Ilang beses kasi nagka-tsansang tumakas si Ullah, kasama ang marami pang dinukot mula sa Sipadan Island, pero hindi siya sumama. Suspetsa ng militar, baka na-Stockholm Syndrome siya. ‘Yon din ang napansin ng psychiatrists na gumamot sa hostages sa Sweden nu’ng 1966 na nagalit pa nang barilin ng rescuers ang abductors.

Terrified. Captive. And yet constantly cheerful.

That is the image of Roland Ullah that came through in glimpses from film clips and stills of the hostages held by Abu Sayyaf bandits. In all the photos I recall, the man smiled nervously and went about the chores of captivity with a heart lighter than the rest.

But Roland is a man disdained by the Fates.

All of the Sipadan hostages were released save for him. Batch after batch, hostages came and went. Roland remained.

Wearing a clean white shirt but looking emaciated, Ullah was presented to President Arroyo at the military’s Southern Command headquarters here where he was airlifted last Wednesday from the nearby island of Sulu.

"I asked her to help my family," said Ullah, his voice choked with emotion as his wife and two sons aged one and three flanked him.
