Meanwhile, Chief Superintendent Joel Goltiao, police regional director for the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, said that:”Pinapakain naman sila [They are being fed well], they are well and alive, hindi sila nakatali [they are not tied] and nakakalabas sila [they are able to move around] but they are being escorted.”

    Sana nga buhay pa si Ms. Ces Drilon. Ewan ko lang sa mga Abusayaff sa atin sinisira ang pangalan ng bansa natin samantalang kapwa Pinoy din sila. Sa barko nung nagwork ako, pag ang mga Jamaican nakakita ng Pinoy ang tawag sa amin Abusayaff. Masakit kasi ang tingin ng ibang lahi sa atin katawa tawa. Sariling bayan mga terrorista. Sana magbagong buhay na sila. Hindi lang pakikipagbaka ang bubuhay sa prinsipyo nating mga Pinoy. Utak at sipag lang ang katapat nyan.

    Hindi kaya may undercover interview lang siya with someone in the ASG? Bakit wala pang ransom demand? Bakit nagpabalot ba ng food good for 20 persons before she left? Naisip ko lang.

    Baka naman may pupuntahan lang na surprise birthday party at di tayo invited? LOL

      she’s looking for trouble and “scoop”.. right? well.. she definitely found what she’s looking for. problem is, this group is not like the military who has the moral values not to “really hurt” them. masyadong matapang eh..tignan na lang natin ngayon. too bad everybody who’s not thinking enough is still blaming the government. but for me..no body else is to blame but ces, her crew, and their vanity for their work. they forgot that there’s no such thing as “journalist’s immunities” with criminals and terrorists.

  15. monaco says:

    Inamin na rin ng ABS that the rumors are true. News blackout kasi at first. I first read about this last nigh in the forums.

  16. Jen says:

    Grabe naman ito kapatid. Kaloka! Pero from the few times that I have turned the tv on for news, haven’t heard a word about it. News black out ba ito? Nway, will be coming back here for updates ha. God bless po! :-)
