MANILA -- The Philippine National Police (PNP) said it is
constantly monitoring developments on the abduction of two female police
officers in Patikul, Sulu.
During Monday's press briefing, Philippine National Police (PNP) chief
Oscar Albayalde said they have yet to receive a comprehensive report on the
incident.
Police Officer 2 Benierose Alvarez, Police Officer 1 Dinah Gumahad,
along with two civilians, Jakosalem Ahamad Blas and Faizal Ahidji, were on
board a tricycle outside Camp Bautista near the Jolo Airport on Sunday when
they were intercepted by armed men.
Alvarez is detailed with the PNP-Crime Laboratory.
"Ang alam natin is yung isa taga (PNP) Crime Lab, tapos
yung isa, kaibigan niya (What we know is one of the victims is from the
PNP Crime Lab and the other one is her friend). Galing sila sa kampo ng AFP
(Armed Forces of the Philippines) at nung pauwi at around 11 a.m
yesterday (Sunday), doon sila in-abduct (They came from the AFP camp and
they were abducted when around 11 a.m. yesterday when they were on the way
home). As of now, wala pang (there is no) communication whatsoever, hindi
pa sila ma-contact at wala pang kumokontak doon sa ating tropa sa lugar (they
cannot be contacted and no contacts have been made with our troops in the
area)," Albayalde said of the incident.
"As of this (morning), wala pa (no updates yet). The operations
are still being conducted by our AFP (Armed Forces of the Philippines) doon sa
area together with our regional mobile group," Albayalde said.
In recent months, local armed groups have started going after soft
targets instead of high profile individuals. These soft targets are mostly
skilled workers whose families are willing to pay ransom for their safe
release. (PNA/By Benjamin Pulta/Re-posted by: Becky D. de Asis- The Redline News)
