On the release of one of six hostages in Basilan...

I commend the efforts of the authorities in securing the release of Hernald Chavez, one of the six hostages being held by kidnappers in Basilan.

I call on them to ensure that the five remaining hostages, especially the three women teachers, will be able to rejoin their families as soon as possible.
