SULU (Mindanao Examiner / Feb. 10, 2014) – Philippine authorities and the Sulu provincial government have put up a special anti-kidnapping task force to address the threats of kidnappings and abductions here.

Gov. Totoh Tan, who was invited as speaker to a recent seminar on “Community Awareness and Actions on Kidnap for Ransom” held at the Sulu Area Coordinating Center, said the creation of the Special Anti-Kidnapping Task Force-Sulu is long overdue “if we take into consideration the spate of incidences in the province, but nevertheless, as they say, better late than never.”

“Ang mga hakbangin po tulad ng pagsugpo sa kaganapan ng mga kidnapping ay hindi lamang po nakasalalay sa ating mga kapulisan at kasundaluhan. Ang mga lokal na pamahalaan at ating mga komunidad at taong-bayan ay dapat rin po na gampanan ang kanilang bahagi kaagapay ng ating sektor sa seguridad upang magkaroon ng tagumpay sa pagsugpo at paglutas ng mga insidente ng kidnapping na lubusang nakasira sa pangalan at reputasyon ng ating lalawigan.”

“ Ang mga nangyari sa Sulu, kung ito’y mangyari sa mga lungsod ng Kabisayaan at Luzon ay sari-saring ingay na ang maririnig natin sa telebisyon at sa mga kalsada upang maiparating sa mga kinauukulan ang mga naisin ng tao sa kanilang kapaligiran. Bagama’t ang mga tao natin ay hindi matimpi at hindi masyadong lantad sa kanilang mga napupuna, hindi po ibig sabihin na ang kanilang pagsasawalang-kibo ay palatandaan ng kanilang pagsang-ayon sa mga pangyayari,” ani Tan sa talumpati nito.

Tan, in one media interview, said many kidnapped victims were taken from other provinces and cities only to bring and hide them here and dragging the province to a situation that gives a bad impression to the peace and order situation in Sulu.

The seminar was attended by various municipal governments, non-governmental organizations, traders and business groups and police, among others.  (Ahl-Franzie Salinas)
