QUEZON City, Philippines – President Benigno S. Aquino III extended his apology to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau regarding the fate of the two Canadian hostages at the hands of the Abu Sayyaf Group. At the same time, President Aquino extended his thanks to Trudeau in respecting the Philippine government’s “no ransom” policy.
