Deadline for Manila hostage talks today

Although today is the deadline for the Philippines to settle the Manila tour bus hostage crisis in order to avoid sanctions, Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying just simply said that talks with Manila will continue.

Leung also expressed that the Philippine government has shown a positive attitude to trying to resolve the situation with Hong Kong, the victim’s family members and survivors, although he is hopeful further progress can be made reports The Standard.

A couple of weeks ago, the first survivor received compensation from the Philippines. Read more about it here.
