Italin priest Rev. Giancarlo Bossi, who was kidnapped from the village of Bulawa last June 10 on his way to celebrate mass, has been released by his abductors around 9 p.m. Thursday in Karumatan township, in Lanao Del Norte province near the boundary with Lanao Del Sur province.

The Italian priest was brought to Malacañang after he arrived in Manila to meet up with President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. The meeting between Bossi and Mrs. Arroyo was held in a private room at Malacañang Palace in Manila.
