The Study of Hostage Drama in Quirino Grandstand

The PNP Patrol Plan 2030 has four (4) perspectives considered to bring about the principal outcomes in the process of realizing its vision by 2030. Within each of these four perspectives are the planned priorities the PNP seeks to give a lot of importance to, as it goes about the strategic tasks related to ”become a highly capable, effective and credible police service.” Stakeholder’s support is highlighted as an important intervening factor in all of the four perspectives.

Police departments have struggle with making connection with the community in balancing between being efficient and effective. In the past, police were considered to be the cause of and solution to the social unrest due to the lack of proper training and community involvement. They were often confrontational when dealing with the public in which led to riots and such especially during the influx of migrating immigrants into the country. Interactions between the police and community had been a caused that divided the cities in which police were caught between American’s ideology of political and social life.

The potential for further violence, especially in the wake of an election could affect our ability to accomplish our mission. Especially since corruption and favoritism are widespread in the national police force due to low wages and understaffing.

A leap forward for the Philippines under the federal system of government or a step back

Retraining officers should be the first step. After recent reports, this would help prevent any police misconduct. As well as reassure citizens around them, knowing that the police force is doing their job correctly. Teach the police to be more a part of the community, not just armed forces. Police are instructed to use the least amount of force needed to “control an incident, effect an arrest, or protect themselves or others from harm or death.” They should continue to be trained under this guideline but be more enforced as to what to do or how to respond in tricky situations.

The use of excessive force and violent eruption caused to citizens by police officers is unacceptable! Police officers pledge to protect and assist citizens; however police officers are found guilty of breaking the law. Crimes committed by locals such as drug trafficking, human trafficking, and rape is just the tip of the iceberg for the crimes committed by the police officers. News media surprises citizens with some of the crimes the police department has to charge fellow officers. Police brutality is just one of the many crimes committed. The police officers are expected to protect the citizens unfortunately they are the ones harming the people. The police department has lost respect to the youths. Police officers are seen as monsters hiding

There is a pressing police issue that we need to resolve. I think it is important for the leaders of the police departments to hear and implement a solution. The problem is that there are so many reports of police use of excessive force. This is a serious problem that affects us all. People cannot trust the police department if the officers continue to use excessive force. This can lead to people not reporting crimes and taking matters into their own hands. The police department cannot protect and serve if the officers and community act as if they are at war with each other.

In the beginning of November, President Donald Trump will be traveling to Asia because of the rising tensions over North Koreas nuclear and missile programs. During his trip to Asia, he plans on seeing the President of the Philippines to possibly discuss human rights, rule of law and important developments. Donald Trump has praised the Philippine leader over the phone in May for doing an "unbelievable job on the drug problem.” Although, Duterte’s drug crackdown led to thousands of people being killed. Since the President of the United States praised him over the phone he has said that he would deal with U.S. President "in the most righteous way.” This is important because this could mean future cooperation, interdependence and mutual understanding

In the past six months, there has been a noticeable change in how Americans view the police forces. Though many believe the police must act with responsibility and care, they see the officers as doing what they feel is needed to protect the most people possible. Others appreciate the officers, but have low confidence in their decisions and believe they are abusing their authority. The public has responded in several ways to the recent killings of both civilians and police. However, life without police would be complete anarchy leading to more violence. It is because of these officers, that we, as Americans, are able to go out into our daily lives without total fear of our surroundings. Although many have responded to the escalation of

Following the disastrous terrorist attacks at the Olympic Games in Munich, the approach to handling hostage crisis had changed forever. Analyst and Investigators had responded to different ways in handling hostage situations, giving suggestions to various police departments and the FBI. The focus became the preservation of human life and getting the hostage away from the hostage takers and back to safety. There are a variety of incidents where negotiations are used. There is also a difference in using bargaining principles and crisis intervention techniques.

We can do better. We can use the DPS, prosecutor’s office, our own SIU investigators and IA Section to get all the pertinent facts, take a stand against crooked cops, and do the necessary follow-up work with the Training Academy to expose and train the entire department to the issues to make sure we keep criminal cops out of our organization. Not only can we do better, we must to better. Our reputation as dedicated police professionals is at stake.

The agenda for negotiation in May of 1999 included a variety of different topics, focusing on 12 main issues and 48 sub-issues. These issues included: “human rights, agrarian policy (the distribution of lands bought with drug money and the substitution of illicit crops), natural resources, the revision of the economic and social development model, reform of the Justice system and the state, accords on International Humanitarian Law (IHL), the redefinition of the peace-time role of the armed forces, and international agreements and the democratic mechanisms legitimizing these.” Efforts were made on behalf of both parties to build confidence. Among these efforts was the initiation of ceasefires during Christmas and the New Year in 1999/2000. It is important to note that, though each side was continuing in the peace process, there was no overarching

Martial Law has been described as the darkest years in Philippine history characterized by the looting of billions of pesos and iron rule of dictator Ferdinand E. Marcos and his family. With the media censored and the Armed Forces of the Philippines at the disposal of Marcos and his cronies, state-sponsored disappearances and abuses were the norm during the regime with over 70, 000 accounts of human rights violations in the conservative numbers. While the brutality of Martial Law has been an uncontested fact for years, disappearances of student activists from the previous administrations as well as killings of drug-suspects and indigenous people under the current Duterte administration have brought to light once again the issue of Martial Law; said issue which is being made to look like the necessary evil to fight the banes of society.

To begin, the political environment of the Philippines should firstly be addressed. In the modern day Philippines, they have established a multi-party democracy which has an elected president along with its legislature. Their democracy is set up exactly the same as ours in the United States. They have the framework of where the president is both the head of state as well as the government in general. Similarly their system is composed of the three independent branches which are the legislative, executive, and judicial branches. Under the leadership of the president, the executive branch makes the decisions for the government/country body as a whole; Congress- the Senate and the House of Representatives, controls the legislative branch; and the Supreme Court, held as the highest judicial body they have, is vested within the courts of the Philippines. Within their country contrary to ours, they hold elections every three years instead of our two. These elections have been held on the second Monday of May since 1992. The winners of these elections begin their time in office on the following June 30th. Although the Philippines have a democracy, not all of the regions within it have political power. Within the local government’s cities, provinces, municipalities and barangays, some regions merely exist just for the use of administrative purposes. (Doing Business In the Philippines, n.d.).
