MINDANAO – Opposition senator and reported 2010 presidentiable Francis “Chiz” Escudero and I share the same sentiments.
Chiz Escudero, in his recent press statement, has asked the public that while it’s true that we all should be happy for International Red Cross volunteer Eugenio Vagni’s safe release from captivity in Basilan, we should still not forget the three teachers who remain hostages of the Abu Sayyaf.
If you remember, these are my very thoughts last May 2009.
The three teachers namely Jocelyn Enriquez, Jocelyn Inion and Noemi Mandi were abducted by last March 13 off the island barangay of Bangkaw-Bangkaw, Naga town, Zamboanga Sibugay while they were on the way home.
“The end of Mr. Vagni’s ordeal should convince those working behind the scenes to exert more effort in securing the release of other Abu Sayyaf hostages,” he said.
The three teachers all taught at Bangkaw-Bangkaw Elementary School. Shortly after they were nabbed, they were then reportedly turned over to the group of Furuji Indama, an Abu Sayyaf Group commander based in a coastal village in Tipo-Tipo, Basilan.
“We must take all steps possible so that these teachers can be reunited with their loved ones as soon as possible,” Escudero said.
There have been reports that Mandi died in captivity, although this has yet to be confirmed. I hope this isn’t true.
I also hope that the government is doing everything so that they can retrieve the teachers soon. I’m not sure if declaring an all-out war against the bandit group Abu Sayyaf is the answer, though. Peace can still be attained through proper and transparent negotiations.
What are your thoughts?

MINDANAO – Thankfully, the Mindanao food aid from the United Nations World Food Program will continue! We Mindanaoans should really be thankful for this because the UN WFP food assistance can really help so many people especially those displaced by the recent conflicts here in Mindanao.
UN Resident Coordinator ad interim Dr. Soe Nyunt-U has reportedly announced that the delivery of food aid for Mindanao will resume once the travel restrictions imposed on their personnel are lifted. I’m hoping that the travel restrictions will be lifted very soon! So many families will really benefit from the UN WFP food assistance.
Accordingly, the travel restriction to Mindanao for UN World Food Program personnel was only for the week of July 6 and was a precautionary measure following the spate of bombings in Mindanao.

Karam Jakilan, mayor of Albarkah, Basilan, along with three others, was slain in an ambush just this afternoon. They were attacked in Tipo-Tipo, according to police reports.
Basilan is located just off the southern coast of Zamboanga Peninsula, Mindanao, Philippines. Basilan, which is within the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM), is the biggest and northernmost among the major islands of the Sulu Archipelago.
Basilan Police Superintendent Salik Macapantar reportedly said that the mayor, his driver and two unnamed persons – a man and a woman – were killed at around 4 pm today. Meanwhile, three people included in the convoy were hurt.
Police believe that the motive of the killing was “rido,” which pertains to blood feuds that often go unresolved over several generations.
Our deep condolences to the bereaved families.
