How My Apple IPad Made Me Aware Of A Hostage Crisis That Rocked A Nation
This last Aug 23 was a lonely day for the Philippines because former police officer by the name of Rolando Mendoza took Hong Kong tourists hostage and in the end of the day was killed along with 7 other people inside a bus.
I usually have no concern with these kinds of events but this one was particularly different. Here is why.
I was just browsing the internet last week when I happen to see a blog suggesting a very useful application for the iPad that can update you with breaking news 24/7. This so called cool iPad app is from Fox news and after reading the description and I love Fox already in the first place, I decided to download it to my pad. Knowing the news directly was an idea the quite appealed to me.
Though at first when I got it, I wasn’t really the exact thing that I was thinking of having but since it was for free anyway, I thought of giving it a try for a couple of weeks. I was able to purchase my iPad insurance online and it was comprehensive and didn’t give me hassles so I was thinking it this app couldn’t that bad.
So I got the Fox news app and it was running ok in my iPad. Within 2 days I was already appreciating it, getting breaking news and even update stock market news as well. But at this particular flash news about a hostage crisis in Manila last August 23 really was the one that caught my attention.
It was really attention grabbing for me because in the Fox headline, I saw the name of the hostage taker and it immediately rang a bell in my memory. The name really sounded familiar. I would not have taken much notice of this if I didn’t have that app. Maybe I would have noticed it but it’ll be later in the week.
At that precise moment I decided that getting this application was not a mistake after all. Like getting comprehensive insurance for iPad, this is probably the second wisest things I have done in connection with my iPad that I got online.
That pleasing experience I had when I purchased iPad insurance online opened my mind that getting online applications online was such a bad idea if I was getting it from authentic companies like Fox.
The news I got an earlier date made me realize that this man was one of the 10 outstanding police men I saw in my uncle’s picture collection in the 1980’s.
He was once an active officer of the JCI or otherwise known as Jaycees and he had a collection of pictures in his scrapbook that he always was proud of and shared with us. I looked at it again and I saw that this Mendoza was once a decorated police officer.
Just what exactly pushed and triggered this man to commit such a horrific crime I’m sure will be the topic of forums for months to come.
