We don\u2019t know their motives &#8230; We just don\u2019t have all the information at the moment,\u201d Aquino said.<\/p>\n\n<p>He added: \u201cThe operations to recover the kidnapped Filipino woman and the foreign visitors are ongoing. One of the questions I asked yesterday was when did an incident like this happen before in Samal and I was told it was in 2001. As usual I cannot disclose details of the ongoing operations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>He was referring to the 2001 attack by the Abu Sayyaf on Pearl Farm also on Samal Island in which two of the resort\u2019s employees were killed. The group\u2019s attempt to abduct the guests was foiled, though.<\/p>\n\n<p>The President said he did not want to disrupt efforts to rescue the victims. \u201cWe have pinpointed where the victims have been kept and we don\u2019t want to give the kidnappers a reason to move to another location. Rest assured the government will pursue these kidnappers,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n<p>Malaca\u00f1ang earlier said the Philippine National Police Anti-Kidnapping Task Force had coordinated with the military\u2019s Eastern Mindanao Command in tracking down the armed group.<\/p>\n\n<p>Thirty foreigners were on the resort island when the armed group attacked on Saturday night.<\/p>\n\n<p>Last year, close to 30,000 foreign tourists visited Samal Island, known for its diving spots and white sand beaches, according to local tourism records.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Aquino on Wednesday said too many questions hounded the government about the kidnapping of a Norwegian businessman, two Canadians and a Filipino woman on Samal Island, off Davao City, on Monday night. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":37,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[34,45],"tags":[514,131472,162672,162752,162658,106045],"byline":[96595],"source":[19],"column":[],"editor":[],"videographer":[],"position":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Aquino: How did abductors get in?
