I just had dinner with my Aunt Milet Mendoza and had a small chat about her interview in Radio Veritas, a local Christian radio in the Philippines. I’ve got this file uploaded on a third party website and I hope Christians and Muslims learn a lot from her experience while in captivity of her kidnappers the ABU SAYYAF.

The zip file contains 5 mp3 audio files of the show.

There’s a lot of humanitarian work done in Mindanao but regardless of the culture differences in the regions of the Philippines, the kidnapping should stop. Government should do their share in helping the less fortunate regions in the Philippines. If you take into mind what she has experienced, you’ll surely learn a lot from it like I did. She would like to sincerely thank everyone who prayed for her safety, to people who visited my blog in the past few months. She’s free now and back with her family. Thank God!

This post is just to thank all the people who continued prayed and sent their regards to my Aunt Milet Mendoza who was held captive 2 months by armed Abu Sayyaf.

Just yesterday early morning, we have learned that she has been released and safe now. She is resting and enjoying time with family which I'm sure she missed. She's got lots of stories to tell, but of course I hope local and foreign media would understand she needs to rest after that ordeal.

"I wanted to rest first and I need to gather all my thoughts before facing everyone else," Mendoza said, a bit apologetic after being told that other journalists were waiting for her when she was still in Basilan.

I saw her today, and she is still recuperating afaik. I hope she gets better soon. Again, thank you to everyone who prayed for her.

If you have messages for her, just leave a comment and I'll try getting em for her. ^_^

I just learned from my dad that today's newspapers contain good news that one of the kidnapped people by forces of Abu Sayyaf was released yesterday. Ms. Esperancita "Espie" Hupida of Nagdilaab Foundation Inc. and member of United Children's Christian Fund after 46 days of captivity was freed in Basilan. She was released in the vicinity of Sitio Limbo Kassa in Barangay Magkawa, Al Barka Basilan. She was turned over to Vice Governor Al Rasheed Sakalahul which leads the Crisis Management Committee. They however did not disclose any information if ransom was paid or not. No news also of my Aunt Milet Mendoza who is still being held captive by these Abu Sayyaf. Please continue to pray for her safety!
