This incident is a serious breach of public trust and core values of the police force.

One Malaysian and three Chinese tourists were kidnapped by rogue police officers in the Philippine capital region over the weekend for a ransom of 2.5 million pesos (about USD 42,700).

Two of the Chinese victims managed to escape and alerted the authorities, police said. The remaining victims were beaten but later released overnight following the ransom payment, Interior Secretary Benhur Abalos said.

“I was shocked that policemen were the ones involved,” Abalos said in a news conference. Criminal complaints for kidnapping, carjacking, and robbery have been filed against the suspects.
