2010年8月發生馬尼拉人質事件後，容樂其喺一個批評菲律賓警方救人不力嘅Facebook羣組留言，話香港人將菲律賓傭工當奴隸，淨係俾好少人工，所以無權要求菲律賓特種部隊營救香港人質，引起唔少網民批評佢「冷血」、「幸災樂禍」。 《文匯報》亦有文章批評佢邏輯混亂同冷血。
After the Manila hostage incident in August 2010, Yung Leqi left a message on a Facebook group criticizing the Philippine police's failure to save people, saying that Hong Kong people treated Filipino domestic workers as slaves and were only paid very little wages, so they had no right to ask the Philippine special forces to rescue the Hong Kong hostages, causing many netizens to criticize him for being "cold-blooded" and "gloating". Wen Wei Po also criticized him for his logical confusion and cold-bloodedness.
