00:26You can also see in the video that she was being talked to by Pasay City Police.
00:30The victim said, Sir, they're taking her hostage.
00:39Meanwhile, in Pagadian City, Zamboanga, Garzun,
00:42a man was the hostage of a senior citizen inside a hospital.
00:49In these kinds of incidents, every second is critical and important.
00:56But the negotiators of the authorities,
00:58do they have enough capacity and ability to save the victims?
01:04Around 5 p.m. this afternoon, October 15, 2023,
01:09while the woman was guarding her store in Pilapin Street in Pasay City,
01:14a man heard her asking for help.
01:18He was asking for help from the police because he was being taken hostage.
01:24Before the hostage-taking incident happened,
01:27the woman was already in the hospital.
01:30Before the hostage-taking incident happened here in Tash Avenue, Adelsa,
01:34the people of this area noticed something unusual.
01:38There was a man who was standing here, looking around,
01:42not knowing what to do.
01:44He already had a plan.
01:47Immediately, Pasay City Police responded and called for an ambulance.
01:52I went to our base,
01:54to the ambulance.
01:56But when the police turned around,
01:59the D.A. approached me and said,
02:01Sir, the man was being taken hostage.
02:03I went to him. He was already there with me.
02:07Using a broken bottle,
02:09the man was hostaging a woman who was passing by.
02:13We are also afraid of that.
02:16Come here. Come here.
02:18You are already in trouble.
02:20You are already in trouble.
02:21Come here. Come here.
02:23You are already in trouble.
02:25We didn't know what to do.
02:27We just went inside.
02:30Patrolman Joseph Cabe
02:32was the negotiator for the hostage-taking.
02:35Come here. Come here.
02:40I don't know what the man needs.
02:43What else do you need?
02:45Food? Massage?
02:47He offered everything.
02:49To calm him down.
02:51But it seems that the suspect refused
02:54to talk to the police,
02:56even to the people around him.
02:58He was being held hostage.
03:00He said that he will accompany him.
03:03I don't know where he will accompany him.
03:06I told him to calm down.
03:09If you need an ambulance,
03:11you need an ambulance.
03:14The negotiation lasted for almost 10 minutes.
03:17You can also see in the video
03:19that the ambulance arrived
03:21and the man asked for help.
03:23The ambulance arrived.
03:25He told me to come here.
03:27I went behind him and approached him.
03:30But a witness noticed
03:32that the victim's neck was bleeding.
03:36Do you see that?
03:38The man's neck is bleeding.
03:40When I saw it,
03:42his neck was bleeding.
03:46At that moment,
03:48he didn't hesitate
03:49until the man
03:52approached the suspect.
03:54I tried not to go inside.
03:56I climbed up here.
03:58You climbed up here?
04:00Yes, I climbed up here.
04:02Until he calmed down,
04:04he didn't calm down.
04:06He was holding his neck.
04:10I pinched him.
04:12You pinched him?
04:14Yes, I pinched him.
04:16At the same time,
04:18he didn't move.
04:20He didn't move.
04:23Tomas was coming out
04:25and several bystanders stopped the hostage taking.
04:28The victim was successfully rescued
04:30by the hostage taker.
04:33The suspect, Rodel,
04:35was introduced to the client,
04:3735 years old,
04:39Tugong Ilocos Norte,
04:41in my interview with Rodel.
04:43He couldn't explain
04:45why he was made a hostage.
04:47Why were you made a hostage?
04:49Someone told me
04:51that I was going to die.
04:54Someone told you
04:56that you were going to die?
04:59According to Rodel,
05:01that day,
05:03he went to Manila
05:05to look for a job.
05:07He was removed
05:09from the restaurant.
05:11Rodel also admitted
05:13that he was drunk.
05:15Sir, why are you in a hurry?
05:17Why were you drunk?
05:19I was drunk.
05:21Relax, relax.
05:23There were various reactions
05:25on social media
05:27that the police did not take action
05:29to ask for help from the suspect.
05:31But the Pasay City Police explained,
05:33What he wanted to happen
05:35is that if we call an ambulance,
05:37he will be there immediately.
05:39Of course, it takes time.
05:41We will call the base first
05:43and then the base will call the ambulance.
05:45Next,
05:47a man was made a hostage
05:49by a senior citizen
05:51inside the hospital.
06:04In Pagadian City,
06:06in Buanga del Sur,
06:08a man was made a hostage
06:10by a senior citizen
06:12inside the hospital.
06:14According to the patients,
06:15he was being taken to the hospital
06:17but he did not come back.
06:19He did not sleep for two days.
06:21Maybe he was disturbed.
06:23There was no pressure.
06:25There were no problems in the hospital.
06:27The negotiation took almost 30 minutes
06:29between the hostage taker
06:31and the police.
06:35According to the Pagadian City Police,
06:37the suspect just removed
06:39the victim
06:41when his cousin arrived.
06:43The investigation revealed
06:45that the man was able to go home
06:47and rest
06:49after several days of
06:51taking care of his cousin in the hospital.
07:00In 2010,
07:02the Philippine National Police
07:04issued a hostage negotiation handbook.
07:06The purpose of this is
07:08for the Philippine National Police
07:10to provide guidelines
07:12in handling the hostage-taking incident.
07:13There should be a negotiation team leader
07:15who will lead the negotiation
07:17with the hostage-taker.
07:19There should also be an on-scene commander
07:21or an official who will lead the operation.
07:23The PNP Negotiation Handbook also includes
07:25the formation of the
07:27Hostage and Crisis Negotiation Unit
07:29or HACNU
07:31to better handle
07:33these types of crimes.
07:35The PNP tried to get permission
07:37but they still have no answer.
07:44In the hostage-taking incident,
07:46the victim's foot was placed on the floor.
07:52Every step should be considered
07:54because in a wrong decision,
07:56life could be lost.
07:59That's why the authorities
08:01should have enough experience
08:03to ensure the safety of everyone.
