Armed men takes mine employees at Tawi-tawi sea

From the Manila Bulletin (May 28): Armed men takes mine employees at Tawi-tawi sea

BONGAO, Tawi-Tawi – Unidentified armed men snatched at mid sea three mining firm employees recently while the trio were en-route from Languyan town proper to Tumbagaan island, where the mining firm is located.

But Governor Sadikul Sahali was quick to dismiss it as kidnapping, saying it is more like "harassment" done by the business rival of the mining firm.

He said the Provincial Police Office (PPO) has reported to him that  three employees of SR Mining Company  based in Tumbagaan were forcibly taken by armed men at mid sea between Languyan and Tumbagaan island. Based on the  police report, the victims are boat operator Mar Hadjula, cook Marcial España, and Eddie Reubal.

The police also reported to Sahali that Hadjula was rescued by fishermen last Saturday, near Sulare island and had him brought to Siasi Municipal Police Station that later turned him over to Languyan police.

The governor here said España and Reubal remain missing.
