There are also relevant examples in this regard. On August 23, 2010, former Philippine police officer Mendoza hijacked a passenger car of a Hong Kong tour group at gunpoint in downtown Manila. There were 22 Hong Kong tourists and 3 Filipinos in the car. The 12-hour standoff finally killed the robbers, but due to many related factors, 8 Hong Kong tourists were killed in the incident. . .
In this incident, the amateurism of the Philippine government and the police was questioned in various ways, but in fact, the live broadcast of the hostage rescue scene was another major reason for the failure of the hostage rescue, just like the police malfeasance. I'm sure many broadcast journalists also appreciate that live coverage of ongoing hijackings can be problematic. Unfortunately, most journalists indulge in frantic chasing events and can't help calm things down, let alone calm themselves down. Many viewers blamed live coverage on TV and radio for disturbing the kidnappers.
Throughout the hostage-taking process, many signals suggested that the incident would eventually be resolved peacefully. Mendoza had released several hostages earlier in the afternoon, and his demands for fuel and food were met. The exchanges between Mendoza and the negotiators at the kidnapping scene appear to be continuing. The mutation occurred during a row with Mendoza's brothers and other relatives in front of the police station in Plaza Ronta, when they burst into anger and the police lamely arrested them. Shortly after the string of events was broadcast and televised live, gunshots were heard in the bus.
Mendoza's fragile nerves have reached the breaking point - all sin is freed.
At the time of the incident, no media outlet could resist the temptation not to deliver all the violent and gory details of the news to viewers. I flicked the remote control and noticed that the Philippine ABS-CBN, GMA, ANC, Tele-Radyo, Net21 and Q, and ABC5 channels, and even the government channels, were covering the hostage crisis in a breathless and ill-considered way.
They all reported police stations surrounding the tour bus, including commandos attempting to approach from behind the bus. It was very bad that Mendoza's relatives nearby or on site apparently communicated with him on the phone. Live coverage on radio and television gave him an idea of what to do when police tried to get close.
Ultimately, however, the greatest responsibility rests with the Philippine government and the Metropolitan Metropolitan Police, whose shameful and terrible malfeasance shook not only the country, but the world.
