Zamboanga UPDATE: 2 pari naipit sa Zamboanga stand-off by Jocelyn Tabangcura-Domenden Sep 10, 2013 11:52am HKT DALAWANG pari ang na-trapped sa mga hostages ng Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) sa Zamboanga City. Ito ang kinumpirma ni Archdiocese of Zamboanga administrator Chris Manongas. Kabilang aniya dito ang Vicar-General ng Archdiocese of Zamboanga City. Sa panayam ng Radyo Veritas, sinabi ni Msgr. Manongas na nakausap niya mismo ang isa sa dalawang pari at humihingi ito ng tulong sa kanya dahil naubusan na sila ng pagkain at inuming tubig sa loob ng Simbahan. Inamin ni Msgr. Manongas na hirap silang makapaghatid ng tulong sa dalawang pari at mga evacuee doon dahil naka-cordon ang lugar at hindi sila pinapayagan ng mga awtoridad na makalapit sa sentro ng sagupaan upang hindi madamay sa kaguluhan. “Some are even trapped there,there are two priests there who were trapped kasama nila ang mga evacuees. Hindi sila makalabas ng simbahan,they cannot get away of the church.Nakausap ko isa sa kanila then they said they have no food, they have no water. I am having a difficulty on how to penetrate the place because it’s cordoned. We are not allowed to come inside and it is also very dangerous because the fighting is beside the church and they cannot get out anymore. I was able to speak to the parish priest there, and they were asking for help especially for food and water,” bahagi ng pahayag ni Msgr. Manongas. Sa kasalukuyan, hawak ng rebeldeng MNLF ang barangay Mariki, Sta. Barbara, Sta. Catalina at Rio Hondo. 5 katao pinakawalan Kinumpirma din ni Msgr. Manongas na ngayong umaga lang ay pinakawalan ng mga rebelde ang lima katao na kinabibilangan ng apat na kababaihan at isang bata. “It was comfirmed this morning that there were 5 hostages that were released. 1 child and four women,” ayon kay Msgr. Manongas. Inamin ni Msgr. Manongas na very tense at very dangerous ang sitwasyon sa sentro ng Zamboanga city dahil sa patuloy na putukan. Inihayag ng administrator ng Archdiocese ng Zamboanga na libu-libo na ang mga evacuees na nasa grandstand, sa mga paaralan at sa Cathedral na kanilang patuloy na pinapakain. “We still have a very tense situation. We are still monitoring the situation and at the same time we are trying to help the evacuees. We have thousands of evacuees already, may mga evacuee sa school at sa grandstand. Our social action staff will go there again to help the people.Yesterday, nagkaroon ng stampede kasi people were very hungry. All stores are closed , all banks are closed,you cannot buy anything, there are no even transportations running around. Everybody is afraid,it’s very dangerous. Patuloy naman ang pagtutok natin sa mga tao,sa cathedral may mga pamilya din tayong kinakalinga, we are feeding the evacuees,” pahayag ni Msgr. Manongas.
