Rom wrote a very relevant piece over at http://www.filipinovoices.com. What I like about her is she writes in a very simple way (not simplistic, there's the difference) that underscores the relevant points instead of writing pieces considered as "deep shit writing". You can be deep without using words that most of us don't understand.
Rom's questions are quite important to shed light on this kidnapping of Ces. What I would like to add to some of Rom's questions is just one query:
Who betrayed Ces Drilon and facilitated her abduction?
Prof. Dimampo invited Ces to this interview. He accompanied the crew to Sulu, in a far-off place off the beaten track. Why?
I still suspect that it was this Biyaw who orchestrated this caper for the money. Note that this character disappeared almost as if he's a ghost. Was he being protected by the Marines in Sulu? Possibly.
Who fed that info that Hapilon intends to surrender and wants an interview?
During my days as a broadcast journalist, I went to these places in Talipao and Patikul and even swam in the waters of Jolo. I was'nt kidnapped. Why? Because I befriended the ulamas and the influential religious people there. I even made some real friends there.
When armed men flagged down our vehicle (a Tamaraw) and out came one of the ASG's leaders (the one-armed Dr. Abu), they never kidnapped us. Why? Because like I said, I showed that I was there just for the story, nothing more. I don't care about their "cause". I just went there for the story.
That's why I wrote here previously that I really don't believe that the ASG is behind this kidnapping. They know Ces Drilon as a serious journalist. And it would be fool-hardy for any ASG member to kidnap a potential ally.
Who masterminded all of these things?
