSITIVE+POSITIVE+POSITIVE+POSITIVE= would be… POSITIVE… ^^

    • Hey j .. I agree with your post believe it or not … I am also sick with half truths and believe it or not I have many Filipino friends. I am a God father to one of my Filipino friend’s child. I was at the Christening. I also help to sponsor by being a guarantor.

      On the KKK … I am NOT disagreeing that KKK means something else in Philippines BUT this is English board not Tagalog … in the English speaking world KKK means something else … and you have to admit this fact.

      And why do that person sign off as KKK .. What is the point? Why sign off as though you are a veteran of a resistance revolutionary group. We are not at war. Philippines and China and HK and Canada are friends … and we are still friends … we are not at war

      It is like me signing off as NAZI in a German forum. You know the reaction I will get and then I say the NAZI sign is a Buddhist sign in India and the Far East only reverse. Don’t you think I am being cheeky? Stiriing a bit?

      Okay KKK means something good in Philippines but not relevant here … just like Tibet and Tiananmen … not relevant. So do not try to confuse by doing “clever” stuff in disguise. Readers here are pretty smart.

  39. You hate filipino’s for the hostage fiasco earlier dis week? right?! Then, should i hate chinese people for the lead poisoning & melamine contamination? Where in not 8, but hundreds, maybe thousands have suffered. Is it right to blame a whole nation for a mistake of one man? If u do then u are most certainly DENSE. No Arguments just an opinion.

    • Here is another crack pot.

      Hi you want to meet for some tea or are you just passing by and just thrown a stink bomb. It landed on your face.

      It was a pleasure to read your ” cut” and ” paste ” posting. There was a few earlier. Do a few more. It keeps me alive responding … I having fun here … I like to exercise my fingers … they say it is good for the brains .. just like playing the piano … increase your mathematical prowess

    • The victims did not make the melamine. The victims are from Hong Kong, they are Hong Kongers, not a Chinese Mainlander. In Hong Kong there is no milk manufacturing company. So you hate all chinese for this right?! Did you even bother to make a research before typing? you are the DENSE one. No Arguments either, you are just purely stupid and racist.

    • from my understanding, it is the people who voted for their government officials right?! then don’t be surprised when they hate the people who have voted for their own president. a president whom the people voted, who apparently smiled during the whole thing. we didn’t even heard an apology from him. a hero’s burial for the man who killed the 8 hong kong citizens. a round of applause and cheers from crowd when the criminal fired shots. picture-taking from the crime scene, no respect whatsoever. tell us then, is it wrong for a natural reaction from some of us to be fully ENRAGED?? it’s just too much if you can understand.

      lead poison and melamine, who made it? was it a hong kong citizen? no. do we even have milk manufacturing plant in hong kong? no. did 8 filipino die of melamine even? no.

      your words show what kind of person you are very very clearly. DENSE. no arguments either, just common sense.

  40. yes iam a filipino please drop a nuclear bomb here in metro manila and make this island sink im tired of this country and so the faces here

    • yeah.. drop the bomb here in Philippines but i’ll make sure that the bomb will explode right on your fuckin’ face…..

      • Hey Art … Firstly he may not be Filipino … maybe a wannabe terrorist … You know the statement is so ridiculous that he is smoking some crap that has affected his thinking … yeah it will explode in his face alright … LOL … it is very good you say something without mentioning race or China … that is the way, buddy … get the silly people … get the racists … and do not mention race, China or any irrelevant stuff because this is about 8 innocent dead and silly people smiling and taking pictures at that bloody scene … anyone doing this is silly be it White, black, brown, Yellow or Green.

  41. Incompletent philipine police force! This can be taken care of in a few minutes with no casualty by U.S’s S.W.A.T sniper. Taking picture with smile at the scene after many hostages were kill is unhumane and stupid!

  42. This is wrong. SO WRONG! There’s no excuse. I’m a Filipino and I find this EXTREMELY insensitive.

  43. Taking that long time to rescue the hostages with so many deaths and injured is competent! Posting at the scene afterward for picture with smile is stupid and inhuman!!!

  44. Taking that long time to rescue the hostages with so many deaths and injured is incompetent! Posting at the scene afterward for picture with smile is stupid and inhuman!!!

  45. This is so sick!!! As law enforcement officials, they are not only failed to rescue the hostage but also later posted for pictures with big smile on their faces is heartless and stupid!!!
    No one should ever travel to this country again.

