They must pay ransom for the security purpose of Ms.Drilon and company…If not it is very hard to convince those abductors to release them.

My beloved people of the Republic of the Philippines sometimes, please don’t act being naive about this Abbu Sayyaf Group Kidnapping for Ransom worth Php 10+ MILLION demand turn empty handed this out law just like you insult their belief and principle of capable with. Poor thing the team of Ces Drilon always a victim or pa-in ng mga Disfunctional Politician, if you recall the Makati Siege…what’s next this coming Election of 2010 especially what Senator Legarda said your unconditional release from the ASG captors…sounds like another Dangerous Game again for you. Ces, I know you love your job from the bottom of your heart for the sake of filipino (Christian or Muslim) people… I always pray your safety and unharm all about this crazy world lalo na yong mga kagat ng lamok sa gubat ng Mindanao.

The World don’t buy it…it’s a TOTAL HOAX and it’s obviously behind this is political rival of the Administration. Just like a T.V. series of the Survivors, Fear Factor or No Guts No Glory, etc. I believe this drama series of kidnapper are well scripted being hired and paid already by some disfunctional politician preparing for presidential election this coming 2010. My most admired journalist Ces Drilon are innocent and have no idea about this so-called Dangerous Game just what she said that someone betrayed them.

i personally believed that there was ransom given to the abductors for the release of ces and her crew. loren stepped in the scene claiming the role of helping in the negotiation and says that there was no ransom. It’s obvious that she was just politicizing.

[...] I want to shed a light on the bigger picture in this incident, which has, for many years, haunted us, stared us in the face yet we chose to dismiss it, telling media people like Ms. Drilon that they deserve what happened to them. The Warrior Lawyer best puts it when he says: [...]

she’s looking for trouble and “scoop”.. right? well.. she definitely found what she’s looking for. problem is, this group is not like the military who has the moral values not to “really hurt” them. masyadong matapang eh..tignan na lang natin ngayon.

@scrutinuzmind, interesting angle. In fact the driver of the vehicle which the ABS-CBN crew was riding when they were seized claims that government agents – not Abus – grabbed Drilon et. al. The plot thickens. The Inquirer link: http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/breakingnews/nation/view/20080612-142325/Driver-claims-military-agent-not-Abus-seized-Drilon-team

For my opinion, i do have a feeling that the government is the government itself is the mastermind behind the abduction of Ces Drilon….if the government will be able to “redeem” Ces and her team from the “abductors”, ABS-CBN will have a debt of grattitude to the administration. Remember that the Lopezes and the Arroyo Administration has many conflicts like that of MERALCO. Just speculating.hahaha
