ABS-CBN Crew Abducted
Unconfirmed reports coming from the Abu Sayyaf lair revealed that abducted reporter Ces Drilon is being treated fairly. The terrorists have provided Ces with a well-lit room as well as enough supply of water, food, and cosmetics.
ABS-CBN enforced a news blackout on the abduction of reporter Ces Drilon. The news blackout had to be enforced until such time the Lopezes have decided on what to prioritize: pay the ASG’s ransom demand or refund Meralco consumers’ meter deposit.
ABS-CBN has imposed a news blackout on the abduction of reporter Ces Drilon and two cameramen. But don’t you worry – anytime now, Judy Ann Santos will appear on tv to explain us the situation.
Rumors have it the military might be able to locate Ces Drilon sooner than expected. They are now following a trail – formed by Ces Drilon’s high heels.
President Arroyo has instructed the military to exhaust all means to ensure the safety of Ces Drilon – an instruction she would have not likely ordered if it were Ted or Korina who was kidnapped.
Reports say the Abu Sayyaf Group is demanding a ransom of 10 million pesos for the release of abducted ABS-CBN news crew in Sulu. The Lopezes are unfazed though: what’s 10 million compared to 21.4 billion pesos they’ve overcharged from Meralco consumers?
Briefly Noted
If it were some other people who were abducted by the Abu Sayyaf Group, ABS-CBN would be relentless in reporting every minute detail of the abduction even if it endangered the lives of the kidnap victims. But now that their own people are the ones being held, they wanted news organizations to “embargo” the story. As Alanis Morissette would have asked: Isn’t it ironic?

Sobrang init ng Meralco issue, nakakapaso! Kaya umentra na ang tuta ni Gabby Lopez na si Ces Drilon, para nga naman ma-divert ang atensyon ng mga taga Metro Manila. Hoy Ces Drilon, pinasok mo yan, kaya panindigan nyo ng boss mo yan, huwag nyong idamay ang mga sundalo sa ka-engotan nyo.
totoo kaya? pwede ring tama si paranoid (or paranoid lang sya talaga hehehe) na it could be one of Lopezes tactics para idivert ang attention ng mamamayan sa panibagong issue. makalimutan ang yelo commercial ni Juday & at the same time maglie low ang issue ng Meralco. mahusay talaga si GMA, isa na syang idol ngayon, idol na sya ng ABS sa pangliligaw sa mga tao sa totoong issue.
pero kung 22o man, sana makaligtas naman sila ng 2 nyang kasama pa.
by the way, Mr. H, favorite mo si Ces di ba *ngising-nakakaloko* hehehehehe
bilang isang responsableng mamahayag dapat alam nila na delikado ang lugar na kanilang pinasok at sa ginawa nilang pagpasok na ito ay itinaya na nila ang kanilang buhay kaya dapat lang nilang panindigan ito at makikita naman sa mga pagbabalita na kusa silang pumasok sa isang delikadong lugar kaya tama si PARANOID. isa pa, tama si MR. H na how ironic nga naman na pag ibang tao ang nakikidnap o nalagay sa ganitong situwasyon walang tigil ang pagrereport nang upate nang channel 2 bakit ngayon kailangang inews blackout. hindi fair, yan ang ABS-CBN. maninindigan, walang iwanan, hahahahahahahha
Gloria talaga, nagpakalat na nman ng mga alagad
porket binabalita ang anomalya ng ABS sa gobyerno
at gustong nakawin ng gobyerno ang Meralco
eh ginagwa nila yan! alam nman nating lahat
sa panunungkulan ni Gloria, pinakaparami ang
napapatay na reporters at aktibista……..
umn… kinda lost here, but who was abducted when ABS relentlessly gave relentless report about it?
tsaka baka ma-rape….
I think it was planned. they didn’t ask for any military escorts considering na dun sila pumunta, hindi rin sila nagpasabi dun sa hotel na tinuluyan nila kung saan sila pupunta. They deliberately wanted to contact the rebels to get a great news story or to really divert attention from the meralco issue. It might be a conspiracy.
- Meralco is set to use the kidnapping of Ces Drilon as a better example of system loss; much better than that of melting ice cubes.
- ABS CBN is willing to pay the P10 M ransom provided it is charged to the system loss charge to be paid by Meralco consumers.
wow..i couldn’t agree more with the last part of this blog post…any media org..will definitely milk, juice, squeeze or..whatever else shit they can on any news they think is worth BLAbbing about…it’s no longer journalism more like sensationalism…grr…Muka Nyo!!!
haha relentless sila sa kahit anong news..khit walang kwenta masabi lang na me balita…todo interview sa family members ng namatayan. susugud sa hotel kung saan me mangyayaring kudeta, pupunta sa pugad ng terorista….hay…mahilig clang mang-exploit…now it’s their turn…
wawa cameraman…puro c ces na lang yan…heheh
sa palagay ko pakana ng mataas na tao yan, para nga naman may 10 million sila which i think, of course ibibigay ni lopez yun… bawi naman sila sa presyo ng story, worldwide yan eh…baka may balato pa si ces
eto namang si feeling maganda na juday, mabayaran lang ang exposure kahit katangahang system loss as tunaw na yelo eh pinapatos, kakadiri tong si juday minsan eh….. may f**rum ba para sa malapad na pagmumukha? un ang patusin mo….
