0:43Now PlayingElliot Onil Eastman, a 26-year-old American resident from Vermont, was reportedly abducted in the southern Philippines' Sibuco town on October 18, 2024. Eastman was shot in the leg while resisting a group of four gunmen, posing as police officers and armed with M16 rifles, who then took him away in a speedboat. The suspects fled south towards the provinces of Basilan or Sulu, eluding pursuing police forces. The incident highlights persistent security issues in the region, known for historical insurgencies and ransom kidnappings. The U.S. Embassy in Manila is coordinating with local authorities, though no ransom demands have been reported yet. Eastman, who had recently married a local woman in Sibuco, has been living there for about five months.
