BOSSI RELEASED

So goes the Philippine Star's headline today, 21 July 2007. Great news! In fact I thanked God yesterday when I found out. Except that on the front page of Philippine Star, too, is a news article that's titled, "4 Abus bolt Basilan jail." The second article goes:

"Zamboanga City - Sixteen inmates, among them four Abus Sayyaf terrorists involved in the Dos Palmas kidnapping in Palawan in 2001, escaped from the Basilan Provincial Jail in Isabela City before dawn yesterday."

Coincidence? Check out the article in http://www.philstar.com/index.php?Headlines&p=49&type=2&sec=24&aid=20070720200

Meanwhile, the Philippine Daily Inquirer's headline today is "Kidnap for kidnap did it". It is subtitled:
"`We have your family,' gov't agents tell abductors". Check out the article in
