Pinoys ‘Major Major’ Love Jackie Chan
The action superstar and Hong Kong national, Jackie Chan, in his Twitter account, asked the people of Hong Kong not to direct their anger at the Philippine government or to Filipinos who live in their country:
“Humans should be united and not kill or hate each other.”
“HK is a nation built by a lot of different people…don’t worry! We do not hate!”
He said that the 11-hour standoff, which led to the death of hostage-taker Rolando Mendoza and 8 Hong Kong tourists, was also hard for the Filipino people, particularly the police.
“If they killed the guy sooner, they will say why not negotiate first? If they negotiate first, they ask why not kill the guy sooner? So sad.”
Presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda, on the other hand, thanked the action superstar who is also TIME magazine’s one of the “most influential people” for “extending his hand of friendship” to Filipinos.
A number of Filipinos replied to Jackie Chan’s twitter message expressing their gratitude to the action superstar for his remarkable sound judgment regarding the sensitive incident:
