The Kidnappers ensured Gao Huayun and Dayawan were well fed during their two months in captivity on Jolo island in the Phillippnes, and even gave Gao Huayun "special food" from town on her birthday on April 8, 2014.
The gunmen also allowed Gao to call her family in Shanghai and Dayawan had to translate the conversation to the gunmen.

Dayawan was working at the Singamata Reef Resort near Semporna, where Gao Huayun was staying as a tourist on April 2, 2014, when five gunmen abducted them and spirited them to Jolo island using high-powered speedboats.

While in captivity at the gunmen's mountainous hideout, Dayawan served as Gao's caretaker, attending to her needs. The gunmen did not harm them in any way, but they were constantly guarded by two armed men.

Gao and Dayawan survived almost two months of captivity in the mountainous jungle hideout of Jolo island in the southern Philippines.
The two women were eventually released on May 30, 2014 to Malaysian security officials. Malaysian and Philippines officials have both said no ransom was paid for the women's release.

singamata在仙本那的一個珊瑚礁上,四排木屋,拍的角度好,有馬爾代夫的感覺,是想住卡帕萊有沒有那麼多預算的窮遊er的首選。可是,出於我的良心,我要對大家說,為了自身生命安全,換個潛校吧
