Just about two hours ago, a hostage drama involving 32 children and 2 teachers in a school bus, in the Philippines, ended without any bloodshed.
The alleged hostage taker, a certain Jun Ducat, who is also the founder of the day care center where those children attended, peacefully surrendered after a 10-hour stand-off that stole the spotlight, having the world media covering every bit of the crisis.
What did he want from all that media-grabbing attention? Based on initial reports, all he wanted was for a change targeting on the widespread corruption in the government and a demand for a better education for all those poor children.
