Extend a hand of friendship to the Philippines.
Yesterday, Jackie Chan said on Twitter that he had returned to Hong Kong to learn about the Philippine incident. He said that it was sad that the incident happened to Hong Kong people and was being discussed all over Hong Kong. He also escorted the Philippine police, saying that if the hijacker was killed, someone would blame him for not negotiating first; When the police negotiate first, they will be accused of not killing the hostage taker earlier. Finally, he said that Hong Kong is a multi-racial society. Don't worry, we don't hate it.
Jackie Chan's remarks were immediately acknowledged by Edwin Lassier, spokesman of the Philippine Presidential Office, at a press conference yesterday: "Thank you, Jackie Chan. We hope that Hong Kong people can extend a hand of friendship to us like you. "
Later, Jackie Chan was asked to apologize to the families of the victims.
