    About all you need to go to jail here are two complainants and a non bailable offence..
    If you fail to pay the complainants and the police before they file charges you will be stuck in a hell hole on remand in the hands of the justice system for at least 3 years and a court date..
    The court case can take another 2/3 years of local lawyers raping your life savings and then you will probably be found guilty and then sentenced.
    I`d prefer a quick and kind bullet in the head to be honest.
    Forget the justice system here..It is broken.
    Filipino`s know this.
    In Manila,long before Duterte arrived ,the very last place you go for assistance for ANY matter related to being a victim of crime is a Police station.

    This is what some Philippine National Police in Angeles city ,Pampanga get up to in their spare time..

    South Korean kidnapped, murdered by Philippine police

    Seoul - A South Korean businessman who went missing in the Philippines three months ago was kidnapped by policemen and murdered on the day he disappeared, a Seoul official said on Wednesday.



    The family of the man, in his 50s and only identified with his surname Ji, reportedly sent the suspects a ransom of five million pesos ($100 000) two weeks after he was seized in Angeles, near Manila.

    But he had already been strangled to death and burned to ashes in a crematorium owned by one of the gang, a former police officer, said an official at Seoul's foreign ministry, citing the Philippine inquiry's findings.

    Eight suspects, including three current Philippine policemen, were being investigated, the official said.

    "The Philippine police told us that several police officers had been named as suspects in the kidnapping and murder," said an official at Seoul's foreign ministry.

    Crimes targeting South Korean nationals in the Philippines have often made headlines. Nearly 50 South Koreans have been killed in the country since 2012.

    “I want to melt in shame.”

    This was Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Director General Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa’s reaction to news that a Korean businessman was kidnapped and killed inside Camp Crame.

    READ: Korean businessman killed inside PNP headquarters
    Dela Rosa, who was in Malacañang for the oathtaking of PNP officials, said he was “very offended” with what happened to Hanjin executive Jee Ick Joo, who was abducted in October last year.


    One of the accused revealed that the businessman was strangled and killed inside Camp Crame by Senior Police Officer 3 (SPO3) Ricky Sta. Isabel.


    “If I have my way, papatayin ko kayong mga pulis kayo (I will kill the policemen involved). But I cannot do it,” he said.

    “I am very sorry that this crime happened and those involved are my people,” Dela Rosa said.

    The PNP chief said he will eventually explain to South Korean officials what happened.

    PNP: Enough evidence vs cop in Sokor trader’s abduction

    By: Ed Margareth Barahan, Jerome Aning - @inquirerdotnet
    Philippine Daily Inquirer / 01:12 AM January 14, 2017



    The Philippine National Police said on Friday there was enough evidence against an officer who allegedly led the abduction of a South Korean businessman, who has been missing since October last year.

    The Inquirer first reported that Jee Ick-joo, 53, was kidnapped at his home in Angeles City along with his Filipino maid by a group of men who barged into his home and announced they were conducting an antidrugs raid.

    The maid was subsequently freed, but Jee’s whereabouts remains unknown despite a payment of P5-million ransom.

    The man who led the group was later identified as SPO3 Ricky Sta. Isabel, who has been relieved from his post while the case is being investigated.

    Police have also found out that Sta. Isabel was embroiled in an earlier kidnapping case.

    He showed up at Camp Crame on Thursday to deny that he was hiding, after a fuming Director General Ronald Dela Rosa, the PNP chief, called on him to surrender or be shot on sight.

    “We have gathered many damning evidence against the suspects, and all the allegations Sta. Isabel is throwing against the PNP are wrong because truth be told, we have the goods on him—before, during, and after the incident, he won’t be able to deny it,” said Senior Supt. Glenn Dumlao, head of the PNP’s Anti-Kidnapping Group.

    “He knows he has no way out. He’s a pathological liar,” Dumlao said.

    Dela Rosa earlier ordered police to locate the hostage after he met with South Korean diplomats and Jee’s wife, even as he held out little hope of finding the victim alive.

    “That person should have been inquested right away, so that we could have prevented him getting away,” Dela Rosa said, referring to Sta. Isabel.

    “When we found out that he was involved in a previous kidnapping case involving a Chinese national, my suspicions grew,” he added.

    Sta. Isabel has denied being involved in the crime despite what Dumlao said were clear evidence pointing to his culpability—including a video clip of him using the South Korean’s ATM card to withdraw cash and a getaway vehicle that was traced to his wife.

    “Now he is saying that the police are framing him,” he said, charging that Sta. Isabel hired two lawyers to delay the case.

