Didn't this same thing happened during Erap's time when Gracia Burnham and many other foreigners were kidnapped by Abu Sayyaf? Erap said there was no ransom paid. But it turned out that even the government negotiator (what's his name again?) pocketed a percentage of the ransom money.

So you see, whoever sits as President will screw you one way or another. Too bad for GMA, she was caught. But there is no guarantee the next President will not screw you the same way.
