Abu sayaff!!

I guess its more complicated as this bandit group posing as terrorist group fighting for a cause is deeply rooted with religion, and culture. I think military is having a hard time pursuing this as the community itself is partly to blame. Since most their members are either a family member or relative it is but natural tendency that they protefct their own. Religious fanaticism is also very prevalent in the area that is why cooperation even with the most moderate of them tends to side with them at some point. Next is the Military side of things, which also is corrupt at that point. Instead of really pursuing them they just play along and earn something along the way by selling their arms to the bandit group which they know has money from ransoms they got from their kidnappings. It a vicious cycle to see that we all are aware.

if there's mo more abu sayaff, our military will have no reason to ask for budget for their arms, you know...no budget...no money for them generals...no money = no honey...ayt??

i am certain that the ransom has been paid and i don't understand why they keep on denying it. abu sayaff will not stop tormenting the government unless they all die. and since its not the case because of many rebel joining their forces i don't think they will ever stop. sometimes i want to blame the government but i know it will be useless since they will not hear it.

it is easy to say there is no ransom policy but by applying what they say is very difficult because this bandits are form because of money. the government deny it because to save the reputation of the politicians and add "pogi" points. ASG still alive and continues doing kidnapping in the of western mindanao.

the reason why they can stop the activities of this revels because some of our politicians support them. they didn't admit that in media but in their underground activities they did. i don't believe that there is now ransom being paid before ces was free from them.

I think the ransom was paid even though they deny it. There's no reason for the abu sayaff to kidnap a high profile reporter then let her go for free. With regards to the military, they have a hard time dealing with the rebels because the abu sayaff call for a cease fire every time they're down, only to betray the trust of the government once they're armed again.

Why these incidents never stops?Has it ever crossed your mind...a connivance between this two groups (military and rebels).I have nothing against this groups but we have to be open to such possibilities.What about the mediator?Don't you think they have something to do with it as well?Regarding the ransom...I don't think they will let these people go without it.The thing is why they love to kidnap reporters/staffs from this channel-if I'm not mistaken this is the second.Why not kidnap someone from the other channel.lol.joking!!!!
