Search for Fr. Bossi now covers 2 provinces: military (10:15 p.m.)
ZAMBOANGA CITY -- The military's Western Mindanao Command (Wesmincom) has extended its search and rescue efforts for abducted Italian priest Fr. Giancarlo Bossi to two provinces in Western Mindanao.
Wesmincom Chief Eugenio Cedo said Basilan would now be included in the focus of efforts to recover Bossi.
Cedo however said this does not mean they will stop the search and rescue operations in Zamboanga Sibugay province.
Fr. Bossi, 57, of the Pontificio Istituto Missioni Estere (PIME) and parish priest of Payao town in Zamboanga Sibugay, was seized June 10 while on his way to celebrate mass in Barangay Bulawan. (Bong Garcia/Sunnex)
