The Philippine flag was draped over the coffin of the hostage-taker in his funeral. This man was an extortionist, a kidnapper, and a mass murderer – a common criminal. It's the same flag they draped over a patriot named Corazon Aquino. Now apparently a few policemen found time to pose for a souvenir photos in front of the scene of massacre of eight innocent people – the tourist bus. A shameless display of bad taste. Again a few morons in the Police force, or is it just a few..

Don't be so harsh on the Philippino police. They ended the hostage situation. Sometimes inintended consequences occur during extreme situations. All the blame should be leveled on the HOSTAGE TAKERS.
