Abduction of children to force parents' surrender

 Basahin ang artikulong ito sa Pilipino

Elements of the Philippine Army's 8th Infantry Division abducted 18-year-old Rosa Guadiana on August 22, in Catarman, Northern Samar. Rosa is the daughter of Comrade Abdias Guadiana, one of the consultants of the National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP) for the peace talks. Rosa was abducted to force her father to surface and surrender. According to witnesses, an unidentified man sat beside Rosa while she was riding a bus bound for Catbalogan and interrogated her. The man rode the bus from Barangay Maulong, Catbalogan right in front of the 8th ID headquarters. The NDFP has condemned the AFP's continued refusal to surface Rosa.

Rosa's case is not the first of its kind in Eastern Visayas. In December 2000, nine-year-old Levi Mabanan was abducted by a unit of the 34th IB. Levi was taken to force the surrender of his mother and brother, who are both Red fighters. Levi has not been released to date.
