KORONADAL CITY – Police still have no clues on the whereabouts of a local labor leader who was snatched by three armed men last August.
“Our police operatives are still gathering information to locate Rosios. So far, as of yesterday, I have not yet received any good news about him. We are not sleeping on our jobs. We are doing our best to locate him,” Senior Superintendent Robert Kiunisala, South Cotabato police director, told The STAR in a mobile phone interview yesterday.
Kiunisala was referring to mechanic Jimmy Rosios, a director of the Yellow Bus Line’s labor union board, who was seized while urinating in front of the company’s garage in Barangay Carpenter Hill at around 7 p.m. last Aug. 11.
Rosios’ abduction came on the heels of explosions that ripped through two YBL buses that left a preacher dead and several passengers wounded.
Police and the military blamed the Al-Khobar extortion gang for the bomb attacks.
YBL operations manager Olimpio Par said they, too, are exerting efforts to get information that could possibly lead to Rosios’ recovery.
“Pero wala talaga kaming makuhang (But we could not get any) information where he is now and who snatched him,” Par told The STAR in a phone interview.
Par said Rosios’ abductors have not yet contacted the YBL management or his family for any demands.
