FOLLOWING the release of a Norwegian and three Indonesian hostages, the terrorist Abu Sayyaf Group freed two Filipino captives in Sulu on Sunday, which was attributed by the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) to “sustained military operations.”

Maj. Felimon Tan, spokesman of the AFP Western Mindanao Command, said Daniela Taruc and Levy Gonzales, employees of Power City Corp. a subcontractor of a telecommunication company, were freed and later found by a local at Barangay Tiptipon in Panglima Estino town, at about 10:30 p.m. on Sunday.
