Students held hostage on bus in Manila:
"I love these kids; that's why I am here," says Jun Ducat, the hostage-taker and owner of the day-care center where the children were taken from. Ducat said the hostage-taking was for the children's benefit. With the children chanting his name, Ducat was allowed to make a rambling statement, with media microphones laid beside a loudspeaker, in which he railed against corruption and politicians' failure to make good on promises of free education and housing for the poor. "I am asking for justice so they can have continued education up to college."
That is one sick bastard.

I wonder why they bothered to give him a loudspeaker. It would save a lot of time and effort if they just shot him.
shot him? wow, man, as if he wasn't holding a pin-less grenade that would've exploded if he had dropped it.
it would also be too risky to shoot him with many children inside the bus.
