20 Filipino UN Peacekeepers taken hostage by Syrian Rebels

Dagdag sakit sa ulo ni PNoy, sana walang mangyaring masama sa mga Peacekeepers nating kababayan.
 

DAMASCUS - Syrian rebels on Wednesday said they seized some 20 UN peacekeepers in the Golan Heights between Syria and Israel as rebels took total control of the key northern city of Raqa.
 
UN deputy spokesman Eduardo del Buey told reporters the UN Disengagement Force (UNDOF) had "reported that earlier today approximately 30 armed fighters stopped and detained about 20 peacekeepers within the area of limitation."
 
Diplomats in New York and the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the peacekeepers were from the Philippines.
 
The Britain-based watchdog distributed two amateur videos that carried statements by the rebel Yarmuk Martyrs Brigade claiming the capture.
 
A man identified as brigade spokesman Abu Kaid al-Faleh said the peacekeepers would not be freed until Syrian regime forces pull out of the area.
 
"If they do not withdraw, these men (UN troops) will be treated as prisoners," he said, and accused the UNDOF of working with the army to try to suppress the insurgency.

Ngayon malalaman ni PANOT na ang pagiging presidente ay di lang pa-pogi & pag protekta ng mga sariling interest (family business).

Sabi nga ni Dolphy; "Madaling tumakbo, pero paano pag NANALO?!"  ;D

About naman sa 20 Pinoy UN Peacekeepers, sana maging ligtas sila lalo na't may mga pamilya sila. We can only hope & pray na makauwi agad sila at di na abutin ng ilang araw, linggo, buwan o taon ang pag hostage sa kanila.
