TWO CHINESE NATIONALS SERVED NO-BAIL WARRANTS FOR KIDNAPPING CASE
The Philippine National Police (PNP) has strengthened its campaign against kidnapping syndicates after two Chinese nationals facing three counts of Kidnapping for Ransom and Serious Illegal Detention were officially served their warrants of arrest with no bail recommended on February 4, 2026, inside the Bacoor City Custodial Facility in Cavite.
The warrants were issued by the Regional Trial Court Branch 14 in Nasugbu, Batangas, in connection with a kidnapping incident that occurred on May 2, 2025, in Barangay Balaytigui, Nasugbu, Batangas, involving multiple victims, including two Chinese nationals, one Korean national, and one Filipino.
The service of warrant was carried out at around 3:00 PM by personnel of the Bacoor City Police Station Warrant Section, in close coordination with the Anti-Kidnapping Group – Luzon Field Unit (AKG-LFU). Authorities served the warrants inside the custodial facility in accordance with court directives and proper legal procedures.
The court order, issued on the same date, covered three separate criminal case numbers and carried a no-bail recommendation.
In line with standard operating procedures, the accused were informed of the reason for their arrest and were properly apprised of their constitutional rights. They were also briefed on their protections under Republic Act 9745 or the Anti-Torture Act of 2009, in a language known to and understood by them.
The entire process was documented and video recorded using alternative recording devices, reinforcing transparency and accountability in police operations.
PNP Chief Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr. stressed that the organization remains relentless in ensuring that kidnapping suspects are made to answer before the law.
“Kidnapping is a heinous crime that destroys lives and communities. Walang puwang sa ating lipunan ang ganitong uri ng karahasan. The PNP will pursue these cases to the fullest extent of the law, regardless of nationality or status,” PGen Nartatez Jr. said.
He stressed that the PNP remains firm in ensuring that all suspects involved in serious crimes are held accountable.
“Hindi kami titigil. Once a warrant is issued, we make sure it is properly served and the suspects are made to answer before the courts. This is part of our duty to protect everyone who lives and works in our country,” he added.
The PNP reiterated its commitment to sustaining aggressive, lawful, and transparent operations against kidnapping syndicates and other organized crimes, in line with its service thrust, “Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat at Nararamdaman.”
