Hong Kong — The Hong Kong government has issued a statement saying they were “very disappointed” with the outcome of the hostage siege in Manila which left some seven Hong Kong tourists dead.
The city’ Chief Executive Donald Tsang told a press briefing that, “The outcome is very disappointing. It is a tragedy because a pleasure trip has ended up with casualties and injuries.”
As of press time, Tsang says he has not yet reached President Aquino to confirm pertinent information. He demanded that the Filipino authorities provide full account of the deadly incident to the Hong Kong government.
“We have to get the information from the authorities there. Until now I still cannot have a full grasp of the situation. The numbers (of casualties and injured) keep changing.”
