MANILA -- Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Avelino Razon Jr. said Indanan Mayor Alvarez Isnaji took P3 million of the P5-million ransom paid by the family of ABS-CBN senior reporter Ces Oreña-Drilon.
During Friday's press briefing at the PNP national headquarters in Camp Crame, Quezon City, Razon said Isnaji appeared to be the leader of the group that took Drilon, her two cameramen, and their guide Professor Octavio Dinampo at the outskirts of Maimbung town in Sulu province on June 8.
