From the Zamboanga Today (Jul 12): Kidnappers threaten to sell Lingayan to Abu Sayyaf
Kidnappers who are still holding captive Zamboangueño plumber Remigio Lingayan have given the family until 3 p.m. yesterday afternoon to produce the P1 million ransom or they will sell the victim to another group.
Analiza Lingayan, wife of Remigio, disclosed that the kidnapers called Thursday last night asking her to produce the money or they will sell her husband to the “laki laki” or “Laki 9” Abu Sayaff group who are more notorious.
She said her husband told her not to worry if she cannot produce the ransom demand as he has accepted his fate.
According to Analiza, for five days she has been trying to reach Mayor Isabelle Climaco Salazar to beg for help but her secretary told her the mayor was always busy.
She also disclosed that at first, her brother in law Joselito Gonzales y Perez was said to have been killed during an encounter but after five days, the suspects told her Joselito was not killed in the encounter instead they beheaded him.
Analiza is again crying for help, calling president Aquino and Vice President Jejomar Binay to help them, adding that the government is only interested to help wealthy individuals who are kidnapped, and put aside if the victims are poor.
Remigio and Gonzales were kidnapped last June 4, 2014 in Maimbung, Sulu while doing pipe-laying work in the area.
The kidnappers at first asked for P20 million ransom but reduced it to P7 million, then P3 million and further went down to P1 million.
They also gave the family an ultimatum that expired last June 29 but due to the Ramadan period, they postponed the beheading of the victim.
