| 2013-06-23 |
| Two female Muslim filmmakers were reportedly seized in the southern Philippines, but authorities could not be reached for confirmation. The two women were filming in Sulu province when gunmen reportedly seized them inside a commuter jeep near Patikul town. Officials have released no information about the alleged abduction. But a television network had reported that Abu Sayyaf may have been involved. It was not immediately known what the duo was filming, but one of them had previously researched coffee farming in Sulu, one of the provinces in the Muslim autonomous region which is one of the biggest suppliers of coffee in the region. Both women have written and made many films about Muslims and their culture and traditions in Mindanao. |
