Cops still clueless on whereabouts of kidnapped nurse in Basilan

MANILA, Philippines - Suspected bandits who kidnapped a nurse last month are likely moving her from island to island in Mindanao to avoid detection and capture, Basilan police said Sunday. Basilan Police Chief Sr. Supt. Salik Macapantar said they are still trying to pinpoint the location of the kidnappers and their hostage, Precious Feliciano. "Malamang palipat-lipat ito sa mga islands (It appears they are moving her from island to island)," Macapantar said in an interview on dzXL radio. Feliciano's abductors had reportedly threatened to kill her if they do not get a P25-million ransom by Monday. But Macapantar also lamented that relatives of Feliciano, who was kidnapped in the Zamboanga area last July, had not coordinated with them. "Wala kaming alam. Hanggang ngayon wala pang nakipag-coordinate sa amin na mga relatives (We have no idea of her whereabouts. Up to now her relatives have not coordinated with us)," he said. - GMANews.TV
