STATEMENT OF SEN. LOREN LEGARDA
RE; HOSTAGE SITUATION OF KOREAN TOURISTS IN QUIRINO GRANDSTAND / KOREAN NATIONAL
IN RP SHOT DEAD

Kailangan improve ng police ang security measures tulad ng police visibility.

Care must be exercised during the recruitment process especially that the hostage taker is a former policeman.

This will have a negative impact on our tourism efforts and will impact on the overall peace and order situation in the country.

An investigation is in order by government.

As Chair of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, I will check all matters concerned including the shooting of the Korean national.
