They are continuously searching but as of the moment, we have agreed that we cannot be disclosing the details of what they are doing unless there are significant breakthroughs,\u201d she said.<br \/>\nAlso charged with two counts of kidnapping and serious illegal detention are Army Master Sergeant Rizal Hilario, Lieutenant Colonel Felipe Anotado and Staff Sergeant Edgardo Osorio.<br \/>\nHilario is still at large, while Anotado and Osorio surrendered to authorities last December 20 after a warrant of arrest was issued against them.<br \/>\nAnotado and Osorio are now detained at the Philippine Army headquarters in Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City, after they were able to convince Judge Teodora Gonzales that there were threats to their security.
