00:00The United States Embassy will hold a meeting with our authorities regarding the arrest of an American national vlogger

00:13who has been staying in Zamboanga del Norte for five months.

00:17We will be watching Lieutenant Colonel Ellen Galvez, the spokesperson of Police Regional Office 9.

00:29Colonel Galvez, good afternoon. This is Aljo Bendijo.

00:33Sir Aljo, good afternoon.

00:35Yes, Colonel.

00:36We would like to provide the latest information regarding your investigation

00:43as well as the extensive search and pursuit operation.

00:49Is it true that you have persons of interest in the kidnapping of an American named...

00:58What is his name, Colonel?

01:01Eastman. Mr. Eastman.

01:03Yes, Mr. Eastman. Go ahead, Colonel.

01:06Yes, Sir Aljo. The most positive thing in this investigation is that we have persons of interest.

01:16Actually, there are suspects as well.

01:19So that is our basis for our rescue operations in places where they can be seen or they can go.

01:31What is this group? Kidnapped for ransom or just threat groups in Zamboanga del Norte?

01:41Yes, Sir. We cannot divulge this yet because of our COVID-19 operation.

01:46But for now, we are looking at their connection to large kidnapped for ransom groups.

01:52So there are kidnapped for ransom groups still moving there. What are these groups, Colonel?

02:01Okay. In our previous incidents, Sir, we know that there are kidnappers in the kidnapping of the Abu Sayyaf group.

02:11Although, our area has been quiet for a long time.

02:14So that is what we are looking at in the investigation, Sir.

02:17Are these groups still remnants or are there still people who exist, Sir?

02:23Yes. Is there a demand for ransom money in the kidnapping of an American?

02:28For now, Sir, there is no demand for ransom money in the Philippines.

02:31We confirmed that in the US.

02:34How many months has he been staying in the Philippines, Colonel?

02:37Yes. For this, he went home 5 months ago, Sir.

02:42So he was married to a Filipino in Zamboanga del Norte, Cebuco. Is that correct?

02:48Yes, that is correct.

02:49Did you give at least a warning to this foreigner to be careful?

02:56As far as I know, he is the only foreigner in the house, I think it is a beachfront house in Cebuco, Zamboanga del Norte.

03:06Yes, Sir. According to the chief of police, he is being visited.

03:11He really wants to stay in the area.

03:15But there are also warnings to him, although there is no direct information.

03:20But in the previous case, Sir, here in the adjacent municipality, there was an abduction in 2020.

03:27Okay. The people of the FBI are also there to help us, to ask for help for the kidnapping of an American.

03:39How is the police helping the FBI agents?

03:47Yes, Sir. Actually, they coordinated us.

03:50They also went to the family of our victim.

03:54Actually, they are just getting updates, Sir.

03:58But they are willing to help in this investigation, Sir.

04:03Do you know the initial result of your investigation? Where is this American now, Colonel?

04:11Based on the profile of our persons of interest, we have targets of areas and communities that are being visited now.

04:20And that is the subject for operation, Sir.

04:23Okay. What are the security operations that we are carrying out in Zamboanga del Norte?

04:31Yes, Sir. We have in place security, additional security in the affected areas.

04:36And in our foreign nationals, our intelligence has been monitored for a long time.

04:43So now, we don't have proof of life that this American is still alive, Colonel?

04:51Yes, Sir. We don't have proof of life. We also don't have demand for any ransom.

04:56Okay. Just mention it to the people of the country, Colonel Galvez.

05:00Yes. Thank you, Sir.

05:01To our fellow countrymen, I am reassured that the police together with the Armed Forces of the Philippines are doing everything to rescue and save our victim.

05:13As far as our general security is concerned, we are there. We are adding more persons.

05:19Please help us if we have information that we can give through our police station office and Facebook.

05:27And also, please stop sharing unverified information.

05:32Okay. Thank you very much for your time.

05:35Police Lieutenant Colonel Helen Galvez for PR09.