  46. I now all chinese is angry to all filipinos because the hostage scene on last monday but not all wrong is isisi. to all filipino because the other chinese ay nakagawa rin ng kasalanan sa mga filipino tulad ng mga OFW marami skanila ang namamatay ng hindi manlang nagkakamit ng hostisya ang masaklap pa ay sa ibang bansa walang awang pinapatay at pinaparosahan ang mga filipino diba kaya kung makagaw man ng kasalanan ang manga pinoy wag naman sanang ituring kriminal lahat at wag idamay ang mga inosinti…………….

    • napakasaklap namang pangyayri yan kenneth….
      WTF are you sayin’ about? yeah, i get your point…
      but damn! try to re-read your comment… it’s awful!!
      even your Filipino spelling is wrong…

  47. why the hell the chinky goverment and it’s people act their country is better than philippines.the chinkies did a lot of huham rights violation like killing the tibetan people.Not to mention the widespread torture according to the UN report.SO fuck the chinky communist goverment.And china is also know to be a fucking copycat.. fuck the chinky communist goverment..
    CHINA IS A BIG HYPOCRITE COUNTRY WHERE PEOPLE LIKE TO HAVE SEX ALL THE TIME RESULTED TO A BILLION POPULATION

    • Hey THE TRUTH … you wanna talk about Chinky China instead of the senseless killing … no problemo

      What do you know about the Chinky govt ? You half baked non human… almost everything that you are using is made in Chinky China … from expensive Ipads to the cheap lap top that you are using …. from expensive clothes to your unwashed filthy clothing on your hunched back to the freaking shoes you put on your stinking feet …. You talk about Chinky … you could be a Pinky piece of cow dung

      Copycat … Who copies who! Chinky invented paper, paper money, compass. printing press, irrigation systems, silk … who copied all these … now China is doing the same thing that others did 300 years ago … why complain now! The winner is who is ahead … and China is now a superpower whether you like it or not … call it chinky … call it anything .. it does not matter … the chinky is going to own you very shortly because they have the largest reserves in the world, that means money, moolah … stupid … you know USA owes Chinky over 1 trillion … you know how much 9 times Philippines GDP, that’s only the debt US owes to China … Chinky GDP is 30 times larger than Philippines … if you know what GDP means … stupid, I doubt you understand what I am talking now …. I only using Philippines as example … so don’t angry Filipinos!

      Tibet , hey is part of China before you are born, stupid ,,, if Tibet is not China … then every country in the past is also not part of any country … face it … you have the power to deny Tibet from China? You dumb rectum! Try taking Tibet from China … you can only talk .. have some action!

      Chinky like sex … everybody like sex … you dumb eunuch .. you lost your small dick or what … or you have problems getting it up … you know why … because you hate too much… stop hating … use your dying brain before you lose yourself in crap

      You see I just demonstrated to you I can be as rough … as rough as any bugger on the net … but I did say bad about any person or country except to that really stupid poster who wants to talk Chinky without knowing that he has crap on his pimpled face

      But we are not talking about China … i don’t care about Chinky … I care about the victims … that’s all

      • Hey THE TRUTH … You thought I was finished …sorry No!

        Firstly, learn how to spell .. it is embarassing … I thought maybe typo errors … but you make so many errors …spelling, grammar, punctuations etc … too many … so cannot be typo … you obviously cannot think and type at the same time and your English is so bad but you still want to post here … go back to school first … it is embarassing when you express so poorly …except the word “fuck” .. you like the word … or that is the most important word you know .. try the word fornicate … it is better more educated … your mother will be disappointed with the word “fuck”. She will wash your mouth and spray your fingers clean.

        Secondly, it reflects on your station in life … I do not like to judge but you are begging us to judge you by posting … so please go back to school or ask someone to give some lessons in basic English and typing too.

        Finally, thank you for letting the world know you are indeed stupid.

  48. you all? think that FILIPINO ARE THAT BAD? don’t you all know FOREIGNERS ALSO TOOK PHOTO OF IT! And dont think filipino are evil, because only one person did this. you chinese are worse
    filipino employees getting killed by chinese, death threats, and hacking some government site. HOW NICE OF YOU TO DO THAT to those who does not have anything to do with it. Please don’t think that everyone, or the country is a crap. Because maybe you are crap , immatures who are overeacting on what happened and tried to kill filipino just because of it. There are so many reports here of death threats and killed filipino , and there are evidences that chinese did it.

    • Hey i am filipino, you care? … you are so bloody stupid … you were THE TRUTH … which is full of lies …

      NOW you wanna be a filipino …. Sorry! to be Filipino you have to be born in Philippines and have a Filipino parent … you think easy to be a Filipino … you are full of hot air … go and be yourself … a sad and sorry crap … you don’t even know who you are …

      I know who you are … You are a troublemaker, a racist but is so low on self esteem you have to take another person identity … you hide under false names …you are even disowned by your mother … ignored by father …your brother slapped you … your sister ashamed of you … your friends look down on you … and you hope to get friends here by being a joker .. … want to cause problem between Filipinos and Chinese … You are FIRED! LOL … NO FRIED as in fried chicken … How can anyone be so stupid?????

