[Title] => No overkill in NAIA siege, official says
[Summary] => Wrong use of the term.
Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) Undersecretary and spokesman Thompson Lantion said there was no "overkill" in the police assault on retired Col. Panfilo Villaruel and Navy Lt. (sg) Ricardo Catchillar in the effort to retake the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal II (NAIA-II) control tower they seized last Saturday which resulted in their deaths.
Lantion clarified the police assault was not an overkill since conventional weapons were used against the two slain suspects.

[Title] => EDITORIAL - Flogging the dead
[Summary] => We can understand why a government would want to wrest back control ASAP of the air traffic control tower of the nation’s main international airport. We may even understand why special weapons and tactics team members would shoot to kill instead of to disable when running against time to regain control of a vital government installation.

[Title] => It’s not how they died but the ‘corruption’ they decried which draws ire
[Summary] => President Macapagal-Arroyo and the government are getting flak for what happened at the NAIA Airport Tower. Hoping to sound preachy, let me start out with the assertion that what the slain former ATO Chief, Col. Panfilo Villaruel, and his associate in the foiled "takeover", Navy Lt. (s.g.) Ricardo Catchillar, did was wrong.

[Title] => ‘Villaruel’s death was unnecessary’
[Summary] => The use of deadly force to end the control tower standoff at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) in Parañaque City before dawn Saturday was unnecessary.
This was the stand taken by aviation experts and close associates of former Air Transportation Office chief Col. Panfilo Villaruel Jr., who said the deaths of Villaruel and his aide, Navy Lt. (sg) Ricardo Catchillar, could have been prevented if the officials of the ATO, NAIA and Aviation Security Group (ASG) had coordinated closely and did not panic.
