Personnel from the Antipolo City government travelled for seven hours to La Trinidad, Benguet  to return to her family a 14-year-old girl who was reported missing more than two weeks ago. 

Mayor Jun Ynares said the teen finally returned home on Tuesday, March 19.

According to Ynares, the 14-year-old girl, identified as Savannah Denobo Sabusab, was last seen on February 24 at Sitio Cacalog, Antipolo City. She was later found in Barangay Betag, La Trinidad, Benguet, where city government personnel travelled to for seven hours.

"Isang nakadudurog ng pusong tagpo nang muling magkita at mahagkan ni Savannah ang kaniyang inang si Gina matapos ang lagpas dalawang linggong pangungulila sa isa’t-isa (A heartbreaking reunion happened between Savannah and her mother Gina, who were separated for over two weeks)," Ynares said.

"Kinuha na rin natin ang pagkakataon para kausapin ang bata. Sasailalim siya, maging ang kanyang magulang, sa iba't-ibang interventions para magabayan, matulungan, at patuloy na matututukan si Savannah (We also took the chance to talk to the child and decided that she and her mother will have to undergo different interventions to guide, help, and continuously monitor Savannah)," he added.

The mayor expressed his gratitude to the city government of La Trinidad, Benguet, especially to Municipal Social Welfare and Development Office (MSWDO) official Irene Chanfing and Barangay Betag Captain Mona Lisa Comila for their swift action in Savannah's search and recovery.

"Sa mga nag-iisip at nagtataka kung ano ang ginagawa ni Savannah sa Benguet, huwag niyo na po alamin. Sa amin na lang yun. Ang mahalaga ay ipinangako niya sa akin na hindi na niya ito uulitin. Kapalit nito, pinangako ko naman sa kanya na kapag nagtotoo siya sa kanyang mga sinabi at tinapos ang senior high school sa Antipolo National High School (ANHS), sasagutin natin ang kanyang matrikula sa kolehiyo (For those thinking as to what happened to Savannah and what she was doing in Benguet, please don't ask anymore. What's important is that she promised to never do it again, and in return, I told her that if she keeps her promise and finishes her senior high school at Antipolo National High School, the city government will fund her college education)," Ynares said.
