Mendoza's Family Drapes Philippine Flag Over Coffin, China Cries Foul

The Chinese Embassy in the Philippines on Friday strongly condemned the draping of the Philippine flag over the coffin of dismissed police inspector Rolando Mendoza who killed eight Hong Kong tourists whom he held hostage in a bus in Manila on Monday.

In a statement, the Chinese embassy said a "cold-blooded" hostage-taker like Mendoza does not deserve to have the Philippine flag placed over his coffin.

"The Chinese Embassy in the Philippines condemns the brutality of the criminal and expresses its strong indignation over this irritating act," said the statement.

"The person who deserves a national flag at funeral should be someone of heroism, decency and integrity, and not someone who inflicts atrocity on innocent lives. This is nothing but a smear on the dignity of the Philippine national flag," it said.
