From InterAksyon (Dec 20): PH Marines recover Taiwanese woman in Sulu after her abduction in Sabah

A Taiwanese woman, who was abducted on November 15 by armed men in Sabah, Malaysia, was recovered by elements of the Philippine Marines and Philippine National Police in Talipao, Sulu on Friday, said Captain Ryan Lacuesta, Civil Military Operations Officer of the 2nd Marine Brigade.

Evelyn Chang was recovered by responding soldiers and policemen at around 3:55 p.m. in the vicinity of Sitio Karija Anil, Barangay Liban, Lacuesta said.

“Reacting to an information [we received from residents in the place], our unit together with the policemen responded to verify said information that led to the recovery of the victim,” Lacuesta said.

He said Chang was “abandoned by her unidentified captors” and was immediately brought to Camp Theodulfo Bautista Station Hospital for medical checkup.

Chang was reported abducted at Pulao in Pulong-Pulong, Sampurna by a group of armed men who then escaped toward Sulu.

Lacuesta said he has no information yet behind the abduction and whether ransom money was involved in her release.
