- The Filipino reaction to Int'l reactions to the Bus Hostage Crisis - Very Wrong
  The Manila Bus Hostage Crisis revealed everything that was wrong in Filipino culture, from the policeman with misplaced pride and who through corrupted logic thinks he can gain "justice" by holding people hostage, to the Filipino reaction of defensiveness against international criticism.
