CAMP GEN EMILIO AGUINALDO, Quezon City – The leadership of the Armed Forces of the Philippines has asked the help of the citizenry not to help in the propagation of video materials from the bandit group Abu Sayyaf.
According to BGen Restituto Padilla, AFP spokesperson, “We respect the dignity of life, we respect the privacy of families,” and the spreading of this video materials will only dignify the cause of the bandit group and their kidnapping and terror activities.
Padilla stressed that the AFP continues operate to secure the safety of the hostages who still remains in the hands of these bandits in the southern part of the Philippines.
Last April 25, the ASG continued with its threat of killing Canadian John Ridsdel after their ransom deadline lapsed.
Just last May 3, the bandit group released a new video containing renewed threats of beheading on their remaining three hostages taken last year from the Island Garden City of Samal in Davao Del Norte.
In the video, the remaining Samal hostages, Norwegian Kjartan Sekkingstad, Canadian Robert Hall and Marites Flor, Hall’s Filipina girlfriend, are shown sitting on the ground on what seems to be a coconut plantation, with six gunmen standing behind them.
“We have not stopped, we have not let up with their on-going operations, and we will not cease doing this until we have been able to make these personalities, bandits, criminals accountable for their actions” Padilla added.
