In the name of religion, they will kill innocents without remorse? they should be ashamed of themselves... Are they really sure they are killing these journalists for the Sake of Allah? Or for the sake of money ?

We cannot trust the negotiator especially kay muslim pud ni.There's a saying "you cannot trust even a dead muslim".Sila-sila lang man ni from MNLF to MILF to Abu Sayaf to vendors of illegal CDs and drugs.Sagaran ani nila mga relatives lang man gyapon.Only that this govt has been soft in dealing this terrorists.If this govt an this muslim communities are serious in their cause maybe dugay na ni nawagtang ang Abu baboy.

Kidnappers of ABS-CBN crew give extension


The kidnappers of ABS-CBN reporter Ces Drilon and her cameraman Jimmy Encarnacion have given an indefinite extension on talks for their captives' release, the son of the crisis negotiator said.

Jun Isnaji, son of Indanan town Mayor Alvarez Isnaji, told reporters at a press conference in Sulu that the kidnappers have agreed to continue the negotiations for the release of the Drilon and her cameraman. He said the abductors have also promised not to harm their captives.

The kidnappers had earlier said that they are giving the families of the victim until Tuesday noon to deliver a P15-million ransom.

The young Isnaji said the kidnappers had threatened to behead the victims. He, however, said the kidnappers had changed their minds and promised not to hurt Drilon, Encarnacion and Mindanao peace advocate Professor Octavio Dinampo, who served as guide to Drilon's news crew in Sulu.

He said negotiators are also discussing alternatives to ransom in the form of livelihood project.

The families of Drilon and Encarnacion earlier pleaded with members of the Abu Sayyaf to free their captives.

"We're doing everything to get them free, but you must understand that we do have some limitations," Grech Oreña said over local radio on the southern island of Jolo, where her 46-year-old sister has been held captive for over a week.

The 15-year old daughter of Encarnacion also appealed for compassion.

"We need our father," Joy Encarnacion said. "We don't know where to get money for our school."

The three-person TV crew of Drilon, Encarnacion and Angelo Valderama and their guide, university professor Octavio Dinampo, were kidnapped over a week ago. Valderama was released last week.

Drilon's employer, ABS-CBN, has repeatedly said it would not pay a ransom and disputed comments from Alvarez, who said the station was not giving the families any support.

"We are saddened and troubled by accusations that ABS-CBN has abandoned Ces and Jimmy," the network said in a statement. "ABS-CBN is doing everything it can to help them and their families through this harrowing ordeal."

On Monday, the government P500,000 bounty for two Abu Sayyaf leaders held responsible for the kidnapping.

mao btaw gitawag na ug "negotiator". that has to be somebody who has the power of persuasion...mas maayo nlng gani na-convince ang ASG to extend the ultimatum and talk about an alternative to ransom.

kung ikaw kno beh, unsay may buhaton nimo para mo-negotiate w/ ASG? (that is also assuming no-ransom policy)

anybody here who could provide suggestions on how to negotiate w/ terrorists? tanawon nato inyong pgka maayong laki kno beh...hehe
