Swift police response led to the safe rescue of a kidnapped male Chinese POGO worker, 23, and arrest of six suspected kidnappers on Thursday (June 17) afternoon in Parañaque City.
PNP Chief Police Gen. Guillermo Eleazar said the successful kidnap rescue operation was launched by Tambo Sub Station personnel who took prompt action in the reported kidnapping case of the Chinese man.
Citing reports of National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) Regional Director Police Maj. Gen.

The commotion caught the attention of hotel security personnel who immediately reported the incident to Sub Station 2 of Parañaque City Police Station. Duty personnel immediately responded, resulting in the arrest of the suspects.
The six suspects who were arrested were Li Yang, Zhou Hao, Liu Jie Yong, Zhang Jia Hao, and Qui You Bo, all Chinese nationals, and Nelson Malavega, Filipino and driver of the five Chinese citizens.
The arrested suspects are now under the custody of the Parañaque City Police Station for proper investigation and filing of appropriate charges.
