-ZAMBOANGA CITY (Mindanao Examiner / Feb. 27, 2012) – Sinimulan na umano ng pamahalaan ang negosasyon upang mapalaya sa lalong madaling panahon ang dalawang European wildlife photographer na dinukot sa lalawigan ng Tawi-Tawi nitong buwan lamang.
+ZAMBOANGA CITY, March 2 (PNA) -– The town of Simunul, a 4th class municipality in Tawi-Tawi province, has a new mayor.
-Ngunit tikom naman ang bibig ng mga opisyal ng militar at pulisya ukol sa progreso ng paguusap na pinangungunahan diumano ni Tawi-Tawi Gov. Sadikul Sahali. Naunang sinabi ng militar at pulisya na isang grupo ng mga Moro National Liberation Front members ang may hawak kina Ewold Horn, 52, mula Holland; at Lorenzo Vinciguerre, 47, ng Switzerland, at ransom umano ang motibo nito.
+This, as the Regional Trial Court (RTC) Branch 5 in Bongao, Tawi-Tawi, has annulled the proclamation of Nazif Ahmad Abdurahman and declared Benzar Tambut as the duly elected mayor of Simunul town.
-Hindi pa mabatid kung magkanong ransom ang hinihingi ng mga kidnappers, ngunit sa Naunang nilang demand ay pinaaalis ng mga ito ang militar at pulisya sa Tawi-Tawi, isa sa lalawigan ng Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM).
+In a 45-page decision, the Court has annulled Abdurahman's proclamation after Tambut filed an election protest praying among others, that an order be issued annulling and setting aside the proclamation of Abdurahman as the winner in the May 10, 2010 automated elections.
-Wala naman inilalabas na update o media briefing man lamang si ARMM Acting Governor Mujiv Hataman.
+In his protest, Tambut assisted by election lawyer Quirino Esguerra Jr., enumerated various irregularities allegedly conducted and/or perpetrated by Abdurahman and/or his followers and cohorts.
-Dinukot ng 5 armado ang nga dayuhan sa bayan ng Panglima Sugala nuong Pebrero 2 kasama ang kanilang Pinoy guide na si Ivan Sarenas, 35, na nakatakas naman.
+Tambut has contested and impugned the results of six of the total 20 clustered precincts for the mayoralty position.
-Naunang sinabi ng pulisya na local group lamang ang tumira sa mga dayuhan. “They were abducted by locals and not the Abu Sayyaf,” wika pa ni Senior Superintendent Rodelio Jocson, ang hepe ng pulisya sa Tawi-Tawi.
+Tambut and Abdurahman were among six candidates who ran for mayor.
-“They are still here in Tawi-Tawi and the operation is continuing and we wanted this problem resolve as soon as possible,” dagdag pa nito. (Mindanao Examiner)
+Earlier, Abdurahman was proclaimed as the winner in the mayoralty race having garnered the highest votes cast and canvassed during the May 10, 2010 election with a total of 2,955 votes as compared to Tambut who obtained 2,386 votes, the second highest ranking in the race of six aspirants for mayor.
+However, the Court, after the revision and judicial appreciation of ballots, has annulled Aburahman's proclamation since it found out that Tambut garnered 2,329 votes while Abdurahman garnered a total of only 1,933 votes.
+The decision, dated February 10, 2012, was penned by RTC Branch 5 Acting Presiding Judge Peter Eisma.
