Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte made a public apology for the killing of eight Hong Kong tourists during a bus hostage incident in Manila in 2010, a gesture that his predecessor had declined to make. A sacked police officer hijacked a bus carrying 15 Hong Kong tourists on August 2010, nine people, including the gunman died in a botched police rescue operation. Duterte was in Hong Kong on a holiday after holding talks with China’s President Xi Jinping on Tuesday, where the Philippines got 500 million renminbi ($80 million) in investment pledges from Chinese businessmen.
