Superintendent Honorio Cervantes, city police chief, said it was a member of the family of captive trader Leonardo Agan who disclosed the ransom demand. 


Agan’s wife, Philadelphia, was released in Iligan City hours after the abduction. She, however, was still not cooperating with investigators reportedly because their family was still in shock over the incident.
