00:00Ransom money was given to the family, but the Chinese man who was hanged in Bulacan is still missing.
00:06The armed men are Chinese and have connections with the police.
00:12Jonathan Andal is on the scene.
00:18Here in Angat River, near Bustos Dam in Bulacan, the 33-year-old Chinese national was hanged.
00:24He was fishing in the river yesterday at 1 a.m. when he was caught by four armed men who recognized the law.
00:33The family is now asking for a ransom of 300,000 U.S. dollars or 17.2 million pesos.
00:40It turns out that the victim was involved in Pogo.
00:44And yesterday, there was a payment.
00:48There was a ransom of more or less 5 million.
00:52The payment was done outside of the Philippine jurisdiction through cryptocurrency.
00:59So we are now coordinating, again, this time around, the Philippine government, through our AKG,
01:06is the one coordinating with our foreign counterparts to at least trace where the ransom went.
01:12Even though a ransom was given, the kidnapped victim was still missing.
01:16Three Filipino witnesses were taken by the police.
01:19The victim, who was fishing in the river, was accompanied by his other Chinese accomplices.
01:24It seems that the Chinese accomplices who went there and asked the two armed men,
01:34they asked who owns that vehicle.
01:37The victim raised his hand, and right there and there, he was taken and left.
01:43There is no CCTV in the crime scene according to the barangay.
01:47We tried to contact the Philippine live-in partner of the victim, but he refused.
