Philippines Kidnap-for-ransom on the rise













KIDNAP-for-ransom (KFR) cases have been on the rise again since last year wherein most of the victims were Chinese-Filipino, or Tsinoy, businessmen in southern Mindanao but the incidents do not appear on the crime statistics of the Philippine National Police (PNP).
