Camp BGen Rafael T Crame, Quezon City — The Philippine National Police Anti-Kidnapping Group (PNP AKG) successfully rescued three kidnapped victims and arrested three suspects believed to be involved in separate but related kidnapping incidents through sustained investigation, intelligence development, and close coordination with stakeholders, foreign counterparts, and other law enforcement agencies.Upon receiving information regarding the alleged abduction of a female Chinese national on September 17, 2026, the PNP AKG immediately initiated intelligence and investigative efforts. Continuous information gathering, case backtracking, and validation, in coordination with partner agencies, led to the identification of individuals and locations allegedly linked to the kidnapping.The victim was successfully rescued during an operation in Makati City on September 25, 2026, resulting in the arrest of one female suspect. Further intelligence development and information sharing led to another operation in Parañaque City on September 27, 2026, resulting in the rescue of two additional victims and the apprehension of two Filipino male suspects.Appropriate complaints for Kidnapping for Ransom and Serious Illegal Detention, among other applicable offenses, were subsequently filed before the Department of Justice (DOJ) through inquest proceedings.”These successful operations highlight the sustained efforts of the PNP AKG in addressing kidnapping incidents through continuous investigation, intelligence development, and coordinated law enforcement action. Our harmonious and collaborative relationship with stakeholders, international counterparts, and partner agencies facilitates timely information sharing and coordinated action, which are vital in ensuring the safe recovery of victims and the apprehension of those responsible,” said PBGEN EDWIN C BALLES, Director, AKG.
