What you wanna bet that they spend it all on dried fish, Red Horse/Tanduay and cock fights? I'd bet the preventative maintenance on their boats are about as good as it is on local trikes and jeepneys. Absolutely no forward thinking and they probably only do these kidnappings when they are strapped for cash and are running out of food....on top of that they have to give the bulk of the cash to the guy in charge.

 

DIPOLOG CITY, Philippines – An Italian businessman, former missionary priest Rolando del Torchio, was reportedly kidnapped by unidentified men about 7 pm on Wednesday, October 7, at his pizza restaurant inside the Andres Bonifacio College compound here.

Dapitan Police Chief Divin Ceriales confirmed the kidnapping incident. He said he received an urgent call from Senior Inspector Romer Lim, chief of the Zamboanga del Norte Police Provincial Office (ZNPPO) Intelligence Division, informing him that the former priest had just been kidnapped.

“I also received a call from Dipolog City Police Office informing me about it, and I immediately put the Dapitan City police force in full alert considering that Dapitan could be used as the kidnappers’ escape route,” Ceriales told Rappler.
