MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Six Chinese nationals and a Filipino were arrested for kidnapping their compatriot in Para\u00f1aque City, the Philippine National Police-Anti-Kidnapping Group (PNP-AKG) reported on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The suspects were identified as Gao Tong Tong, Tian Yu, Liang Kai, Cheng Yong Qing, Zhang Bo Xu, and Wang Xuan while their Filipino accomplice was identified as Edgar Ortiz.<\/p>\n

In a report, the PNP-AKG said the suspects were arrested in an operation in coordination with local police and the National Capital Region Police Office along Roxas Boulevard at around 11:50 p.m. Monday.<\/p>\n

The rescued victim was identified as Le Chen.<\/p>\n

The operation stemmed for the complaint of the victim’s live-in partner Mariel Mirabel who said the kidnappers demanded PHP84,000 for his safe release.<\/p>\n

Seized from the suspects were cellphones, laptop computers and other pieces of evidence.<\/p>\n

They are now under the custody of the PNP-AKG and will face appropriate charges in court.<\/p>\n

Earlier on Monday, the PNP-AKG’s Luzon field unit also responded to another alleged kidnapping case and safely rescued a Chinese victim named Den Lingyi at a company named ‘Dexin 999’ in Pasay City. No suspect was arrested in the operation.<\/p>\n

On July 12, Den applied online with the company as Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator (POGO) worker.<\/p>\n

But on July 16, he was fetched by an unknown Chinese man for an interview and brought him somewhere in Barangay Tambo, Para\u00f1aque City, for employment.<\/p>\n

However, the victim’s live-in partner received a message from him saying he was forced to work in an online gambling company.<\/p>\n

The victim said the contract between them was “spurious” and illegal and the suspects detained him against his will and demanded money for his release.<\/p>\n

He also claimed that the suspects would sell him to another company if he fails to produce the ransom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
