The three are now in the custody of the Philippine Marines, Bacuño added.

Last week, a clash between the military and the Abu Sayyaf in Talipao, Sulu left five soldiers dead and 26 others injured.

AFP public information head Lt. Col. Harold Cabunoc said the soldiers who clashed with Abu Sayyaf bandits in Talipao were to observe the area and gather information regarding the bandits' whereabouts and the location of their hostages.
 
Authorities later said nine bandits were killed in the clash, including sub-commander Hairullah Asbang.
 
In October, the Abu Sayyaf released two German hostages in Patikul town.
 
The group claimed ransom had been paid for the release of the hostages, one of whom they threatened to behead. The government has denied that ransom was paid.
