[GMA News] Two Philippine soldiers and a policeman were abducted by Maoist New People's Army militants in separate incidents in Agusan del Sur and Misamis Oriental on Sunday.

Major Ezra Balagtey said the two soldiers — both off-duty — were seized when their motorcycle passed through an insurgent "checkpoint" in Buenavista, Agusan del Sur. He said, "They were not in uniform because they were still off duty when they were abducted. They have no firearms at that time."

Balagtey said the pair were on their way to report to their headquarters when abducted.
