A boy jumps from a wharf Sunday, June 15, 2008 in the southern Philippine island of Sulu, as a group of children watch in awe. And children enjoy swimming in the clear water as a Philippine Navy ship anchors in Jolo town.
Locals continue their daily routine as if there is no hostage crisis in Sulu. Abu Sayyaf gunmen are still holding a kidnapped ABS-CBN reporter Ces Drilion and her cameraman Jimmy Encarnacion, including Professor Octavio Dinampo, of the Mindanao State University. Another cameraman Angelo Valderama was freed June 12 after negotiators paid several hundreds of thousands as "board and lodging" fees. The kidnappers are demanding money between P10 million to P50 million for the release of the hostages who were seized June 8 in Maimbung town while on their way to secretly interview a senior Abu Sayyaf leader Radulan Sahiron.(Mindanao Examiner Photo)
