Recently in Parañaque City, an armed man (native of Leyte) got arrested for taking a 2-year-old girl hostage, according to a Manila Bulletin news report. Very notably, GMA Network’s own news coverage of the incident includes the local mob reaction.
To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the Manila Bulletin news report. Some parts in boldface…
A man was arrested after he held a two-year-old girl hostage for one hour at Bulungan Market in Barangay La Huerta, Parañaque City on Sunday afternoon, April 13.
Lt. Madison Perie of the Parañaque City police said the suspect was identified as alias “Andy,” a native of Samar, Leyte.
Perie said the suspect, who was armed with a bladed weapon, was seen roaming around the area a few minutes before he took the girl who was playing near the street at Bulungan Market. Bystanders immediately called for police assistance.
Responding policeman, Pat. Samuel Melad, suffered a laceration on his right hand when he snatched the knife from the suspect. The girl was rescued unharmed.
Let me end this post by asking you readers: What do you think about this recent development? If you are a resident of Parañaque, are you concerned there could be some individuals out there who could target minors and take them hostage?
