(UPDATED) -- Lone Filipina Marites Flor, who was among the four victims abducted from the Island Garden City of Samal, was freed by the Abu Sayaff on Friday morning, June 24, in Jolo, Sulu after nine months of captivity.
This was confirmed by incoming Presidential peace adviser Jesus "Jess" Dureza.
"It is actually Sulu Vice Governor Abdusakur Tan who negotiated with the Abu Sayyaf," Dureza told reporters in an interview at the sidelines of the change of command ceremony held at the Davao City Police Office (DCPO) on Friday afternoon.
