DILG chief admits cops 'lacked skills, equipment' | PnoyTV | Pinoy TV

Interior Secretary Jesse Robredo admitted on Tuesday that Philippine policemen lacked the skills and equipment needed to handle hostage situations like Monday's 11-hour bloody hostage drama where nine people died, including the hostage-taker. Robredo said the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) will focus on the police's lack of skills and equipment as the two agencies conduct a joint probe into the hostage-taking incident.
