The news team is under the JI custody, as per the news. Now that it's confirmed that Ces Drilon is in the hands of the terrorists, I hope she could muster all the courage she needs. After all, she manifested such when she was covering some attempted coup here in Manila.
I really hope all of them could be freed since negotiations are already taken. I just hope other journalists will be more cautious if and when they want to get exclusive interviews. The Abu Sayyaf Group is linked with the terrorists. How can one simply turn down the security being offered by the military? Maybe the news team trusted them too much.
