The victims reportedly arrived in the Philippines in late June to seek business opportunities but were kidnapped and killed days later. The case came to the public eye on Jul 2 when the Chinese embassy in the Philippines released a statement.
She highlighted that the Anti-Kidnapping Group requested not to divulge too much details. The victims’ families and the Chinese embassy have also requested a discreet investigation “as much as possible”, Ms Fajardo added. At some point, the family of the abducted Chinese national appealed for assistance, prompting the Chinese embassy to intervene through diplomatic channels to ask for a swift rescue.
There have been recent cases of Chinese nationals being kidnapped in the Philippines. Most such cases have been reportedly related to illegal gambling, as well as telecom and internet fraud.
