[edit] The news of the year?

Without being so redundant, let me state that on April 4, 2008, I alerted the Supreme Court of the Philippines in 40 pages Motion[1]in my case, regarding Philippine Extrajudicial Killings and Desaparecidos, which I filed[2] or simply[3], but despite 3 court pleadings, it never acted on this grave matter. It is only Mary, the Blue Madonna and the Holy Eucharist that can solve and end these kidnappings and killings. I added this: They were intercepted on Sunday in Maimbung, Sulu, Jolo, by al-Qaida-linked Abu Sayyaf militants led by armed men under Albader Parad, an Abu Sayyaf leader and Gapur Jundain, former member of the Moro National Liberation Front. Chief Superintendent Joel Goltiao, police regional director for the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, announced that:"Pinapakain naman sila [They are being fed well], they are well and alive, hindi sila nakatali [they are not tied] and nakakalabas sila [they are able to move around] but they are being escorted." Ransom were allegedly asked, ranging from P 10 million to P 30 million (227,000 and 454,000 dollars).
