| 2017-01-20 |
| [Mindanao Examiner] Abu Sayyaf militants on Thursday freed two Philippine fishermen in the southern province of Sulu. The pair – Esteban Janamjam and Dolcesimo Almires – were recovered in the village of Tagbak, a known Abu Sayyaf stronghold in Indanan town. It is not known whether their families had paid ransoms or not. Both men were seized by rebels in October last year off Pangutaran town, also in Sulu. The military said the men were rescued by soldiers after intercepting them from two Abu Sayyaf guards who managed to escape but there was no immediate confirmation from the police. |
