Basilan activates CMC to work for safe recovery of DSWD social worker

From the Philippine News Agency (May 23): Basilan activates CMC to work for safe recovery of DSWD social worker

The Basilan provincial government has activated a Crisis Management Committee (CMC) to work for the safe recovery of a social worker abducted Wednesday by suspected Abu Sayyaf bandits in the province, an official said Thursday.

Basilan police director Sr. Supt. Mario Dapilloza said the CMC was activated during the Provincial Peace and Order Council (PPOC) meeting Thursday. The meeting was convened by Gov. Jum Akbar.

The PPOC meeting was attended by top police and military officials as well as representatives of the cross section of the society and other government officials.

Dapilloza said the PPOC has also mobilized groups to establish contacts with the abductors of Jenelyn Entera, a social worker of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD).

Entera was inspecting beneficiaries of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) when she was seized by four suspected Abu Sayyaf bandits around 9 a.m. Wednesday in Barangay Ulitan, Ungkaya Pukan municipality in Basilan province.

The suspects, two of them identified only as a certain Idol and a certain Ulay, forced Entera to board one of the two motorcycles without registered plate numbers and sped towards the municipality of Sumisip.

Dapilloza said there is no contact yet since the abductors have not made known of their demands.

As this developed, policemen in coordination with the military continue to scour all places where the victims could had been taken by the suspects, Dapilloza said.
