Government forces safely rescued on Monday the retired
education official and her grandson barely 24 hours after they were abducted in
the province of Zamboanga Sibugay
Rescued were Isabela Muyargas, 68, and her grandson,
Mohammad Kyle Hamad, 5, of Barangay Bangkerohan, Ipil, Zamboanga Sibugay.
Chief Supt. Ramon Ochotorena, deputy regional director for
administration (DRDA), said the victims were rescued around 3:30 p.m. Monday in
Kabugan Island
He said the victims were safely rescued after the residents
reported that the abductors abandoned the victims in the island.
Senior Supt. Celso Bael, Zamboanga Sibugay police director,
said the gunmen were forced to abandon the victims due to the pressure from
pursuing government troops.
He said policemen, in coordination with the military forces,
pursued the gunmen after they seized the victims from the retired educator’s
residence in Purok Neptune, , Barangay Bangkerohan, Ipil, Zamboanga Sibugay
around 11:40 a.m. Sunday.
As of press time, Bael and a relative of Muyargas are on the
way to meet the victims, who were being transported by policemen from Kabugan Island
