Mga Balita sa Tondo Manila

Depressed na tatay took his 3 kids as hostage sa Tondo Manila. Isang 49-year-old man na siguro napag-tripan ang kantang “miss kita kung christmas” at ayon sa kamag-anak na depressed daw dahil ayaw kausapin ng asawa sa telephone na nagtra-trabaho sa Amerika kaya ayun naisipan ihostage yung 3 anak  bandang alas-sais (6:00pm) sa kanilang bahay sa Quiricada Street, Tondo Manila.  Dahil siguro na rin sa kaguluhan ay nasaksak ang isang bata sa braso ng kanilang ama sa dala nitong kutsilyo.

“Kutsilyo lang ang dala niya. Nakatakbo (at) nasaksak (ang isa) sa braso, sinaksak ng tatay. (Mario had only a knife with him. One of his children managed to escape but not before he stabbed him in the arm),” PO3 Christopher Pascual of the Manila Police District said.

Pascual said Cruz and the children were taken to the Metropolitan Hospital. He said the children were aged 15, 13, and 11.

The dzBB report said a Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team rushed inside Cruz’s house after deciding that it would be more dangerous if they allowed the hostage situation to last into the night.

Relatives of Cruz said he likely snapped when his wife working in the United States refused to talk to him on the phone.

Ayon kay Aling Pilar Maglalang, isang kamag-anak na napaka-chismosa at siguro natakits nya for sure ang posibleng pag-gamit ng bawal na gamot ng suspect dahil ng sa nabad-trip sa inasal ng jowa nya.

“Hindi niya gagawin yan, kung matino yan napakabait sa anak. Depressed na depressed na siya. Ayaw siyang kausapin sa telepono ng asawa, baka maraming trabaho ang asawa kaya hindi kinakausap. Pag ganyan nagwawala na siya, gumagamit (He would not do that. He’s a very kind dad. It was just that he was depressed. His wife would not talk to him maybe because she had much work. When that happens, he snaps and uses drugs),” she said

at eto naman ang balita sa wikang banyaga…

The city government of Manila, through chief of staff Ric de Guzman, has ordered the closure of a private market which has been operating in violation of city regulations.

Tasked by De Guzman to implement the order were department of public services chief, Ret. Col. Carlos Baltazar, market chief Efleda Castro and city administrator Jesus Mari Marzan, who served notice to the operators of the Asuncion Market in Divisoria to cease operations until further notice.

Baltazar said the city government could not take over the said market owing to a pending court case between its owner and Councilor Dennis Alcoreza who has been operating it.

It was learned that Alcoreza and the owner of the market are in a tug-of-war over its ownership.

According to Baltazar, the operation of the market under Alcoreza is illegal, since it is not backed by the necessary franchise and has not been paying the city its dues.

Marzan, meanwhile, said that the some 200 stall holders peddling their wares in the said market have been paying Alcoreza fees ranging from P100 to P200 a day.
