Soco’s 7th anniv episode on hostage rescue mission
MANILA, Philippines - Gus Abelgas (photo) outlines the anatomy of a successful hostage rescue mission in the special seventh anniversary episode of SOCO tomorrow, Nov. 24.
The episode will focus on the 24-hour hostage drama that took place in Olongapo City in April this year that involved two minors being held captive.
The suspect Francisco Mamolo was eventually arrested during the police’s final assault after hours of failed negotiations. Police investigation revealed that the suspect, who was found to have no criminal record, was just jaded after losing his job when his wife was pregnant.
What should a victim do to survive an abduction? How should the authorities negotiate with the suspect to ensure safety of the hostages?
Gus also examines the different types of hostage takers and what goes on in their minds in the midst of the situation.
SOCO airs after Showbiz Inside Report on ABS-CBN.
