Said NPAs disguised themselves as NBI agents and are wearing color green NBI t-shirts. The kidnappers were seen heading towards Boston, Davao Oriental area using two (2) van vehicles; one (1) Toyota Hi-ace van color blue with plate number VDE-690 and one (1) Hundai STAREX van, color green with plate number 213. The ultimate motive for the abduction is yet to be determined by the military together with the PNP in the area.
Immediately after the abduction of Lingig Mayor Dano, 75th Infantry (Marauder) Battalion deployed troops in hot pursuit to the kidnappers but were ambushed by NPAs at Sitio Mahogany, Brgy Pagbakatan, Lingig Surigao del Sur. Firefight ensued for 30 min where one (1) soldier was killed and six (6) others were wounded. Their names are withheld prior to the notification of their immediate family.
MGen Victor Felix, Commanding General of 4th Infantry (Diamond) Division was saddened by these and calls for everybody to help put a complete stop to these senseless atrocities perpetrated by the NPAs. Furthermore, he ordered no let up pursuit operations against these armed groups.
Col Romeo Gan, the 401st brigade commander is currently coordinating with all government forces including civilian organizations to help facilitate the safe release of Mayor Dano.

These NPAs are now getting frustrated caused by our successes with Internal Peace and Security Campaign Plan “BAYANIHAN”. The NPAs continuously focus on soft targets only, capitalizing on those who cannot fully defend themselves. (401st Brigade/PIA-Caraga)

ni Susil D. Ragas
SURIGAO CITY, August 6 (PIA) - Gipahalipayan ni Pangulong Benigno Aquino III ang awardees sa Ten Outstanding Students of the Philippines (TOSP) karong tuiga, siya miingon nga ang Pilipinhong nasod dako ang paglaom kanila alang sa ilang kontribusyon sa nasodnong kalamboan.
“We have the highest hopes for all of you here today, finalists and awardees alike. For everything you have already achieved, allow me to give you my most heartfelt congratulations,” ang Pangulo miingon sa iyang pamahayag nga gipaabot pinaagi kang Executive Secretary Paquito Ochoa Jr. atol sa simple awarding ceremonies didto sa Malacanang kagahapong adlawa Huwebes, Agosto 4, 2011.
Ang Pangulo usab mipasalig nga ubos sa iyang liderato adunay maayong pagdumala nga makapabag-o sa paglaom alang sa maayong kaugmaon sa tanan. Ang mga Pilipino, siya miingon, labi na gyod ang mga batan-on, dili na mopili pag-adto sa laing nasod tungod sa maayong oportunidad nga anaa dinhi sa atong nasod.
Ang nasod nagsugod na pagkita sa positibong mga resulta sa reporma nga gisugdan ubos sa bag-ong liderato, ang Pangulo miingon.
Kini nga mga reporma nagpugong ug direktang tubag sa korupsyon sa burukrasya ug nagapasiugda sa kultura sa transparency ug accountability sa serbisyong gobyerno, dugang pa niya.
“Through good governance and a clear blueprint for national development that will produce more jobs in the coming years, we are slowly turning working abroad as an option, instead of the necessity it has become for some of those who want to attain better lives,” siya miingon.
Karong tuiga nga TOSP awardees mga modelo sa tanang mga kabataan sa tibuok nasod, mga lideres ugma damlag sa nasod nga dako ang matabang pag-uswag sa nasod, dugang pa niya.
Ug sa samang bahin ang Pangulo mipadayag sa iyang pagkamapasalamaton ngadto sa katawhan nga nagpaluyo sa TOSP awards alang sa ilang makanunayong paglimbasog pagselebrar sa kontribusyon sa mga kabatan-onan sa pagpalambo sa nasod.
Ang mga midawat karong tuiga sa TOSP awards naglakip nila Geminn Louis Apostol (medicine and health-related profession), Ateneo de Manila University; Christopher Millora (medicine and health-related profession), West Visayas State University; Kendrick Nigel Tan (medicine and health-related profession); Centro Escolar University; Sean Vincent Aquilino (agriculture, science and math), University of the Philippines-Diliman; Julius Paul Juen, (agriculture, science and math), University of St. La Salle; Jonathan Andro Tan (agriculture, science and math), Siliman University; Sittie Norhane Lao (humanities, communication and socialsciences),Mindanao State University-main campus; Maria Angelica Reyes (humanities, communication and social sciences), De La Salle University-Lipa City; Arleen delos Reyes (teacher education), University of Nueva Caceres; ug si Athena Plaza (business, entrepreneurship, economics, industry, criminology and law), University of San Carlos.

Ang TOSP usa ka awards ug formation program nga gitukod ni businessman Jose Concepcion Jr. isip usa ka paagi aron pagdasig sa kabatan-onan aron molihok alang sa nasodnong pag-uswag Kini nagpasidungog sa mga estudyanteng mogradwar sa kolehiyo nga milabaw dili lamang sa akademiko apan nagpuyo usab sa kinabuhing gihalad sa pagserbisyo sa katawhan nga dili kasagaran kaysa uban sa ilang tagsa-tagsa ka larang nga mga interes.
