members of the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG), who seized a retired soldier off
Pangutaran, Sulu, a military official disclosed Wednesday.
Capt. Maria Rowena Muyuela, Western Mindanao Command
(Westmincom) information officer, identified the victim as Marine MSgt. Renato

Muyuela said Fernandez was seized around 9:15 p.m. Monday in
the municipal waters of Pangutaran, an island town in the province of Sulu
Muyuela said Fernandez was aboard a motorboat named ML RJ
Express when forcibly taken by four gunmen, who pretended to be among the
motorboat’s passengers.
The gunmen transferred Fernandez to one of two motorized
bancas and sped to unknown direction.
Troops from the Joint Task Group Sulu in coordination with
the police forces have yet to locate the victim.
