Prayers sought for Red Cross workers

PALAYAN CITY –Senior Board Member of Nueva Ecija Rommel Padilla and younger brother of popular action star Robin has appealed to his fellow Novo Ecijanos to offer prayers for the freedom of the three members of the International Committee of the Red Cross now being held captive by a bandit group in Mindanao. Under the present circumstances, Rommel said, prayers appear to be “the only potent instrument available to us to save the three Red Cross workers and the three other Filipino teachers” kidnapped by Abu Sayyap members. “Let us join together in prayer and invoke divine intervention in keeping our brothers from harm’s way,” Rommel said. The plea for prayer was aired by Padilla in support of efforts of his sibling Robin who has been invited by the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF), government and other peace-loving groups to help in the rescue of the Red Cross workers.
