MANILA, Philippines (AP) — For more than 100 days, Catholic priest Teresito Soganub’s life was threatened by every airstrike, gunshot and artillery bombardment that targeted his Islamic State group-aligned captors in the southern Philippines.
When Soganub, 51, began talking Monday about his captivity following his rescue by Philippine troops in Marawi city, there were no bitter condemnations. He spoke of how Muslims and Christians should live in peaceful coexistence.
“I still believe in an interfaith relationship, that we can be united as Muslims and Christians, that we’re not enemies,” Suganob said on board an air force plane that brought him to Manila.
