Even if the grenades used by publicity seeker Armando Ducat were duds, authorities must find out where these came from. They must also find out the source of his Uzi assault rifle and .45-caliber pistol. Illegal possession of a .45-caliber handgun is worrisome enough. If a man like Ducat, who shows symptoms of mental illness, has in his possession two grenades and an assault rifle, people should really worry about their safety.

Ducat, said by some to be a quiet, respected businessman, held 26 children and four teachers hostage in a school bus.

For this caper, police have filed charges of serious illegal detention and illegal possession of firearms and explosives against Ducat, a 56-year-old civil engineer. They are also mulling whether to charge Ducat with violating anti-terrorism and anti-child abuse laws.

Pero, sa isang panayam sa loob ng kulungan sa Manila Police District, idiniin ni Ducat na walang sinumang pulitiko o makapangyarihang tao ang nagtulak sa kanya para isagawa ang pangho-hostage.
