PHILIPPINE National Police (PNP) chief Ronald de la Rosa presented to media on Thursday 41 Chinese and two Malaysians allegedly involved in the kidnapping of a Singaporean this week at a casino in Pasay City. Inquest proceedings were held at the PNP headquarters in Camp Crame against the suspects for the crime of kidnapping for ransom and serious illegal detention. Instead of bringing Wu to the City of Dreams, the suspects brought her to the Bayview International Condominium in Parañaque City where she was held hostage. Her abductors demanded $180,000 ransom money in exchange for her release. The 43 foreign nationals, according to the AKG, are part of a loan shark syndicate operating in Pasay City.
