Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, we have some late breaking news from the province of Quirino in the Philippines. We go now to our Eyewitness News reporter, Don Gonzales. Don, what can you tell us about this missing tribe?
Don: Well, right now, there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of details, Frank. But, it seems as if a whole village has disappeared from the Quirino province. A United States aid agency that makes regular visits to the area has brought back reports from this remote mountain region that one of the villages they visit every other month appears to have been deserted. For right now, they have ruled out the possibility that this could be terrorist related. The closest reports of any terrorist activity have been sixty to seventy-five miles away from this remote village. The village was found to be intact and no signs of a struggle were found anywhere. The only clue that the aid agency found was a newly well-worn path that looked like the whole tribe just got up and wandered deeper into the jungle. Authorities here are sending in a team of investigators but the unofficial word from a government spokesman said that these remote tribes preferred to live quiet and peaceable lives. The prevailing thought is that they just decided to pick up and move. We'll keep you posted as this story unfolds. Back to you Frank.
Announcer: Thanks, Don. Turning to events a little closer to home............
