Teresita Ang-See, founding chairman of the Movement for Restoration of Peace and Order, said a total of 40 kidnap-for-ransom incidents were recorded nationwide from January to March this year or half the figure reported in 2008.

“This is already half of the total kidnapping incidents reported last year,” Ang-See told the weekly Kapihan sa Manila media forum. She blamed the economic crisis for the surge in kidnap-for-ransom cases.

She said most of the kidnap victims were businessmen. Of the 40 kidnap victims between January and March, Indians, Koreans, and Chinese comprised two each. An Italian, a Pakistani and a Sri Lankan were also among the victims.

Ang-See said that in the last two years, her group noted a decline in the number of kidnap-for-ransom incidents. In 2006, a total of 43 kidnap-for-ransom incidents were reported, she said.

“In the last two years, kidnap for ransom groups laid low, but now they are hungry again,” Ang-See said.