anyway i will feel bad though if truthfully abducted sya…
ryan agoncillo na feeling wow…itigil mo na kaka ecst**y mo… kenkoy ka rin minsan eh noh…anyway di ka kasama sa topic dito… next time pag meron…
kenkoy toh….
kritikenkoy is sooo funny! pero hindi naman si Juday ang ganid, yung manager nya na si Alfie Lorenzo, siyempre may talent fee, probably in the millions of pesos, kaya hayun, hatakin si Juday at pagbasahin ng script sa teleprompter! Kita nyo naman kung gaano ka-over-exposed si Juday, mula pasador, gatas, toyo, suka, sabong pampaligo, sabon sa damit, shampoo, etc. etc. siguro kung me posporo at butong pakwan na ilalapit ke alfie, ipapa-endorse pa rin nya ke Juday. She is utterly overexposed kaya she will never reach the status of a megastar!!! Dahil walang strategy para ke Juday ang manager niya!
I still do not believe it – that Ces Drilon is truly kidnapped and is a kidnap victim. And if it is true – SHE DESERVES IT! And I do hope this becomes a wake up call to all the media personnel.
In terms of a conspiracy plot – aside from the view that it was to divert attention, may I add that perhaps we have another senatorial wannabee? I am telling you, chances are, she would be running for a senatorial seat in 2010!!
I say she deserves it because she had seen herself, which goes for other journalist – they have seen themselves as UNTOUCHABLE, INVULNERABLE, SUPERHUMAN. May I remind the Peninsula rebellion? They were asked to leave for a military operation and yet they still go on trying to do some coverage? They go as if bullets would spare them, as if they are bullet proofed against bullets or impervious to tear gas!
The media were asked to be quiet then, and these people all in the sake of the right to know – continued to be where they should not be.
Oh well, now…. is she really kidnapped? I do not know, SET UP screams to my head.
Arghhhhhhhhhhh! Ces and her team do not deserve to be kidnapped! Ces just doing her job to support her boys.My heart goes to her family and I pray that she will be back home soon.
Agree with you on how ABS-CBN would through its reports jeopardize the success of operations or the safety of hostages on several occasions in the past. Funny how they’d probe the military re such details, unthinkingly. Now they want everyone to be quiet. I guess it’s a matter of “I love my own” where the network is concerned.
Enjoy reading your posts a lot!
Pls. look no further as to the master mind of the kidnapping of Ms. Ces Drilon. Why not thoroughly investigate and dissect the whole ordeal. The culprit is no other than Vice Gov. Sahidulla herself. Before she was even in Politics, she and her husband together with their goons have been involved in a kidnapping in Zamboanga city. They too were staging and acting as emissaries to a kidnapped chinese businessman in zamboanga city. All the while they were pretending to be negotiators, but it was their own goons/people who abducted the businessman who was later freed and unharmed. there was “no ransom” money. But only prize money and a brand new car was given to the Sahidulla for a job well done from the family of the freed, innocent businessman.
Question: why were they involved with negotiation in the first place?
Did the abductors request for them? Yes. And just Like what Ces Drilon is in right now. They just done it again. And again, they are going to get away with it. Ms. Sahidulla has been very well rehearsed with the whole scenario.
I am not involved in politics, nor do I have anything against Vice Gov. Sahidulla. I am just a concerned citizen who happens to know a little bit of their background. which I urge you (media) should also give it some thought. Again, I am not asking you to believe in this statement. But it is something that is worth looking into, especially when human lives is at stake. And may be this time, the Vice Gov. is not in it for money, after all she is the Vice Gov. in Sulu. But perhaps, she’s in it for the “pogi points” so to speak.
May I ask this, why did the Abusayaf hand picked the so called negotiators? And why did Mayor Isnaji have to consult with Vice. Gov? Also, why do these Abusayaf have direct access to the cellphone of the Vice Gov.? Are they text mates, before the kidnapping?

kenkoy naman talaga eh noh, anyway alfie it is nga…
galing galingan yang si alfie eh…
pero teka… ces nga pala topic…
nyway i think bulsheet lang talaga yang kidnapping session bout her na yan, baka gimmick lang yan , baka may pelikula pa nga gawin bout dyan and sigurado si juday ang mag-gagaganap… pero teka di bagay kay juday, wag na lang pala siguro … di bebenta…
mukang tangalang, sayang sa kuryente, baka sa tunaw na yelo na naman ibintang nitong si juday ang pagtaas ng singil sa kuryente, para sabihin ko sau juday…ang yelo pag natunaw “ice tubig” na yun, mapapakinabangan pa rin pero ang kuryenteng nawala o system loss, hindi na!!
ces gudluck sau kung abducted ka nga, ur in a BIG trouble, seryoso mga terorista lagot ka…
and sigurado pababayaran sau ni mang lopez ang ten million na ransom pag laya mo… ewan ko lang kung di maubos mga pinaghirapan mo…mapapel ka kasi eh…bahala ka na sa buhay mo, di kita pakialaman na, minahal kita lam mo yan
ingatz!

