The hostage crisis in Greenhills ended without any fatality.
The resolution of the hostage incident was a relief to many people including former Senator JV Ejercito.
But the former lawmaker is baffled why the security guard, who took several people hostage, was allowed to hold a press conference.
“I am relieved that the hostage taking situation in Greenhills is over. Puzzled and disappointed why culprit was given chance to speak to media,” he tweeted.
Ejercito expressed concern that allowing a suspect to hold press conference might become a bad precedent.
“This is not good and may in fact become a precedent for other persons with gripes,” he said.
Ejercito later tweeted his congratulations to the San Juan police for resolving the hostage incident.
“Good job San Juan Police Department though. I have always been proud of our police force,” he said.
A sacked security guard will be slapped with several criminal charges after staging a hostage situation in San Juan last Monday. The hostage taker, who complained about his removal from his post, was arrested by policemen after a 10-hour standoff.
