Topic: The Killing of a Western Hostage in the Philippines - page 2. (Read 1097 times)

Duterte will be elected President of the Philippines on May 9, and he will clean up the Philippines same as he did in Davao. It is going to get very bloody in the Philippines after June 30 inauguration.

The filipinos are fed up with crime and drugs. The Abu Sayaf will be wiped off the face of the earth by Duterte. He is pissed off about them kidnapping from Samal Island here next to Davao. I been to that precise Marina where those foreigners were kidnapped from. If ever they try to kidnap me, they will have to kill me because they aren't taking me alive. They will have to shoot me or come get me, either way someone is going to bleed to death (and if I am lucky it might not be me). I am crazy Cherokee native blooded motherfucker. I can't believe those hostages got into the boat when guns were pointed at them. Fight! Charge the motherfucks like a drug-crazed (or run away if that seems more plausible), will not quit until dead lunatic. Take bullets, it is more warrior-like than decapitation.

The kidnapping shit is all about money and politics. Someone is protecting the Abu Sayaf.

Durterte will share revenue with the localities and then the MILF will crack down on the Abu Sayaf. The entire Western and Southern side of Mindanao is really a hell hole.

However, perhaps the international elite plan to fuck up Duterte's plans. They could start funding Islamic fundamentalism in the Philippines. But I think they will not succeed. Filipinos love family and simple life.

Wouldn't be the philippines that would pay the ransom. It would be the other countries. In this case canada. But wasn't likely to happen. And also "The president of the Philippines had asked that Canada not pay the ransom, saying it was the only way to stop the kidnapping industry"


It's not impossible. But we would need different priorities. Like not putting profit and power above lives.

People should never be hungry
People should never be cold

rainbows and lucky charms are nice and all but it's not possible to have this for everyone.

killing should be avoided

I agree and i think the national government havent paid yet any ransom to any foreigners. Its the local government that makes talk to higher then it would be settled.
The country is in debt in many ways. And that is also an issue that started during the start of democracy if im not mistaken.

May their soul rest in peace.

Phillipines is not that rich to pay all the terrorist demanded, If duterte win in presidential election i hope he can eliminate those terrorist.

perfectly agreed.. but every country on earth whether its religion cristianty or not must be cleaned from islamic terrorists.. they are very dangerous for our modern civilization for sure..

this is a shameful act to kill anyone who come to other countries as visitors and when they kidnapped them then asked for money. what the f*** man the visitors come to visit and they abducted then asn demand for money. this is rediculus action. and when the deadline passed they just kill them. 
how can they do that shameful act? they are they not affraid of anyone??

Thats a very terrible news. What they will achieve in killing an innocent live. When this blood shed will end?

Four decades. Six presidents. Thousands of lives (and counting), mostly those of innocent ones have been compromised because of this problem in the Southern Philippines. You can't say it's purely religious in nature. The terrorists are just using their being Muslim as an excuse to take hostages, make demands, sometimes kill foreigners and natives. Many times the government tried to stop them, but as one presidentiable said, we can't keep on killing our countrymen. Something must be done to end all this, and this starts by talking to each other.

How about four decades? That is how long they have been at it.


It isn't only islamic terrorists. It's also movements for independence or autonomy. Going there and killing everyone won't work. Didn't work in ireland. In the basque country. In palestine. Etc.

It's so sad  a large nation like the Philippines is so lame that they cannot clean out an Island region full of Islamic terrorists.

Probably small "hunter-killer" groups would be more useful in such environment, but in general I agree with your concept. Terrorists should have a bounty on their heads and should be hunted down even if that takes years.

If those who are in power responded with a drop of 100 000k troops when this happens, it wouldn't happen.

One of four hostages abducted in the Philippines last September has been killed hours after a Monday deadline for a $6.5 million ransom expired.  
The al-Qaeda-linked Abu Sayyaf group kidnapped four people from a resort on Samal Island in September 2015. The hostages—John Ridsdel and Robert Hall, both Canadian; Marites Flor, a Filipina; and Kjartan Sekkingstad, a Norwegian––all had appeared in a video asking their governments to secure their release. Earlier Monday, Abu Sayyaf demanded a $6.5 million ransom and threatened to behead a hostage if the money wasn’t delivered by 3 p.m. When that deadline passed, a severed head was dropped into the town center in Jolo. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau confirmed that Ridsdel had been killed. Filipino authorities have not officially identified the victim. Reuters reported:
