Wow!Grabe!Sobrang luxurious siguro dun sa base ng Abu Sayyaf.Ano kaya amenities mayroon dun?

Seriously, wtf, who do they think are they fooling?Magsasabi sila na "No Ransom Policy" tapos magbibigay din pala.If that's the policy then they shuld stick to it.Kaya hindi tumutigil mga kidnap for ransom na ganyan kasi alam nilang magbibigay at magbibigay din.

Well it was that station that tried to muffle the news themselves thinking probably that they can keep it that way. Then there's the "no ransom" policy they flaunt after the news leaked. Well when it comes to reporting anything (except this case), they always invoke the right to information, press freedom, etc. That's double standard to me.

With the ASG's notorious track record, they would have thought first about their security than getting a scoop. They never learn do they?

Well they got more than they bargained for. Two Million for board & lodging.. what would the price be for the rest? Tsk...tsk...

All we can hope for now is their safe passage home.

For wanting to make a scoop, they sent a news team to beat other journalist to the hilt...

and this what they got....

Na discourage tuloy akong mag check-in sa hotel ng mga Abu Sayyaf na yan, sobra pala mahal. :snob:

I doubt if this group that kidnapped Ces Drilon's party is really the ASG. Most likely these are plain bandits operating in the area. Alam naman ninyo, kidnap for ransom is big, big business in this part of the Philippines.

Abu Sayyaf exclusive resots, hmmmm! baka katulad nito yong resorts sa Necker Island (British Virgin Island) na $30,000 dollars per night.

They wanted big news. They created bigger news and very expensive news.

Sa kidnap-for-ransom in Mindanao, a negotiated ransom payment is called Board and Lodging Charge. This term is coined to make it appear that ransom was not paid. And to make it not obvious that the "No Ransom Policy" is not breached. Haaay naku, style bulok!

And the worse part is, the negotiators get a commission out of payments made. Big business talaga!

Expect a larger board and lodging charge for Ces Drilon.

the people captured are (IMO) known as Prisoners-of-Media (POM) attention... in other words, POM-POM sa cheering squad!

P2M? Yakang-yaka yan. Peanuts yan sa Meralco......charge to Systems Loss.