  49. The people in those photos are just ignorant people who lack education but they are not the majority. The police are not trained over there properly and the government has alot of downsides. You shouldnt take this as a personal offence at the whole race because majority of them are very apologetic and embarrassed for what happened to the extent that some filipinos that had nothing to do with the crisis and werent even there start writing apologies for the fault of their government officials. A similar hostage crisis happened in August 19, 2005: Filipino tourists were attacked and killed by a knife wielding 25 year old Chinese named Wang Gongzou. SHELL executive Emmanuel Madrigal and his family were alighting from their tourist bus in Beijing when attacked. Emmanuel Madrigal and his daughter died. Chinese authorities didnt even express regret for what happened. At least majority of filipino people are apologizing even if its not even directly theyre fault, just that they are so embarrassed that such a tragedy has happened in their country. Tourist murders happen all around the world not just in the Philippines and China, and the governments of most nations are not sympathetic either. Fact of the matter is that the philippine government is run by idiots because most of the educated ones want nothing to do with the government.. but dont let this be a reason to abuse ordinary people because there are some nice ones too. Its not right to generalise. In my country, we call that Racism.

    • Hey Megan Berry … You sounded very clear, very reasonable and fair …. UNTIL you bring up the PAST

      You know the past is very long … if you go back instead of looking forward you can be stifled with hate and revenge

      Philippines were colonised by Spanish … I am sure many Filipinos killed … much pain

      Philippines were colonised by USA … I am sure many women got raped … men beaten or killed too

      Japanese came and slaughtered millions

      Bad things happen … In China too … British came with Opium, Japanese killed millions, civil war … millions killed

      Do I hate them … I use to hate them but not now … I know better now!

      That is the past … if we bring up every incident … an eye for an eye … all of us will be blind!

      Now we are talking about 8 innocent dead and silly photo taking …. stick to this … you want to be a racist, easy … you want to hate, easy … because you only hurt yourself … others don’t care

      You think good Chinese care if you call them Chinks, Tiananmen, melamine , selfish …No … they are busy enjoying themselves, they have money, they travel and see the world … they don’t give a crap!

      Likewise good Filipinos care … if you call them monkey, poor . degenerate or whatever … the good Filipinos are going to church, spending quality time with family , enjoying goat soup and singing and dancing … so waste of time saying bad stuff …

      NOBODY CARES except stupid posters that cannot spell and cannot string a decent English sentence .. and has no friends except me as their torturer …..lol

      So let us keep it in perspective and don’t get crazy because it doe your health no good … being polite makes you feel better!

      • Hey Andrew Smith is that you (aka Richard) ?? Recognized your tone there..say hello to Laurenne for me.

        • Andrew Smith? … Steven Hunter? …. Sorry jap don’t know any of these people including Laurenne and jap!

          Just Richard, plain old kick ass type of guy … lol … see you guys … it was fun being here am going for a nice vacation

          Keep it nice fellas! Keep race out of it and there is no such thing as everybody hates the Filipinos or Chinese … zilch!

          Of course always some haters around … just like rapists, pedophiles, racists, murderers and stupid, bucketful of them like troublemakers … but basically people are decent … if not the world cannot function as it is … still unfair but okay

          Stand tall with the victims, criticize the incompetent police force and the bureacracy and condemn the troublemakers and opportunists who seek nothing but hate, fighting and chaos so as to justfy their warped lives.

  50. hey why would you people hate on the WHOLE philippines, I mean sure the police are shit and what happened was a quite disappointing event but not ALL of us are at fault, im a filipino and i agree that the country could use some major improvement, but dont go hating on the ordinary filipinos, cuz its not our fault.

    • Hey ZeroXIV … Nobody hate whole of Philippines … in fact many people love Filipinos … the Chinese, Americans, Canadians, British, Singaporeans … yes even HK people and many more I cannot finish saying ..

      They only hate the people who says the 8 innocent deserve to die and they are disappointed with the Filipino police

      i know I keep on repeating … I am like a broken record … keep on saying … only a very few Filipinos are bad … just like a few Chinese are bad … a few Americans are bad and Canadians too … there are bad everywhere
      … but here we feel for the victims, their family, their race etc and they want the Philippines Police to be better … to get their act together and punish the collaborators.
