Thanks to the relentless law enforcement operations being
conducted by the military and its police counterparts, Armed Forces of the
Philippines (AFP) chief-of-staff Gen. Gregorio Pio Catapang said the Abu Sayyaf
Group (ASG) is losing their cohesion and now being checked in their Basilan and
Sulu enclaves.
Catapang's statement was also confirmed by a Thursday
reports which revealed that ASG bandits were forced to release their teacher
captive due to ongoing law enforcement operations.
She was released by the ASG around 7: 30 a.m. Thursday and
was immediately brought to the Joint Task Group Sulu headquarters for
debriefing and medical check-up.
However, her 22-year-old brother Russel, was left behind the
bandits.
The victims were snatched by suspected ASG men on March 15
in Brgy. Moalboal, Talusan town, Zamboanga Sibugay while enroute to Tuburan
Elem School which was an hour's travel from their residence.
Pursuit operations are still ongoing as this posting.
"And come election day, we will run after the PAGS, the
private armed groups in coordination with the PNP, we will not hesitate, if we
know where the firearms are kept, we will inform the PNP and we will ask them
to issue through the judges a search warrant and we will run after them, that's
the only way to maintain the peace in our country, nobody have the monopoly of
use of violence, it will only be the armed services, the duly constituted armed
services of our country should bear arms," he concluded.
