Navy Puts Up Blockade In S. Philippines To Prevent Kidnappers From Escaping June 08, 2012 18:03 PM ZAMBONGA CITY, Philippines, June 8 (Bernama) -- The Philippine Navy has put up a naval blockade in the coast of Zambonga peninsula in southern Philippines to prevent the kidnappers of two Chinese businessmen from escaping, government security forces officials said. Police regional office director Napoleon Estilles said the blockade was set up by the Naval Forces Western Mindanao (NFWM) due to the possibility that kidnappers might ship their hostages to the southern Philippine province of Basilan. The Chinese nationals were abducted by six gunmen on June 4 in Kabasalan town in the southern Philippne province of Zamboanga Sibugay, Xinhua news agency reported. The NWFM said it had deployed a patrol gunboat and a multi-purpose assault craft as well as Joint Special Operations Group personnel to conduct coastal operations. The kidnappers are believed to be working under a leader of the secessionist group Moro Islamic Liberation Front. -- BERNAMA http://www.bernama.com/maritime/news.php?id=671610&lang=en |

A patrol gunboat and an MPAC, a "patrol gunboat" may range from the very small coastal patrol ships to the Quezon-Class Corvettes. |
