Statement of Senator Pia S. Cayetano :
"P-Noy taking full responsibility does not absolve others on hostage crisis"

"Although I welcome President Aquino's initiative and courage to take full responsibility for the failed rescue operation and mishandling of the Manila Hostage Crisis, this does not absolve others of their responsibilty. Ultimately, only the swift and credible investigation will allow us to make a full accounting of the incident, including the responsibility of officials who had a more direct hand in dealing with the crisis."
