ZAMBOANGA CITY – Two men have seized a government teacher in the town of Indanan in southern Philippines, reports said on Wednesday.
It said the 44-year old Allyn Abdurajak was returning home on a motorcycle from the town of Jolo when the duo intercepted her late Tuesday.
No individual or group claimed responsibility for the abduction and local police chief Abraham Orbita and town officials did not issue any statement about the latest abduction.
Just last week, six armed men suspected to be Abu Sayyaf rebels also seized two government teachers – Russel Bagonoc, 22, and Reynadeth Silano, 34, – in Moalboal village in Zamboanga Sibugay’s Talusan town.
The teachers were travelling on a motorcycle when gunmen intercepted them and dragged the duo to a waiting motorboat and sped away.
The kidnappers have reportedly demanded P10 million ransom from the Department of Education and the victims’ families.
The Alliance of Concerned Teachers-Philippines, which condemned the abductions, appealed to authorities to secure their immediate release.
“We condemn those persons who are responsible for these abductions that have victimized these dedicated public servants and resulted to the deprivation of hundreds of school children to education,” it said.
Police and military authorities have previously blamed the Abu Sayyaf in past kidnappings of teachers in the region. (Mindanao Examiner)
