China demands answers on hostage murdersNoy inaccessible throughout crisis — HK’s Tsang08/25/2010 President Aquino committed a huge diplomatic blunder by making himself inaccessible and unavailable to Hong Kong’s chief executive Donald Tsang all throughout the 12-hour hostage crisis. Aquino remained silent all throughout the crisis, even after it was known that eight Hong Kong tourists were killed by the lone gunman, a disgruntled and sacked bemedalled policeman. Aquino finally made an appearance after midnight, or Tuesday early morning, when he called for a press conference and extended his condolences to the relatives of the victims. Protocol demands that when such crisis occurs, the host country (Philippines) initiates a call to the other country, in this instance, Hong Kong’s special region, to keep an information flow on the crisis going. Instead, Aquino made himself unavailable to Chinese leaders. “The way it is handled — particularly the outcome — is very disappointing,” Tsang told reporters late Monday as he bared it at a press conference in Hong Kong, while expressing his deep disappointment in the Philippine government’s handling of the hostage crisis.
