A sudden twist in a Manila shooting case transpired as investigations revealed one of the suspects to be a tour guide. The surprising revelation has sent shock waves across Japan as authorities continue to unravel the details of the incident. The manhunt is still ongoing while the Japanese community in Manila has been alerted about the situation. The incident has raised questions regarding safety, particularly in the tourism industry.

Safety and public order are highly valued in Japanese society. Victims of crime, especially when the crime occurs overseas, draw immense public empathy. This incident is particularly shocking as a tour guide, an individual expected to protect and guide tourists, is involved. This on-going case continues to be closely watched by the public eye.

In the US or EU, such an incident would also catch major pubic and media attention. However, the illegal possession and use of firearms are more prevalent in these regions compared to Japan. Therefore, the surprise element may be less palpable compared to Japan, but the involvement of a tour guide would still raise similar concerns about safety and trust in the tourism industry.
