“THIS is the end of my life.”
This was the thought running through Cebuano engineer Virgilio Fernandez’s head when four Abu Sayyaf group members abducted him last June 3 in Basilan.
In the TV Patrol Central Visayas' report, Fernandez, who wore a black baseball cap and shades, arrived on a wheelchair at the Mactan-Cebu International Airport in Lapu-Lapu City yesterday morning.
“Pasalamat ko sa Ginoo nga nakabalik pa ko diri (I thank God that I managed to return),” he said.
Fernandez, who was held by his captors for 16 days, was reportedly silent and cried after the plane landed at 11 a.m. He was met with hugs from his two sons.
