3 Chinese arrested in Cavite for kidnapping fellow Chinese

CAVITE, Philippines – Three Chinese men were arrested in Barangay Molino 4, Bacoor, Cavite, on Thursday night, January 5, for allegedly abducting a female data analyst who is also Chinese. 

Police Lieutenant Colonel Ruther Saquilayan, chief of the Bacoor police, identified the suspects as: 

• Huang Jun, 31 
• Huang Chen Bo, 24
• Chang Yu Pen, 22

The suspects lived in Molino, where they had also kept their victim since December 5. 

They were found in possession of high-caliber weapons during the joint rescue operation by the Bacoor City Police Office, the Cavite Provincial Intelligence Unit, and the Anti- Kidnapping Group under Police Colonel Frederick Eslava Obar. 

The 28-year-old victim, whom the police referred to by the alias Lady Wu, is a data analyst and a resident of Neijiang City in Sichuan, China. She told the police that she came to the Philippines because the suspects promised her a job and a salary of P150,000. When she arrived, however, the suspects kidnapped her.

Two Filipinos went to inform the police on Thursday afternoon that a woman who appeared to have been held against her will had been brought to Shore Residences Tower C2 in Pasay City, and then was pulled out again by her companions. 

The suspects were arrested at around 10:30 pm Thursday in the Molino house they were renting. 

The police recovered the following from the suspects: 

• 1 white Foton Van with plate number LAC 5364
