ABS-CBN said that they are doing everything to help the families of its kidnapped employees led by veteran anchor and reporter Ces Orena-Drilon.
The company however said they will not pay the abductors of the team.
"ABS-CBN News will abide by its no-ransom policy because this would embolden kidnap-for-ransom groups to abduct other journalists, putting more lives at risk," the media group said in a statement.
"We ask the nation for your prayers and request our colleagues in media to join ABS-CBN News in condemning this unconscionable attack against journalists," the company added.
"We thank everyone for the outpouring of support we have received in this most difficult time. "--Alexa Villano
