A highly-reliable source told The STAR Maitum town Mayor George Yabes would pay the ransom and reimburse the money later from the South Korean Embassy in Manila.


"But the mayor’s offer to raise funds for the ransom is contrary to the government’s no-ransom policy against the kidnappers," the source said.
