Will GMA give in to save Angelito?

Here's the demands of the Taliban group holding Angelito Nayan hostage:

The hostages' governments will "witness the death of their nationals in three days" unless four demands are met, said Mullah Mohammad Ishaq, spokesman for the Jaishul Muslimeen (Army of Muslims), a breakaway Taliban group.

"We have four demands," Ishaq told AFP by phone.

"First, we want the UN to leave Afghanistan and we want them to condemn the attacks and invasion of Afghanistan by foreign forces," he said.

"Second, we want all those Afghans who have been arrested in Afghanistan and held in foreign prisons to be released immediately.

"Number three, we want Britain and Kosovo to withdraw their forces immediately from Afghanistan or to witness the deaths of their nationals in three days.

"And fourth, we want the Philippines to condemn the invasion of foreign forces in Afghanistan and to announce it as illegal."

"We announce a three-day deadline."

I hope GMA doesn't again give in to these terrorists, but you never know. Many thought she would stand firm and never waver in her commitment to Iraq. Pero anong nangyari, bumigay rin siya sa mga terrorista na kumupkop kay Angelo dela Cruz, di ba?

Since what the Taliban group's demand for the RP is "doable", the danger I see is for Arroyo to once again be forced to do something unwise and go for short-term political gains just to prop up her sagging popularity here at home.

Like in Iraq, she also tried to send a "crisis management team" to help negotiate for the release of Mr. Nayan, but the move was rejected by UN officials.
