OFFICIAL STATEMENT ON CES DRILON:
ABS-CBN News journalists Ces Drilon, Jimmy Encarnacion, and Angelo Valderama have been kidnapped for ransom.
ABS-CBN News is doing everything it can to help the families of its kidnapped journalists through this harrowing ordeal.
However, ABS-CBN News will abide by its policy not to pay ransom because this would embolden kidnap for ransom groups to abduct other journalists, putting more lives at risk.
We ask the nation for your prayers and request our colleagues in media to join ABS-CBN News in condemning this unconscionable attack against journalists.
We thank everyone for the outpouring of support we have received in this most difficult time.
