The rebels' gimmicks

THE EAR - The Freeman
September 22, 2013 | 12:00am

GIMMICK. Many of the captured MNLF rebels in the Zamboanga battle tried to resort to some gimmicks to make their captors believe they are evacuees. An Ear informer who was in Zamboanga to fetch his daughter who was living with her lola said some rebels who had changed clothes had Rosary beads around their necks and estampitas of saints in their pockets.

NOVENA. One rebel joining the thousands of evacuees had a novena hanging from his neck like an ID card which is not a practice among Catholics. He was nabbed.
