Hongkong Blacklisted The Philippines

Philippines is now listed as blacklisted for Hongkong. Yes Hongkong government officially stated and warned their fellowmen to avoid traveling to the Philippines. This is very sad. Hopefully many tourist will still like our country and will still go there. For sure Philippine tourism will be affected from the hostage drama occur last Monday which most victims are Honkong nationals. Hopefully the friendship that was built will remain and see them coming again in the Philippines in the near future.

This is a very sad news and a big shame to the Filipino community. I woke up this morning and turned the tv on and this was what I have witnessed. A hostage taking took place in the city of Manila today. It was a tragic event especially for the tourist who were headed back home. It is suppose to be their flight going back to Hongkong today but were held by a former policemen. It is not only a big shame to our country but also to the police department. According to the news, 15 Hongkong nationals were held and confirmed that 8 died. This is a very sad day in our country and hopefully justice will be served to the victims.
