Family of Cebuano seaman kidnapped by Abu Sayyaf seek Duterte's help

From InterAksyon (Oct 25): Family of Cebuano seaman kidnapped by Abu Sayyaf seek Duterte's help

The family of a Cebuano seaman kidnapped by the Abu Sayyaf from a South Korean vessel in Tawi-Tawi has asked President Rodrigo Duterte to ensure his safe release.

Glenn Alindajao, 30, a master mariner, and the Korean captain of the Dongbang Giant 2 were reported seized by 10 gunmen last Thursday.

“Mr. President, I appeal for your help because we can’t do this on our own. This is too much for us,” Alindajao’s mother Pablita said.

Pablita said an hour before the kidnapping, her son texted her to ask if she was okay.

“Glen is a good son. He texted me ‘Mama lablab (I love you) Mama.’ As his mother, this pains me so much,” she said.

The Alindajao family is from Barangay Lahug, Cebu City.

The ship on which Glenn Alindajao worked was on its way to South Korea from Australia when it was boarded by gunmen.

The Alindajao family said the latest information from Glenn’s agency was that the ship had reached Manila.
