    • Thérèse Bourgoine is a French national who is a volunteer humanitarian-social worker with a nongovernment organization on the island of Palawan in the Philippines. While transporting supplies to the organization base in Puerto Princesa (the capital of Palawan), she and her fellow volunteer, Filipina Soledad Carpio, are unwittingly kidnapped by an extremist group of Muslim men fighting for the independence of Muslim Mindanao, the "Abu Sayyaf Group" (ASG).
