A note has been found and believed to be left by the abductors: “Katarungan sa aming commander [by] NPA.” (Justice for our commander by NPA.)

Igacos Mayor, Aniano Antalan – quoted the note to the media in Samal.

Authorities now say that at least 30 foreigners were present in the marina when the kidnapping took place. Reports say the gunmen were speaking English and Tagalog while forcibly removing their victims from their boat.
