ABS-CBN journalists Ces Drilon and two more abducted in Sulu.

ABS-CBN confirms that three of their journalists namely Ces Drilon, Jimmy Encarnacion, and Angelo Valderama were kidnapped for ransom. In spite of the danger, ABS-CBN will continue to strictly implement their "no ransom policy" as this will only drive the kidnappers to abduct more media men or ordinary citizens. ABS-CBN is appealing to the public to pray for safety of the three journalists and to condone such kidnapping which is clearly an attack to press freedom.
