“The intensified military offensives caused the Abu Sayyaf Group to flee, and opened a chance for rescue operations,” the report said.

The Vietnamese was abducted last Nov. 11, 2016, off Coco Island in Basilan.

He was brought to a military hospital to undergo medical checkup and debriefing prior before being turned over to authorities, the report said. CBB
