MANILA, Philippines -- A television reporter who was freed late Tuesday from her Abu Sayyaf captors thanked friends and colleagues who prayed for her release and apologized to her network for causing a “headache.”
In a live radio interview in Sulu, ABS-CBN’s Ces Drilon admitted that she had no inkling that she would be kidnapped and alleged that someone had betrayed her. She however refused to elaborate because she said she was cooperating with the police in their investigation.
"Thank you for the prayers...and to my ABS-CBN family, sorry if I caused you a headache," Drilon said in Filipino.
Drilon related that they were "generally" treated well but were tied at one point.
"Nung nakausap ko si [When I talked to] Senator [Loren] Legarda, we were tied at some point may threat pupugutan ng ulo pero sila [there was a threat that they would be beheaded but] other than that I should say generally we were treated well," said Drilon.
Drilon also thanked the negotiators, Indanan Mayor Alvarez Isnaji and Senator Loren Legarda who pushed for their "unconditional release."
"As far as I know she was working for my unconditional release. The mayor... they also were great help in getting our freedom," said Drilon.

ReplyDeletesalamat nga kay Ces, naging madalas ang pag-open ko ng news websites lately, kahit hindi na rin tungkol sa kanya. hehehe although hindi ko man bi-nookmark, kasama na ang inquirer.net sa regular sites-to-visit ko (kasama ng yahoomail, friendster at multiply :P). and with all pa-sipsip-ness and bias aside, mas interesting talaga magbasa ng news sa inquirer.net kesa sa abs-cbnnews.com. kasi ung sa abscbnnews, middle of the article pa lang, nakakatamad na basahin, ewan ko lang :P
