Ted Failon will discuss the tactics of the police in handling the Quirino Grandstand hostage situation on the August 28 episode of Failon Ngayon.

After the hostage crisis at the Qurino Grandstand that resulted in the death of eight tourists and the hostage taker, broadcast journalist Ted Failon probes if police authorities bungled during the bus siege. Critics have begun to point accusing fingers at the police.

Dismissed police officer Rolando Mendoza, held more than 20 tourists captive on August 23 in a hostage crisis that lasted for around twelve hours. Why did the police fail to peacefully negotiate with the suspect? Did the assault team lack equipment and knowledge in handling the crisis?
