They criticized the police didn't properly handled this dangerous situation and took too long to rescue the hostages. Many of them expressed they would not go to Philippine at least for now:
Steven Ma: I hate that one person's fault led to the death of others!...don't understand how to handle the cris? Then don't mess with it! How come you have to take others' innocent lives to prove your incompetence?
Ella Koon: Really mad and upset. Although I'm not a police, but I saw many opportunities for them to take down the gunman. But they chose to break in using force...Now I don't know whether I would go to Philippine again, because that place is really disturbing.
Raymond Wong: The country, the government, and the police don't even have the basic knowledge of how to protect citizens.
Cally Kwong: Level of the rescue strategy is very low, people aren't smart enough...He was standing at the door when he released the hostage. Police could've shoot him. I really don't understand. You see plots like this in movies all the time.
Roger Kwok and Cindy Ou: Watched interview with the Filipino president...he was smiling frivolously!
Michael Tse: After this incident, I've lost confidence at their police and security.
