Hostage Taking in Greenhills Shopping Mall, San Juan City, Manila
Hostage Taking in Greenhills Shopping Mall, San Juan City, Manila
I. Facts
Security Guard name Alchie Paray, 40 years old held
hostage 30 people most of whom are mall employers at the
office of the mall administration which was located on
the second floor, and shot the head of security Roland
Velita with a 4.5 Caliber Pistol. Velita was rushed to
the Cardinal Santos Medical Center and his Condition is
now stable. Hostage also carried 1 grenade and fake star
apples pretented they were explosives.
The former guard was fired from safeguard armor
Security Corporation after being absent without leave for
weeks. But the general manager Oscar Hernandez of the
security company clarified that the hostage taker was not
fired but was only supposed to be assigned as part of
their company rules and policy of rotating security
guards. Paray claimed that there was no rotation scheme
implemented among mall’s security personnel as he been
work about two years. The point is Paray plan the
hostage taking to take action and to voice out the
corruption in his workplace and how the patronage system
thrives Everyone takes the money this situation is last
year December.
While in the scenario paray knew it his consequence and
face what he did. He says sorry for the people inside
administrative office and he had given all the food his
hostages. He had no intention of hurting anyone.
V. Conclusion
No one deserves to be stripped of their jobs
unfairly. Employers should be treat their employee’s
right! I’m glad has an investigation will be held in
response to Archie Paray’s claims of corruption from
his employers. It seem that justice may still be
done for this man.
Whatever trauma any hostages had from this
experience should never be invalidated .Remember
that NONE OF THEM deserve to experience something
like this.
Alchie PArays actions shouldn’t be glorified not
romantized
Worked rights should be made recognizable to every
employee regardless of their class in society.
VI. Recommendations for improvement
To all management, respect each other.
