Why did Mayor Lim order the arrest of the hostage taker's brother at the height of the Manila hostage crisis?

President Noynoy Aquino: " Ang tamang daan ay tungo sa kapayapaan. Payapa sa Tondo. Kaya siguro dun gusto ni Mayor Lim na ilagay muna yung brother. Para tahimik na lahat."

Vice President Jejomar Binay: " Pasensya na ho. No comment na lang kasi dating kagalit ko din yang si Mayor.Condulence na lang sa namatayan."

Senate President Juan Ponce-Enrile: " Baka Mayor Lim wants the brother to be happy. Tondo is a happy place. Basta happy ka!"

Senator Chiz Escudero: " Maybe Mayor Lim wants the brother to drink Circulan"

Speaker Sonny Belmonte: " Bakit hindi na lang sa Payatas?"

Executive secretary Jojo Ochoa: " Probably, I think, hik, kulang lang sa inom si Mayor."

Vice Mayor Isko Moreno: " Nagawa ni Mayor Lim yun dahil taga Tondo siya. Taga Tondo rin ako. Walang kakilala sa Tondo yung brother ng hostage taker. Hindi makapanghohostage yun dun."

Communications Secretary Herminio Coloma: " I doubt it kung hindi nakuha ni Mayor Lim ang cue. Hindi naman inaccessible yung hostage taker ah."

Communications Secretary Ricky Carandang: " I confirmed na inutos nga ni Mayor Lim yun kasi nagmamadali siyang pumunta sa Emerald Restaurant for a nice round of drinks with Pnoy."

DILG secretary Jesse Robredo: " Wala akong alam dyan. Local governments lang ako."

DILG undersecretary Rico Puno : " Wala rin akong alam dyan. Pulis lang ako."

DSWD secretary Dingky Soliman: " Wala akong alam dyan. Baka siguro gustong pakainin yung brother. Marami kaming beneficiaries ng lumang NFA rice there. "

Kris Aquino: " Hindi naman magagawa ni Mayor Lim yun. He knows naman na its dirty there."

James Yap: " Hindi naman si Mayor Lim ang nagkasal sa min ni Kris."

General Magtibay: " Wala po akong masabi. Utos po ni Mayor. Yessir!"

General Santiago: " Di naman po masamang itapon, este, ipunta yung brother sa Tondo. Besides, daming maganda dun."

Manay Lolit: " Yokong magcomment. Hindi naman nakasulat sa envelope yan."

a bugged conversation with Pnoy

Shortly after the Harapan panel interview which was broadcasted live to the detriment of Philippine president Benigno Noynoy Aquino, this conversation was caught by one of our "insiders". Just listen in...

Staffer: " You were great, Mr. President.."
Pnoy: " Thank you, thank you. Sino ka nga pala?"
Staffer: " Sir, I am (tweet). "
Pnoy: " Ah....Samar or Balai? Dami nyo kasi, di ko na ma-remember.."
Staffer: " Balai po...pero, don't mention it out loud po, Mr. President. Baka ma pickup ng media..."
Pnoy: " Ah, oo nga pala, right, right. Wala pa lang paksyon, right. Sorry."
Staffer: " It's alright, Mr. President. Thank you rin po at napagbigyan kami sa request namin na humarap kayo sa media. Di kasi namin ma-convince sila eh."
Pnoy: " Eh, pano ninyong macoconvince, wala naman sa inyo yung dissemination of information. Di ba, Samar ang bahala dun? "
Staffer: " Yun nga po eh. At least, sa broadcast, me laban kami. Sila naman, sa print lang yata."
Pnoy: "Really? Ah, okey, okey."

(another staffer approaches Pnoy)

Staffer 2: " Sir, punta na tayo sa next appointment." (staffer eyes the other from head to toe.)
Pnoy: " Right, right, teka, alisin ko muna itong amerikana ko."
Staffer 2: " Getting hot under the collar ba ho?"
Pnoy: " Come again?"
Staffer 2: "Nothing Mr. President. I really don't agree with this po, Mr. President. Nagmukha kayong..."
Pnoy: : " Okey lang, okey lang. I enjoyed it though. Kahit na madaming questions, okey lang. Did I answered the questions well? Okey naman ba?"
Staffer 2: " As usual Mr. President. I just hope maniwala ang taumbayan..."
Pnoy: " Come again? Staffer ka ba talaga dito? Anong grupo ka ba?"
Staffer 2: " Sir, I was the recommendation of Senator Chiz po."
Pnoy: " Ah, I see....Samar ba?
Staffer 2: " Nope po. Binay group."
Pnoy: " Ah, kaya pala."
Staffer 2: " Come again po, Mr. President?"
Pnoy: "Nothing, nothing. O sige na. let's go to our appointment.."

Staffer 1 intervenes...

Staffer 1: " Excuse me, Mr. President..."
Pnoy: " Yes po..."
Staffer 1: " Let me remind you Mr. President that your next appointment is with sir RC po and sir MQ po later.."
Pnoy: " I thought its a drinking spree with Paquito sa Samar..."
Staffer 2: " Yes, that's in the schedule.."
Pnoy: " I thought so too."
Staffer 1: " Sorry po but it was changed this morning Mr. President. You need to go with us sa Balai to eat merienda."
Pnoy: "Ganun ba? "
Staffer 1: "Yes, Mr. President."
Pnoy: " Who changed the schedule?"
Staffer goes near the President's ear.
Pnoy: "Ganun ba? Okey, okey.Sige...Col. Dizon!"
Col. Dizon: "Yes Mr. President"
Pnoy: " Prepare my toys. I am going to Balai."
Staffer 1 smiles. Staffer 2 frowns.

Staffer 2: But Mr. President...
Pnoy: " Don't say anything. I am just following schedule. Tell Paquito to just drink and wait for me.Wag kamong maglasing nang wala pa ako, okey?"
Staffer 2: (lamely) Ok po Mr. President."
