Family of Cebuano Seaman Kidnapped by ASG Seek Pres. Duterte’s Help

The family of a Cebuano seaman kidnapped the terrorist Abu Sayyaf Group from a South Korean vessel in Tawi-Tawi has asked President Rodrigo Duterte for his safe release.

They were informed that 10 armed men kidnapped Glenn Alindajao, 30, a master mariner, and the Korean captain of the Dongbang Giant 2 ship last Thursday.

“Mr. President, I appeal for your help because we can’t do this on our own. This is too much for us,” Pablita Alindajao, Glenn’s mother, said.

Pablita Alindajao said that an hour before the kidnapping, her son texted her to ask if she was okay.

“Glen is a good son. He texted me ‘Mama lablab Mama.’ As his mother, this pains me so much,” she said.

The Alindajao family hails from Barangay Lahug in Cebu City.

The ship where Glenn Alindajao worked was on its way to South Korea from Australia when a squad of suspected Abu Sayyaf members boarded it.

The latest development the Alindajao family received from Glenn’s agency was that the ship had reached Manila but the information was limited. (PNA) JMC/EB/EBP
