Abus set June 29 deadline for 2 captives' ransom

From the Philippine Star posted to ABS-CBN (Jun 20): Abus set June 29 deadline for 2 captives' ransom

The Abu Sayyaf has given a June 29 deadline for the payment of P3-million ransom for a foreman and his brother-in-law, threatening to behead them if the amount is not paid.

Analiza Lingayan, wife of captive foreman Remegio Lingayan, 50, wept as she revealed the ransom deadline to Brigada News FM yesterday.

Mrs. Lingayan appealed to Sulu authorities to help her family secure the freedom of her husband and Joselito Gonzales, who were seized last June 4 by seven armed men in Indanan, Sulu while working on a project of Sulu Vice Gov. Sakur Tan.

The kidnappers initially demanded P20 million but lowered it to P7 million and later to P3 million.
