MALAYSIANS LIKELY TO BE FREED MIDNIGHT MANILA, (ABS-CBN) - The government's chief hostage crisis
negotiator Secretary Robert Aventajado expressed optimism early Monday evening that the
remaining three Malaysian hostages of Abu Sayyaf extremists in Jolo, Sulu would be
released by midnight.
Aventajado said that should the hostages' release push
through, they will be turned over to the Malaysian ambassador Tuesday morning in
Zamboanga.
Two Filipino hostages, among the remaining 14 of the original
21 hostages kidnapped from a Malaysian diving resort last April, would not yet be
released, Aventajado also said.
However, the female Filipino hostage is expected to be
included in the next batch of hostages to be freed, all of them women.
