Yintoni enokwenzeka kubachwephesha bexesha likaxakeka ngexesha lokuthinjwa? Ngawaphi amanyathelo ekufuneka athathwe? Amanyathelo okhuseleko? Nali ityala obone i iigulane abasebenzi abasebenza kwiPhilippines.

Ityala lengxaki yokuthinjwa ePhilippines -Ingxelo kagqirha engxamisekileyo

Around 9:00 AM ka-Agasti 23, 2010, sifumene umnxeba osuka ku-117 ukuba kukho isityholo ukuthatha inxaxheba. Iziko lezoNxibelelwano lesahluko sam lithumele umnxeba kum kuba bengazi ukuba benze ntoni. Ndibuza imibuzo kwi-117 kodwa abakwazi ukunika umfanekiso wekhonkrithi wale meko. Ndiyidlulisele kumlawuli wezahluko zethu kwaye ndacelwa ukuba ndisebenzise iqela lethu ukuba liqhubeke kuba lalikufuphi neofisi yethu.

Ngoku ndibe nguMmeli weNkonzo weSahluko seManila owayephatha iigulane. Kwimeko apho, ndinguye kuphela umsebenzi oqeqeshiwe kwiSahluko sethu ukuphendula kwi-a imeko yongquzulwano ngoko isahluko somlawuli sinqume ukuba ndimele ndihambe kunye neqela kuba ndinobuchule. Ukwakhiwa kwam iqela lam libaninzi elitsha kwaye abanalo amava kwimeko enjalo kuba ndinemvelaphi kwaye ngelixa singekabikho kwindawo esele ndiyilungele kuzo imeko enokuthi sinakho nayiphi na enye inkcazelo endiyifunayo malunga nomcimbi.

Njengommeli weNkonzo yeSahluko ngaphakathi kwam kummandla wolawulo, Sele ndiyazi ininzi yabasebenzi bezinye ii-ambulensi kuba abanye babo bangamavolontiya amdlulileyo awayeqeshwe kwenye intlangano kwaye ininzi leqela lavolontiya lasiqonda ngokuba ngowokuqala kwindawo. Xa sifikile kwindawo ekuqaleni ingxelo yayiyinkqubo yokuthabathela kwindwendwe sasingazi ukuba yeyiphi na inqwaba yezixhobo ezazisenziwa.

Unxibelelwano ebaleni lwalucelomngeni kuba ibhasi yayisembindini weGreater ukuba indawo yokuyalela yayikwelinye icala, sithembele kuphela kwicala oonomathotholo ukusuka kwikomkhulu kuba emva koko sisebenzisana kuphela nolwazi lweqela lekomkhulu leSizwe elivela kwi-ERU malunga nokuhamba kweqela le-ambulensi.

 

Ityala lengxaki yokuthinjwa ePhilippines-ukufika

Safika kwindawo kwaye sidibanisa nesitishi samapolisa kuba bekukho isikhululo samapolisa kufutshane nalapho sasipake khona. Ulwazi lwantlandlolo esasinalo ngumthathi-nxaxheba omnye “uMhloli oMkhulu uRolando Mendoza”. UMhloli oPhezulu uRolando Mendoza oneminyaka engama-31 esenkonzweni wagxothwa ngokufutshane Isithili samapolisa aseManila ngenxa yokubandakanyeka kwesi sehlo samapolisa eManila. Umnumzana Mendoza wakhwela ibhasi esuka e-Fort Santiago, e-Intramuros Manila kwibhasi yabakhenkethi, i-Hong Thai Travel Bus, njengoko sikuvileyo sithwele i-M16, Hand Gun kunye ne-grenade. Kwakukho isiphithiphithi ukuba umnumzana Mendoza ubeke ibhombu ebhasini.

Ngeli xesha, sasusa i-ambulensi yethu kwicala lesikhululo samapolisa esinombono ocacileyo ukusuka ebhasini sayibeka ngasemva kwilori yomlilo hayi ngokuthe ngqo kwisiza sebhasi. Ababandakanyeke kakhulu kwingxaki yokuthinjwa yayiyibhasi yabakhenkethi eyakhiwe ngabantu abangama-22 abavela eHong Kong kunye nabayi-3 bakwiiPhilippines bekhwela ibhasi kusasa ukuthathwa kwabo bakhuphele abakhenkethi abayi-6 kunye noPhilippines abathathu kwibhasi phambi kokuba abaleke imeko nge-3 PM ngentswelo yakhe. ukubuyela kwinkonzo nazo zonke izibonelelo kunye namalungelo. Abantu abakhululwayo uninzi lwabantwana kunye nabantu abadala.