Ces Drilon, hingi ka na lang tulong sa Magdalo, lalo sa kay Trillanes. Meron kasing balita na brother-in-”low” mo ang Senatong na un. Pero kung maligtas ka ng mga sundalong tinutuligsa mo palagi (na gagamitin siyempre ang tax na binabayad namin para sa mission na ito, na mailigtas ka) sana naman magpakabait ka na ineng. Wag masyadong garapalan ang pagka oposisyon mo. bigyan mo naman maski konting pagtingin ang administrasyon ni GMA, hane?!
she’s looking for trouble and “scoop”.. right? well.. she definitely found what she’s looking for. problem is, this group is not like the military who has the moral values not to “really hurt” them. masyadong matapang eh..tignan na lang natin ngayon. too bad everybody who’s not thinking enough is still blaming the government.
moderate your greed favorite statement ng mga taga-opposition.si ces ay greed makakuha ng scoop para sa magandang storya at exposure sa international media.just in case na mabilog niya ang cable news group gaya ng cnn,bbc,fox news at al jezzera para alukin siyang magtrabaho. magandang build-up yan para sa career niya.for sure pagpinalaya siya ng mga abductor niya panigurado magdedemand siya ng increase sa mga lopezes.para taasan ang salary,bigyan ng magandang show at magkaroon ng sariling best selling book at autobiography.pwede rin siyang humabol sa senatorial ticket for 2010.Sa mga abu-sayaf naman big break kanila ito upang makabalik sa limelight at mabuhay ang nasirang karir.sa mga negotiator at corrupt na official magandang profit sharing at malakihang commission.Sa tv station at sister companies oppurtunity para mapaganda ang imahe.
kritikenkoy malabong galawin at halayin si ces ng mga abusayaf.siyempre nagka-comeback sila sa nasira nilang karir pag-ginawa nila yun tapos sila at wala ng media mag-PR at magbigay ng magandang publicity sa kanila.sa showbiz ganun ang mga nagka-comeback na artista inaayos ang mga asun2.tungkol naman sa komersyal ni juday sa pag-endorso ng meralco may point si carlos_m. Yung mga talent manager yan ang mga ganid.lalo na pag-mahaderang bakla maraming sinususten2hang papa.kaya yung mga alaga nilang artista iniexploit nila kaya grab lang ng grab ng mga product endorsement kahit makakaapekto sa karir. ABS-CBN and Meralco should avoid meddling in politics.magconcentrate na lang sa pag-create ng mga positibong programa at educational shows sa mga kabataan at mga pilipinong naghihirap.masyadong ambitious yung public affairs nila kaya nasisira sila ng pulitika.Kung presidente pa si Makoy malamang wala na sila sa ere.
Abu Sayyaf can be a militia of anybody whether by the government, local warlords, JI or anybody that might serve its purpose. They will never disappear as long as they get the right amount for the job. With the millions of dollars paid to them, I still wonder the likes of Sabaya, Robot et al died miserably and still their kins are still in poverty.
Ces is a well known personality plus she works for ABS, a situation that makes her an item of trade…IMHO the kidnapping was systematically planned, my conspiracy theory tells me GMA has a hand on this…well there’s only two popular GMA acronyms and your guess is as good as mine.
Abu Sayyaf msg, hehehehe pasensya na sa lahat, “TRABAHO LANG, WALANG PERSONALAN!”
- Ces buhay pag me pera (ransom)
- Daboy patay khit dami pera.
Hehehehe! ABS-CBN naghirap magsaing ng ma-divert ang MERALCO Issues, GMA-7 kumain ng maganda scoop na balita. Hehehe, dapat mg-contribute dn jan ang GMA7. Ayon kay papa Mike Enriquez: “Patay man o buhay, hinding-hindi ko kayo tantantara… excuse me pow!… tatantanan!”
- Cmdr Robot(ASG Leader) never dies kc robot xa!
Hehehehe, Cguro takot yan kay First Gentleman Mike Arroyo, “BACK OFF!!!”
Kc punta ng abroad c NUR.
suggestion lang kay defense sec. teodoro:
sir,
hiram (mahal kasi bumili.. hehe) ka ng spyplane sa israel o america. yung may ability na mag drop ng missile. huwag lang basta missile. nuclear na para ubos lahat pati DNA ng abus. ni sa panginip hindi na sila mabuhay muli.
oks ba? kung ayaw di wag….
ces drilon was already released by her abductors and it was believed that a ransom was paid which range from 10 to 25 million pesos..
This ransom will be used again by the terrosist to sow more terror in MIndanao
>my_isip
akalain mong naisip mo yon……LoL!!!
oo nga naman noh…aba’t teka nga…
