June 16, 2008 The families of Ces Drilon and Jimmy Encarnacion clarified erroneous reports that they are directly communicating with the kidnappers and independently negotiating for the release of Ces and Jimmy. "Only Mayor Isnaji is directly communicating with the kidnappers. We are counting on him for the release of Ces and Jimmy and continue to pray for his efforts." The family of Drilon was surprised by reports that Isnaji's position is weakened because the family is talking to the kidnappers directly. "We met with Major Isnaji in Zamboanga City yesterday (Sunday). He knows we are not talking to the kidnappers and are counting on him for the release of Ces and Jimmy. We have also been assured by ABS-CBN that they are not holding separate talks with the kidnappers." The families appealed to the media to report with sensitivity and utmost consideration for the safety of Ces and Jimmy. |
