Taiwanese couple escapes from lair of kidnappers
By AARON B. RECUENCO, Tempo
A Taiwanese couple, abducted upon arrival in Manila last Sunday, escaped from their kidnappers yesterday morning in a beach resort in Cabangan, Zambales.
The news of the escape of couple Liu Kiuo-Shi and Liu Hoduan Chin scared the hell out of suspect Dante Perdigon, prompting him to surrender to the Botolon Municipal Police Station a few hours later.
It was Perdigon who squealed to the local authorities the names of his other cohorts-Bert Tupaz and a certain Darwin-as well as a certain Andy Din, a Taiwanese who allegedly masterminded the abduction.
Perdigon told the investigators that it was Din and Darwin who fetched the couple upon their arrival at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) on Sunday night.
The couple were then taken to the suspects' safehouse in Iba, Zambales where they were kept for two days while Din was negotiating for an P80 million ransom from the victim's family.
It was not clear how the couple slipped past their guards but Senior Superintendent Edgardo Ladao, Zambales Police Provincial Office (PPO) director, said the escape happened at 6:30 a.m. or a few hours after they were transferred to the Galinato Beach in Falmida-Diaz village in Iba town.
"The three kidnappers (Tupaz, Darwin and Perdigon) immediately left the place aboard a van, afterwhich Tupaz and Darwin boarded a Victory Liner Bus towards Manila," said Ladao.
