Ransom rejected

THE Philippine government rejected a US$2 million ransom demanded by the kidnappers of an ailing Irish priest in the country's south and said yesterday that efforts would continue to safely secure his freedom.

The video sparked hope among his fellow missionaries after rumors about his death in captivity.
