Mayor Gemma Adana of Naga, Zamboanga Sibugay recounts her abduction in the hands of Abu Sayyaf bandits. TV5 SCREENSHOT
A day after she was released by the Abu Sayyaf in Sulu province, Mayor Gemma Adana of Naga, Zamboanga Sibugay recounted to News5 how she was kidnapped from her home almost six months ago and how the bandits treated her while in captivity.
The ordeal that Adana suffered in the hands of her captors was not apparent as she was happily reunited with her family and supporters on Wednesday.
News5 sources said an P8.5-million ransom was paid by her camp for her release, but she doubted whether her family could raise such amount.
The Philippine National Police also denied that they received information that someone had paid ransom for her release, adding that the government adhered to the “no-ransom” policy.
Though Adana’s release coincided with the filing of the certificate of candidacy for the May 2016 elections, she said her family will have to seriously take into account her harrowing experience if she decides to return to politics.
Here’s a News5 video report by Dindo Flora:
