The ombudsman’s decision is unfair because Rolando Mendoza was being extorted. He didn’t have the chance to have a fair trial so hostage taking turns up to be a protest to have a fast-track a review of his administrative case. He was removed to service unjustly. Suspected errors or misleading statements “Philippine Health Secretary Enrique Ona said eight hostages had died. Earlier, Hong Kong Chief Executive Tsang, citing China’s Foreign Ministry, said seven Hong Kong residents were killed, two severely wounded and the remaining six hospitalized.” Is the source reliable? Explain. Yes, the source is reliable. Reuters is a worldwide agency like NY Times and has its branch here in Philippines. The news article shows a photo presenting the actual footage of the hostage-taking. The details are factual and statements are based on the persons people with sufficient knowledge of what happened. Like the witness’ statements, authorities’ stament from HK, suspect’s statement when he was arrested and our authorities’ here in the Philippines are all presented in the article. Is the source useful? Explain. Yes, because the news headline is connected to the body and the main/supproting details are factual. We can now validate the news we got from others (who/which are not reliable like chismis or fake news). It reveals also the current state (of that time) of the Philippines where we can now learn from it just like how the HK Chief Executive’s decsription on how it was handled. What can be learned from the document? The news article provides information on the historic manila hostage crisis. Researchers will find out about the manila hostage crisis what happened then and what is the reason why Ronaldo Mendoza hosted. Aside from that, Philippines learned how to handle situations like that. Source become a story where we can now go back to it
from any time. It awakened also the system when it comes to justice.