    He said he hoped Jee was still alive, even as he stressed he could not discuss details of the operation, which are “very intricate.”

    “A policeman is involved, so this might endanger the victim. We [hope] he’s still alive,” Dumlao said.

    Dumlao also said Sta. Isabel was not alone on the abduction of the businessman, and that they were also looking for other people who helped him carry out the crime.

    The case, first reported by the Inquirer, showed how corrupt policemen could use President Duterte’s all-out war on drugs and his vow to protect officers from prosecution as a cover to commit crime.

    Tokhang-for-ransom’ cop funded by group that wants to sabotage PNP—exec
    By: Julliane Love De Jesus - Reporter / @JLDejesusINQ
    INQUIRER.net / 03:50 PM January 18, 2017



    SPO3 Ricky Sta. Isabel, the policeman who recently surrendered to the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) after he was tagged in the kidnapping of Korean businessman Jee Ick-joo, was funded by a group trying to discredit the Philippine National Police (PNP)’s successful campaign against illegal drugs, a police official said on Wednesday.

    “He might be well-funded and we might be into a situation na may mga nagponpondo d’yan lalo na ‘yung mga kalaban natin sa droga,” Chief Supt. Albert Ignatius Ferro, chief of the PNP Anti-Illegal Drugs Group, said in a press briefing at Camp Crame.

    PNP chief Director General Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa also brought up the possibility that Sta. Isabel had a “padrino (backer).” Dela Rosa said Sta. Isabel’s protector could be one of the so-called “narco-generals” President Duterte identified.


    Dela Rosa added that Sta. Isabel’s protector was the one who worked out his assignment to AIDG last July.

    “We will exert more effort to be a saboteur-free unit because we believe these are saboteurs and we will intensify our counter-intelligence more,” Ferro said.

    Before entering the anti-narcotics unit of the PNP, Ferro said Sta. Isabel was previously assigned at the district anti-illegal drugs unit of Quezon City, Northern and Southern police.

    READ: PNP: Damning evidence against cop in kidnapping of Korean trader

    “Alam niyo naman mga scalawag na pulis so he might be part of the group kasi bakit nya gagawin ‘yon? Bakit niya sisirain ‘yung isa sa mga sinasaligan na institution ng PNP sa illegal drugs?” he said.

    (You know how scalawag police operate. He might be part of that group. Because why will he do that? Why will he disgrace the PNP, the institution he belongs to, in its fight against illegal drugs.

    Ferro also questioned the timing of the abduction of Jee, noting that during the time of the incident last October, he and other top AIDG officials were out of the country to facilitate the arrest of Kerwin Espinosa in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates.

    “Bakit mo gagawin ‘yon sa time na wala ‘yung mga commanders? Siguro may plano na siya earlier (Why will he do that when the commanders are away? He might have planned this earlier),” he said.

    Supt. Rafael Dumlao, team leader of Sta. Isabel’s group, and his two cohorts, all from the AIDG are now placed under restrictive custody within the confines of Camp Crame while they are undergoing pre-charge investigation.

    READ: Cop in kidnap of Korean gives up to NBI, not PNP

    Ferro said Sta. Isabel’s cohorts said they were duped into believing that they would conduct a drug operation before they took Jee from his home in Angeles, Pampanga last October. 18. IDL

    I was in Zamboanga Del Sur in January 2015 seeing the inlaws, and all seemed quiet enough, but South Cotobato may be another matter.

    You could give the inlaws a trip to Manila, or to a resort somewhere, perhaps?

    Can they not travel to Davao City and meet you there? If I'm not mistaken it will be a few hours(5-6 hours, depending on the traffic) travel by bus/van. Maybe if they know someone with a private car that will make their travel more comfy.

    Where in south cotabato? Gensan (you can fly directly from manila) or marbel area? I would think its safer than most areas in mindanao. Ask your wife if she is comfy of you traveling there. As long as you take necessary common sense approach to travel like travel on broad daylight and make sure you've pass 'not so safe areas' between 9am and 3 pm. Yellow bus company travels 24 hours from south cotabato to davao city and vice versa (buses are an indication of how safe travels are in most places).

    My Glaswegian fiance and i drove my mum's car through cotabato from davao last aug'16 without any issues. I wouldnt suggest it if no one is familiar with the roads or dont know the peace and order situation in certain areas but im just saying it can be done.

    As @tipipay suggested, if you are not comfortable, you can pay for a car hire for them to travel to davao (although still in mindanao but personally safest place in ph).
