PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Rolando Mendoza ? The Philippine National Police (PNP) identified the hostage taker as former Police Senior Inspector Rolando Mendoza. Mendoza was dismissed from service for extortion and forcing a chef to swallow  "shabu."
 Two police officers  Superintendent Orlando Yebra Jr. and Chief Inspector Romeo Salvador  have started negotiations with Mendoza.
 Mendoza is demanding authorities to clear his name and be reinstated to the service.
 MPD spokesman Police Chief Inspector Erwin Margarejo said in a press briefing that the use of force against the hostage taker will be a last resort. He added that Mendoza's demand for reinstatement will be studied and will undergo undue process.
 Philippine President Benigno Aquino III has appealed to Mendoza to "honor and respect" the lives of hostages. The government is hoping that tourists will view it as an "isolated incident" and that "it does not reflect real situation of the country."
 Mendoza was carrying an M-16 rifle when he abducted the bus  with plate number TUU 799  Monday morning. The abduction was held near Rizal Park  a major tourist site in Manila.
