ILIGAN CITY, Philippines (4th UPDATE) – Marawi City priest Father Teresito "Chito" Soganub was rescued Saturday night, September 16, after he was held hostage inside the battle area for 117 days.

Chief presidential peace adviser Jesus Dureza shared the successful rescue of Soganub, along with another hostage who has yet to be named, on his Facebook page on Sunday morning, September 17.

In a phone interview with Rappler, Dureza said Soganub was rescued near Bato Mosque, one of the key enemy strongholds that fell into government control in the past days.

Dureza said he was updated by his staff at the Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process (OPAPP) based in Iligan City.

A source on the ground also confirmed the priest's rescue to Rappler. The military has yet to issue a statement.

Fighters of the Maute local terror group were forced to abandon the historic mosque Saturday afternoon as troops continue to press forward in the battle area.

The development comes as the military launched its "final push" in the Marawi battle area after penetrating what it believes to be the final defensive stand of the enemies.

"We urge the remaining terrorists, especially former hostages turned fighters, to endeavor to communicate with the military and surrender while they still have time," said Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) Chief of Staff General Eduardo Año.

Soganub was at the Saint Mary's Parish when clashes erupted on May 23. Maute fighters attacked the Catholic church and took him along with several church staff as hostages.

A week later, on May 30, he appeared in a propaganda video where he echoed the demands of the terrorists.

The military said the priest had been helping the fighters manufacture improvised explosive devices (IEDs).
