kidnapped or has he done a runner with the money ?
Hmmmm???that puts a completely different slant on the story...Interesting!
That or someone has had him bumped off for the money.
I very much doubt that anyone in his right frame of mind would run away with less than 4k.Originally Posted by joebloggs

Mindanao - huge island with problem spots. One Brit kidnapped in the past one year. Portugal - safe as houses, one British girl still missing. Thailand, safe place - Welsh girl murdered and raped on beach. India, Goa, young girl drugged, raped and murdered. Newport - Vietnamese guy dragged into hospital and left for dead.
Read all that, and you will never leave your home.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but you ain't safe at home neither.....
Read all that, and you will never leave your home.
14 year old polish girl raped and murdered while waiting at home for her parents to return from job hunting.....
The Chelsea explosion was caused by some stupid berds to get at some other berd by pouring flammable liquid through the letter box.....
But India, Vietnam, Portugal etc DO NOT have govenment warnings about not to go, and insurance companies will cover you in those places, but not Mindanao. 'Normal' murders/rape/etc do take place in every country, but the risks are higher than average in Mindanao.

i think you made a mistake dom with your abacusI very much doubt that anyone in his right frame of mind would run away with less than 4k., its more than £5000, and its not me who thinks that, but his chinese business partner thinks he could have
..
as for goa, there's been a few murders there, but then again 100,000s of tourists go there every year, and how many whitey's go to the zamboanga
do the military still keep a tally of the whiteys at the airport as they land and leave ?
Although i have been to Mindanao a few times and plan to move there i still would not go to the part of the island where this guy was even if it turned out he was not kidnapped.
but makes a good excuse to get rid of somebody..I very much doubt that anyone in his right frame of mind would run away with less than 4k.
Yeah............
I didn't want to say anything in an open forum before....
But it DOES stink.......
With out commenting on this particular case.
It does show that the possible dangers of Business in Phill.
Money or the perception that you have lots of money in an area where they dont (or at least the avg person) can lead to alsorts of danger.
Anyone got any news of what happened to this guy!!
On 1st April 2008 the US Embassy give a warning that zamboanga city was no go area as they believe there was a very good chance of a kidnapping.....
He has now turned up in Manila.

well it's good to see Abu Sayyaf didn't get him
no doubt he spent all that money in the bars of Angeles City
I was wondering, whether there was any news on him.
Glad to see, he hadn't been abducted...Looks like he has some explaining to do?
glad to see that he is safe... but again why was this not on the news?
A man goes missing = nothing
a girl goes missing = world wide coverage when we all know she was killed by her parents (did i just say that?)
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
I was in Mindanao six months ago and returned to Luzon and the UK without any problems
The guy was not kidnapped he just done a runner with some money as far as i know!!
