The chief of police on Jolo island said the hostages, who were crew of a Taiwanese-owned tugboat intercepted by Abu Sayyaf rebels, were delivered to the local governor's home at around 0500 GMT then taken to an army base. The Philippines rarely publicises such payments, but it is widely believed no captives are released without them. |
