Bus Hostage Crisis at Quirino Grandstand | Please, This is Not a Tourist Spot
While doing my blog hopping, I saw this post in Technograph entitled “Bus Hostage Crisis: When Camwhoring Becomes Shameful”. To my surprise, stupid fellow Filipinos made the crime scene as a tourist spot. “Mahiya naman kayo!” that’s what I said when I saw the pictures. Some insensitive fellow Filipinos took a picture of them near the bus where people were killed on the tragic hostage taking incident. How could you smile while waiting for your camera took a shot even though you know that people died there? First I saw the pictures of the nursing students who took a group picture, “YAN BA PINAG AARALAN NYO?” What pissed me more is when I saw the pictures of policemen and SOCO members smiling on the camera and they are BESIDE the bus. I won’t post the pictures here, I don’t want to have it on my blog.While doing my blog hopping, I saw this post in Technograph entitled “Bus Hostage Crisis: When Camwhoring Becomes Shameful”.

On the blog post, it was stated there that someone Twitted the blog owner and said that the students are there because they were part of the ceremony paying respects for the dead, and these students are just taking a memento. Memento? WTF! If they really respect the dead, they shouldn’t have done that, all eyes are focused in our country because of that. We already experienced shame and embarrassment when we saw how the police handled the situation, and now you added more disgrace. And for the policemen who took their pictures, I know your point Mr.Technograph, I agree with you.
I apologize to those who might get affected of this issue, especially to those who experienced the tragedy.
