On March 22, 2010, Myrna Abraham was on her way to Sanchez-Mira and was supposed to get off in Claveria but she slept in the bus that she missed her bus stop. When she woke up, it was already 6:30 PM and she was already in Cauginganan, Pamplona. She immediately got off the bus. As she alighted from bus, four men wearing white shirts with the word police grabbed her. They also shouted that they were the police to stop bystanders from helping Myrna. They then threw her into a white van. Two more men were waiting inside the van sitting in front. Then the van sped off towards the direction of Abulog.
Inside the van, Myrna struggled but was easily overpowered by her abductors. She was blindfolded and handcuffed. They travelled for about two hours. She was brought to an unknown place where she heard sounds of pigs and of airplanes taking off or flying. There her captors started interrogating her. Her main interrogator introduced himself as Raymond Wong who claimed to “belong to the Philippine Government”. Myrna replied that they have something in common since she is also from the government. She asked them what had she done. They told her she did something against the government. They were forcing her to tell her real name. They did not believe her when she told them that Myrna Cruz- Abraham is her real name and she’s from Pasig City. They insisted that she is Nel Villanueva. They would allegedly bring her home if she admitted that she is Nel Villanueva and tell them her address.
