Hostage-taker hiningan umano ng taga-Ombudsman ng P150K
Bahagyang natigil ang hearing ng Department of Justice (DOJ) nang umakyat ang blood pressure ni Chief Inspector Romeo Salvador habang nagbibigay ng kanyang testimonya.
Noong una ay kalmado pa ang assistant negotiator nang humarap sa panel.
Aminado si Salvador na wala siyang pormal na training sa negosasyon sa hostage taking, maliban sa pakikibahagi niya sa dating kaso ng pang-hohostage ni Jun Ducat.
Ikinuwento rin ni Salvador kung ano nangyari sa unang hiling ng hostage-taker na si senior inspector Rolando Mendoza.
Sabi ni Salvador, sa DOJ sana unang hiniling ni senior inspector Rolando Mendoza na ma-review ang kaso niya at hindi niya alam kung bakit napunta na sa Ombudsman ang usapan.
Maya-maya lamang, natigil ang hearing nang magkaalta-presyon si Salvador pero nagpilit siyang magtuloy sa testimonya.
May nakausap din si Mendoza sa cellular phone na galing sa opisina ng Ombudsman, kung saan may narinig siyang mga mura.
Sa naturan umanong pag-uusap, hiningan umano si Mendoza ng mga taga Ombudsman ng P150,000 na lalong ikinagalit ng hostage-taker.
Nilinaw din niya na pinayagan ng crisis committee si Mendoza na ma-interview ng isang babaeng reporter pero hindi rin ito natuloy dahil gusto ni Mendoza na gawin ang interview sa loob ng bus.
Samantala, sa testimonya ni National Capital Region Police Office chief, Director Leocadio Santiago, nilinaw niya na maagang nakarating sa Quirino Grandstand ang mga taga-Special Action Force pero hindi sila nagamit sa unang assault. – Niko Baua, Patrol ng Pilipino

AMIGOS..S.O.P. NA YAN MGA LAGAYAN SA MGA COURT CASES SA PINAS..PERA-PERA LANG YAN MGA AMIGOS KO....
malamang totoo
tingin ko totoo...kasi itong sa ombudsman natin, balita ko corrupt. kahit walang evidence, tuloy pa din ang kaso...
kaya siguro nagwala tong si Mendoza, pero baka din naman corrupt police din si Mendoza..
sabi nga nila, ang corrupt, galit sa kapwa corrupt.
Gonzalez commented
So from the horse's mouth, Mendoza indeed uttered the statement. There was something about P150K.
'Hindi totoo yan, hindi nga tayo magkakilala, hindi tayo nagkikita.' .The statement raise some doubts. Is it not he is the one handling Mendoza's case? Did he not conduct any formal investigation and hearing before sumitting his recommendation of dismissal to his superior?
From testimonies of Manila Vice Mayor Moreno, all he heard from Gonzalez was 'ok' during their conversation with Mendoza, does this mean Moreno is in Cohort with Mendoza and Salvador to set Gonzalez up?
“Ang gusto niya, maglabas ako ng resolution sa motion niya on that date, granting the motion. When you say granting the motion, acquitted siya". So he know of Mendoza's real demand despite the fact that according to testimonies of all authorities and personnels involved in negotiations know that at that time Mendoza was demanding a review only. Why did he not communicated this when they are meeting to take action on the Ombudsman's part? Why did they issue something much less than hostage taker is demanding? This meant that the Ombudsman's office had a part on contributing to the change of Mendoza's attitude?
"Hindi naman siya nagmumura. Hindi ko alam kung saan nanggaling ‘yun". Somebody is lying here, but this could be cleared if the Driver could testify.
Why did he not wanted to be investigated? But any way, it is not his call. Let the investigating team decide on that.
It seems that more questions instead of answers arise out of his response.
For the IIRC and DOJ, recommend and conduct a thorough investigation. If the man is innocent, give him back his good name. If the man is guilty, then he must be the greatest culprit on the entire Manila Hostage incident.
For all of us, the people, the commenters and bloggers, and the media, let us be alert and kept a watchful eye on this.

NOT ONLY FROM THE OMBUDSMAN
PNoy must recall all midnight appointees of Mrs. Arroyo in the judiciary particularly RTCs, MTCCs and MTCs in the provinces of Central Luzon the region of Mrs. Arroyo.
Scenario I: After case of
Scenario I:
After case of Mendoza et al was dismissed by PNP and Napolcom, the complainant went to the Ombudsman, the person handling the case was Director Gonzalez, and it was during the course of investigating the case Gonzalez tried to extort P150K from Mendoza in order to dismiss the case. Mendoza can't pay, so recomendation and decision was subsequently made by Office of the Ombudsman to dismiss Mendoza from service.
Secnrio II:
The Ombudsman issued decision to dismiss Mendoza from service, Mendoza et al filed Motion for Reconsideration which ends up in the hands of Gonzalez, and Gonzalez tried to extort P150K from Mendoza to reverse the decision and dismissal.
Either way, it made Mendoza felt that he lost his hope in because he couldn't pay for the amount, and it made him decide to take the hostage taking path.
Nobody will believe that Gonzalez made the demand over the phone. But we could notice from the testimonies that while Mendoza was shouting those words and statements to Gozalez over the phone, Gonzalez couldn't react (probably he was guilty) except for saying "ok".
The dismissal and the extortion from Gonzalez caused Mendoza to believe there are no other reprieve but to take the action as he did that fateful Monday.
I remember this?
IMHO I dont buy it simply bec. it was a hearsay that came from the police (salvador) who can have all the motives to divert the blame to others.
If this was true then why Mendoza didnt spill the beams out in the open to the media & public prior and/or during the time when he knows the world is watching?
are you serious?
are you going to fool around with DOJ?
Familiar?!
You talk like a lawyer from the Office of the Ombudsman...hehehe...
Kidding aside.
Lets first assume Mendoza really made those statements as Salvador says, When someone is prepared to die or at the height of his anger and emotions, most probably he is telling the truth. Now lets assume Salvador made it up, what is his motive? To divert blame? he do not need to do that, specially against someone from the Ombudsman's office, unless he want to say goodbye to his career and benefits like Mendoza. He already had an excuse, di ba sinabi niya: "May nakialam lang kasi eh".
Why Mendoza did not spill the beans out? If I am in his place, I won't immediately spill the bean too, because as a police office, he knows the best time would be in a sworned testimony in a court trial after the hostage incident. I think he will if given the chance. Or maybe he did, let us wait for some more testimonies, specially from those media people who had interviewed him.
Of course I wouldn't and I have no capacity to judge if Gonzalez was indeed guilty. But I do have strong doubt regarding his innocence.
Beside you have the wrong concept about hearsay.
Hearsay is information gathered by one person from another concerning some event, condition, or thing of which the first person had no direct experience.
In this case, Salvador is just narrating what he (assuming he is not lying) actually heard Mendoza was saying.
Everybody is entitled to his/her own opinion and has the right to express it. That is what this kind of blog spaces are for. As commentators here we can point out perceived errors of other's comments, but we should never engage in attack against persons which is much uncivilized and not to mention being illegal.
Your opinion has my respect too.
