Are you from HK ?
That case is a bit complicated and many facts were not made known to outsiders.
The Armed Forces of Philippines Special Operations Team were the unit tasked with the rescue but the PNP Commander refused to use them and insisted that Manila's SWAT team be the assault unit. Strange decision you may say but to insiders it was payback time. Mendoza was a Senior Inspector before he was dismissed and many of the Manila SWAT team members used to be his men who did not have the heart to kill their former leader and colleague. That was how the situation turned into a comedy.
