ZAMBOANGA CITY – Gunmen barged in a house and seized a family of three in the southern Filipino province of Zamboanga Sibugay, just 110 kms east of Zamboanga City, police said Saturday.
It said the 42-year old Elmer Ronoc and his wife Nora, 44, a trader; and their son Ricson, 8, were taken on Friday evening in Kulisap village in Payao town.
The trio was believed spirited out on a motorboat, but it was unclear who carried out the abductions, although previous kidnappings in the area had been largely blamed to the Abu Sayyaf and rogue members of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front.
No individual claimed responsibility for the latest incident, but police said a search is underway to rescue the victims. (Ely Dumaboc)