Ingxabano kusasa kwakungekho njengobundlobongela xa okwenene yokuhlangula yenziwe yiPolisa ekubeni kwakukho abantu abambalwa ababandakanyekayo ekuseni, abantu babengabantu abambalwa beendaba, i-ambulensi kunye nabameli. Ekubeni amajelo aseburhulumenteni ahlaziywa rhoqo ngolu hlobo usebenzisa ithelevishini baninzi abanomdla, abapolitiki, abeendaba kunye nabanye abachaphazelekayo kwimeko. Ngokukodwa amalungu omndeni womenzi wobubi, esinye isihlobo sazama ukusondela ibhasi kunye nesibhamu kunye naye kwaye samkelwa ngokwenene emva kokuba esondele kufuphi nebhasi. Uhamba ngeliqela lethu engazi ukuba unompu kwaye kamva wavalelwa kwisikhululo samapolisa.

Ngexesha lesobusuku sasiyazi ukuba kwakuya kuba ne-ultimatum evela kumenzi wobubi ogqitywa kamva kodwa urhulumente unesigqibo sokuthi bafuna ukuba le nto ingathathi nto. Ngeenxa ye-6 kusihlwa amalungu omndeni womenzi wobubi afika kwisikhululo samapolisa esiseduze nathi kwaye ayefuna ukuthetha noyise kodwa akavunyelwanga ukuba aye kuloo ndawo kwaye kamva wenza ukuba kuqhutywe ukunyuka kwimeko. Kwi-hostage-taking, ininzi yabasebenzi bethu babesaba iinqwelo ezidibeneyo ezinokusibetha kunye nokuba kunokwenzeka kuqhuma yebhasi esiya kuba ngumonakalo onobungozi. Umntakwabo kaMnu Mendoza ngelo xesha waxinwa ngamapolisa ngenxa yokuba wayengabambisani kunye nokuzama ukuqwalasela uMnu Mendoza ukuba alwe nento ekholelwayo kwaye enze into ekufuneka yenziwe.

 

Ukudubula

Kwimeko apho amapolisa azama ukubuyisela amalungu osapho sele sinemvelaphi yoko kwakuza kwenzeka emva koko bendicinga ngeloxesha ukuba sizakufumana isihlobo ngendawo yokumfaka kwi-ambulensi ukuze sinciphise ukungaboni ngasonye amalungu osapho kunye namapolisa kodwa oko ndaye neqela lam ndaziva ngathi singangaphakathi kwingxabano sibuyele kwiAmbulensi yethu.

UMnu Mendoza wagcina uxhulumaniso lwakhe kunye nabeendaba kwaye wabuyisela impembelelo kwimeko ngoba ebona ilungu lentsapho lihlupheke njengoko amapolisa ezama ukumbamba. Waqala ukudubula kumaxhoba ngelixa i-SWAT, ngakolunye uhlangothi, yazama ukunyundela ibhasi ukuze ithole uMnu Mendoza kodwa yabulawa kwaye i-6 yasinda kuloo meko kodwa i-9 yayifile. Imizuzu embalwa kamva kwaba ngumzuzu osenakukhunjulwa kunye owonakalisayo esiwuthatyayo ukususela ngoku ngoku siyazi ukuba amaxhoba abulawa kodwa asikwazi ukwenza nto ngaphandle kokuba amapolisa athi ukuba indawo ikhuselekile kwaye babememeza bonke befile ebhasi.

Kwintlangano yethu, sinalo iigulane esicinga ukuba sinamandla okungena ngaphakathi kwindawo ekhuselekile ukuba umsebenzi welo ambulensi kukuthatha amaxhoba kwibhasi ukuya kwindawo yethu yokuhamba ngapha nangapha kodwa ndahluke kakhulu kwinto eyenzekayo. Ndabelwe njenge Igosa logqeba lwee-ambulensi Ekuqaleni ukulungelelanisa i-ambulensi ekuhambeni kodwa kwaguqulwa ngamapolisa xa bakhululwa i-cordon ephuzi ngoku ngokuvunyelwe ukuba singene kwindawo yengozi. Xa sisondela kwibhasi inxaxheba yokuqala yayikuhlawulela onke amaxhoba kwaye wazama ukuwazisa kwizibhedlele kufuphi nale meko.

