Congress should dig deeper

There’s no doubt that the fatal hostage-taking incident at the Luneta Park and the insolent reaction by some government officials that triggered a worldwide consternation could have been avoided.
In fact, it was just a repetition of the old pattern of ineptitude, buck-passing and scapegoating that should have been radically, not incrementally, corrected long time ago.
No need here to discuss what happened because the public saw it in living color for 11 hours.
Public concern should be on why it happened and how to prevent it from happening again.
Congress should jointly (Senate and House) do an in-depth probe and look for antecedents because what and why it happened was just a consequence of some antecedents, with far-reaching social, political, economic and national security implications.
