There was no prompt word on whether payoff was paid for Flor. 

Flor was stole from a resort on Samal Island in September 2015, alongside Canadians Robert Hall and John Ridsdel, and Norwegian Kjartan Sekkingstad. 

The Abu Sayyaf executed Hall and Ridsdel after no payoff was paid to save their lives. Sekkingstad is as yet being held by the fear bunch.
