Kidnappinig in Philippines

For all of you considering Cebu Pac job or just flying into Philippines consider this...

On Thursday Aug.25 my 2.5 yrs old daughter and my sister in law were kidnapped at Manila airport (NAIA) as they were about to go on a flight to HKG to meet me as I was coming from ICN to HKG. After 4 days of nightmare and paying 50,000 USD ransom we got them free....You can not imagine what me and my wife went through in those days... so here is the reminder to all my fellow pilots about Philippines and as BBC calls it now "Kidnapping for ransom is so common here that the Philippines has often been described as the kidnapping capital of the world."...
Can not happen to you? Yeah...that's what I thought too...
