Presidential peace adviser Jesus Dureza on Tuesday announced
that the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) kidnapped five more Malaysians on Monday
afternoon in Lahad Datu, Sabah .
”I heard today that they took five more Malaysians in Lahad
Datu and the Indonesians are still there,” Dureza said in a press conference in
Malacanang.
Dureza said a Norweigan national was still in the hands of
the ASG bandits.
Dureza said the five Malaysians were kidnapped at 7:16 p.m.
Monday while they were on board a Tawau, Sabah-base tugboat T/B Serudong that
was traveling from Sandakan
Those kidnapped Malaysians were identified as Abdurahim Bin
Summas, Tayudin Anjut, Mohammad Redzuah Bin Ismael, Mohammad Jumadil Bin Rahim
and Fandy Bin Bakran.
”When Malaysian authorities recovered on said date the said
boat running unmanned at vicinity seawater of Lahad Datu, Sabah bordering
Tawi-Tawi, it was found out that following named crews are already missing and
believed to be abducted,” Dureza informed the media.
During the press conference, Dureza said “there are efforts”
from Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) founding chairman Nur Misuari to
help in the release of the Norwegian hostage.
”There were efforts from Misuari and he’d like to do
coordination,” Dureza said.
Misuari is facing arrest for the rebellion charges in
connection with the 2013 Zamboanga
City
Dureza said the administration of President Rodrigo Duterte
was talking with Misuari and his Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) as part
of the inclusive “Roadmap to Peace” that President Duterte approved last
Monday.
The Roadmap to Peace cover all groups fighting the
government, including the Communist Party of the Philippines
