PNP NASAGIP ANG NAWAWALANG 14-ANYOS NA TSINO SA PARAÑAQUE

Sa isang mabilis at maingat na operasyon, matagumpay na natunton at nasagip ng Philippine National Police Anti-Kidnapping Group (PNP-AKG), katuwang ang Armed Forces of the Philippines at National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO), ang nawawalang 14-anyos na Chinese national na natagpuan sa Macapagal Avenue, Parañaque City noong gabi ng Pebrero 25, 2025.

Agad na naibalik ang menor de edad sa kanyang ama at dinala sa pinakamalapit na hospital para sa medical examination upang matiyak ang kanyang kalagayan.

Pinuri ni PNP Chief, Police General Rommel Francisco Marbil, ang mabilis at epektibong aksyon ng mga operatiba, na patunay ng dedikasyon ng PNP sa seguridad at kapayapaan.

"Ang pagsagip na ito ay patunay ng ating matibay na paninindigan sa proteksyon ng lahat ng mamamayan sa ating bansa. Hindi natin hahayaang mamayani ang takot sa ating mga komunidad," pahayag ni PGen. Marbil.

Binigyang-diin din ng mga awtoridad na walang ransom na ibinayad sa insidenteng ito, na nagpapakita ng matatag na paninindigan ng PNP laban sa anumang uri ng pananamantala at ilegal na gawain.

Dagdag pa ni PGen. Marbil, “Patuloy nating paiigtingin ang ating intelligence-gathering at operasyon upang maiwasan ang ganitong mga insidente. Ang kaligtasan ng lahat—Pilipino man o dayuhan—ang ating pangunahing prayoridad.”

Ang matagumpay na operasyong ito ay alinsunod sa mas pinaigting na kampanya ng pamahalaan sa ilalim ng pamumuno ni Pangulong Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. upang mapanatili ang kapayapaan at kaayusan sa buong bansa.

Patuloy ang imbestigasyon upang malaman ang buong detalye ng insidente at matukoy ang mga nasa likod nito. Hinihikayat ng PNP ang publiko na manatiling mapagmatyag at agad iulat sa mga awtoridad ang anumang kahina-hinalang aktibidad.
