Student Security Risks
The Philippine Star
|July 21, 2025
In February this year, a 14-year-old Chinese student in the British School Manila was kidnapped and his Filipino driver killed.
-
A video sent to the boy's parents showed his little finger being cut off. He was abandoned days later in Parañaque, with speculative reports pointing to the payment of ransom.
This case can be a basis for the July 18 warning of China's Ministry of Education to its students to "carefully assess security risks" and "strengthen safety awareness" if they are planning to study in the Philippines.
The warning, however, must mention that of the 22 suspects tagged by police in the gruesome crime, four of the ringleaders are Chinese citizens.
Chinese nationals were also named as the principal suspects in the March 29 kidnapping of Chinese-Filipino steel tycoon Anson Que and his driver Armanie Pabillo, who were found dead in Rodriguez, Rizal on April 9.
