Manila’s version of the SWAT elite police unit prompted some users of
social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter to come up with
new meanings for the acronym: "Sana Wag Akong Tamaan” (I don't want to
get hit), "Sorry Wala Akong Training" (Sorry, I am not trained),
"Sugod-Wait-Atras-Tago,” (Charge-Wait-Retreat-Hide), and "Sledgehammer
Whacking Assault Team.”
Other alternative meanings include “Sir Wait And Take a break,”
“Super Walang Alam Tactics” (Super clueless on tactics), and “Sh** Wait
Atras Tayo” (Sh** wait. Let's retreat).
During practice runs held just before the real thing Monday night,
three different SWAT teams needed less than two minutes to gain control
of a “hijacked” bus and neutralize a “hostage-taker.”
However, a different scenario unfolded hours later – with the entire
world watching.
