This can’t be good.
“From 28 cases of kidnapping in 2012, a report from the Philippine National Police Anti-Kidnapping Group (PNP-AKG) disclosed that it has ballooned to 50 in 2013,” reports Aaron B. Recuenco in the Manila Bulletin.
The report noted that kindap-for-ransom cases “have been a major security headache, especially during the late 1990s and the last decade.”
The report didn’t say if the ONP-AKG would be doing anything new to deal with the situation.
It’s just as well that they don’t talk about their strategy. After all, kidnappers can read, too.
