Gov't closely monitoring developments on reported abduction in Samal Island

From the Philippine News Agency (Sep 22): Gov't closely monitoring developments on reported abduction in Samal Island

Malacanang on Tuesday said authorities continue to check all information that would help them determine the whereabouts of a Filipino and two foreigners who were reportedly abducted in Davao del Norte just before midnight Monday.

In a briefing, Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) Secretary Herminio Coloma Jr. said members of the Philippine National Police (PNP) anti-kidnapping group is now in touch with the Eastern Mindanao Command of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and other agencies to run after the suspects.

He said the Police Regional Office in Region 11 has not given any update except that they continue to do their best to save the victims, who were seized in a resort in Samal Island.

"Yung PNP, AFP at iba pang government agencies concerned are taking the initiative to do what is needed at mino-monitor ng Pangulo (Benigno Aquino III) ito dahil talaga namang sinusubaybayan niya ang mga mahahalagang kaganapan sa bansa (The PNP, AFP and other concerned government agencies are taking the initiative to do what is needed. The President is also monitoring this because he is really checking on important events in the country)," he added.