Kwaba nzima kithina kuba kwakunamvula ngelixa sifumana amaxhoba ebhasi kwaye sizama ukuwahlula alula. Ndaziva ndingekalungeli okanye ndibanjwe kukugada xa kunetha imvula njengoko singekayiboni kangako indawo kwaye lonke igazi elivela kwixhoba laliwa kunye nemvula ebusweni bam. Ndandixhalabele kakhulu ngolusu lwam ukuba akufuneki kubekhona abrasion ngexesha lomcimbi kuba andazi imbali yabantu endijongene nabo kwaye onke amaxhoba abonwa ndim. Kweso siganeko, umbutho uziva uphakamileyo ngokuziphatha kuba sele siyilungele imeko kurhulumente. Inkonzo yethu yezentlalo yade yenziwa nje nombulelo ngamaxhoba kunye nezihlobo ngaphambi kokuba bemke.

 

Ityala lomngeni wokubanjwa kwiPhilippines-Uhlalutyo

Kule meko, kuba sine-ambulensi ngakumbi kunye nemeko engxamisekileyo kwindawo ebesicwangcise ukuba senze ntoni ngayo kodwa kusekho imibutho yezopolitiko efuna ukusebenza yodwa. Uninzi lwee-ambulensi ezazikho sele zilungelelaniswe kwimeko esinayo kwaye zonke izimvo zazivele zinikezelwe kwinto yokwenza kodwa njengoko sisazi ngamanye amaxesha izicwangciso azizukusebenza ngokuxhomekeka kwimeko.

Enye yeengxaki ezifunekayo ukuba ndenze isigqibo malunga ukuzisa ngaphakathi konke ii-ambulensi endaweni yengozi kuba kwakukho igosa elithile elikhwazayo ukuba imeko sele ikhuselekile kwaye ibeka i-cordon ephuzi. Okubangela ukuba ndicinge ngelo xesha ukuba kunokwenzeka ibhokhwe ebhasi ukuba ndiza kuba noxanduva kubo bonke abavolontiya ababandakanyekayo.

Kwimeko yangempela esekelwe kumava am Inkqubo yokuSebenza ukususela ngeli xesha sisebenzisa amava ethu, kungekhona SOP. Xa ii-ambulensi ezivela kwizahluko ezahlukileyo zifikile kwaye iindaba eziphathekayo zikhuthaza imeko enkulu yam iivolontiya ifuna ukuqhutyelwa kwi-ambulensi kwaye ifuna ukufaka i-ambulance esilondolozwe esahlukweni kodwa andizange ndisebenzise i-ambulensi njengoko sisazi ukuba kukho ibhomu ebhasi. Ngoko ke ndagqiba ekubeni ndingayisebenzisi i-ambulensi ngenxa yokuba elo xesha i-ambulensi yenqununu yesizwe isetyenzisiwe kwaye ukuba oko kuya kwenzeka bekungekho i-ambulensi yokuthutha amavolontiya abandakanyekayo kwimeko.

Ukunxibelelana nama-ambulensi kunye nentlangano yayivame ukufumana ukutya okwakuthiwa kusinikwe ukunikezelwa kokutya, amanzi kunye nezinye iimfuno entsimini ngelo xesha.
Kwaye ukuhlaziywa kobuhlobo kunikezelwa kuthi kodwa kwinqanaba elincinci ukususela kwaneqhinga lesicatshulwa. Emva kokuba sizisele zonke ixhoba esibhedlele emva kweeyure ze-10 zonke iigulane zaye zakhunjulwa kwikomkhulu likazwelonke emva kokutshintsha imeko.

Sasikhululwe ngabaphathi kodwa njengeqela, kuba kwakusebusuku kakhulu kwaye i-ambulensi yethu ngequbuliso yayinengxaki ethile sibuyele kwisahluko sethu ukuba inkxaso yethu yengqondo yontanga kwiqela elincinci. Ndicela omnye wam ukuba abe luqeqesho lwam Inkxaso ngokwengqondo ukusuka kwinkonzo yethu yentlalo-ntle ukuququzelela ingxoxo yethu yoontanga. Emva koko, saba nesidlo sangokuhlwa esincinane ngaphambi kokuba sibuyele ezindlwini yaye uninzi lwethu lwathathwa zizalamane. Uqeqesho endilufumeneyo ngelo xesha ne Uncedo yokuqala kungquzulwano lwezixhobo nokuchanabeka kwimeko eyahlukileyo kwandenza ndaqhelana nale meko.”
