Cebu (CNN Philippines, February 15) Police have arrested seven people in an operation in a top Cebu school on Monday, where they said 19 Lumad children from Davao del Norte were rescued from alleged kidnapping by a militant group.
According to authorities, parents claimed their children were taken by members of the Salugpungan Ta Tanu Igkanogon without their consent and were told they would be brought to Davao City for their schooling. They were instead found to have been staying at a retreat house of the University of San Carlos-Talamban Campus in Cebu since 2018, police said.
