THREE MALAYSIANS LIKELY TO BE FREED MIDNIGHT

MANILA, (ABS-CBN) - The government's chief hostage crisis negotiator Secretary Robert Aventajado expressed optimism early Monday evening that the remaining three Malaysian hostages of Abu Sayyaf extremists in Jolo, Sulu would be released by midnight.

Aventajado said that should the hostages' release push through, they will be turned over to the Malaysian ambassador Tuesday morning in Zamboanga.

Two Filipino hostages, among the remaining 14 of the original 21 hostages kidnapped from a Malaysian diving resort last April, would not yet be released, Aventajado also said.

However, the female Filipino hostage is expected to be included in the next batch of hostages to be freed, all of them women.
