Statement of Sen. Nancy Binay on the fitting closure
of the 2010 Luneta hostage crisis

I share the joy with the Filipino people and the thousands of migrant workers in Hong Kong in celebrating the good news as the Hong Kong SAR government finally accepted the formal apology extended by former President and Manila Mayor Joseph Estrada on behalf of the City of Manila to the families of the victims of the unfortunate incident in August 2010.

I believe this unprecedented breakthrough will pave the way for reconciliation and the mending of the relations between the Filipino people and the people of Hong Kong.

We also hope and pray that this gesture would bring closure to the families of the victims of the tragic event.
