Malacanang assures the public the rescue of 79-year old Irish priest Father Michael Sinnott from his abductors.
Deputy Presidential Spokesperson Lorelei Fajardo disclosed that the Philippine government is as much concerned as the international community over the abduction and is doing its best with the rescue operations.
Fr. Sinnot, founder of ‘Hangop Kabataan Foundation’ that caters to the needs of disabled children, was abducted by still unidentified armed men at the Diocese of Pagadian on Oct.11, 2009. He is also a member of the Missionaries of St. Columban and has been working in the Philippines since the early 1980s. (PIA-MMIO)
