From ABS-CBN (Jan 8): Suspected NPA members release 6 abducted civilians
COMPOSTELA VALLEY - Six civilians who were abducted by suspected members of the New People's Army (NPA) were set free Thursday night.
The family of the victims asked the help of the military to free the victims, who were abducted by armed men from their homes in Barangay Malamodao in Maco, Compostela Valley Tuesday night.
They added that the victims were blindfolded, tied, and forced to ride a motorcycle to an unknown destination.
The victims were released two days later.
Among those abducted were a minor and a pregnant woman.
The minor said the armed men did not hurt them. The woman, on the other hand, said they were only "reprimanded".
The 71st Infantry Battalion said members of the subregional guerilla unit of the NPA, under a certain Ka Marus, were responsible for the abduction.
The six victims will undergo a stress debriefing from the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD).
