I just receive this email now and I can't stop myself but share this to you. I'm not sure if this is true, I hope anyone here who happened to have experience or heard about this will share for everybody's information, for if this is true, this is really very alarming and scary. [b][i]Kidnapping is rampant nowadays. Kidnappers usually asked ransom money from the parents of their victims. But lately, I was disturbed of the news about the kidnap victims whose internal organs were missing after they were found. In Ibaan, Batangas four children were abducted. One of them was found with the pair of eyes missing and with Php 30,000 pesos on his/her mouth. Three were found with missing internal organs. There was also report in Tanauan, Batangas with a missing heart and Php 8,000 pesos on the hole of the victim's chest. It's really creepy. Lately, there have been reports that the kidnappings is not only happening in Batangas. There were also similar incidents in Cavite and Laguna. Last Wednesday, March 5, my friend told me that there was a third year high school student (from a school in San Pedro, Laguna) was abducted on her way home. I still haven't heard about what happened to the victim. I heard that a syndicate is behind this kidnapping and they are selling the organs to the black market. Text messages and email messages has been circulating saying that a white van with plate no. VMM 507 is said to be the kidnappers van. In our place the cartographic sketch of the kidnapper and the plate no. of the vehicle used by the kidnapper were posted everywhere. Residents in our area in Laguna were already afraid. Students going to school were now accompanied by their parents and yayas. It has been reported that the kidnappers where luring children going to and from school. Our school management even released a letter to parents to watch for their children when going to school and while playing. [/i][/b]

Hello Long, this is really scary! I have seen on tv about some Filipinos who donated their internal organs to some foreign countries. For me, this is acceptable but this kinda news is really horrible! Being kidnapped and payed! I remember during my elementary days, there was also this kinda "kidnapping" issue. That the kidnappers were using black Van with plate number "666"..lol.. You know, I used to live in San Pedro, Laguna before. It's a peaceful and quite city, I don;t know now anymore 'coz that was 10 years ago..lol.. Well, I hope that this kinda kidnapping-paying issue will be over soon. It's really scary. Take care!

Yes May I also heard about Filipinos who sell their internal organs, at least their organs will be taken from them through right medical procedure so they will not die. But this kidnapping thing is too different, because they will kill those kids. I really hope that news is not ture.

I also wonder why kids or children. Maybe they just want to scare parents or kids themselves. Very bad!

Oh yes, Long, I've heard about this. It happened just this March before the school ends. I even got a text message that the syndicate that has been doing this will take all 16 years old and below on a certain date. Of course, everyone here panicked. The text message originated from one of the members of that syndicate which had felt guilty of what they have been doing. Of course, the police denies this, coz they can't find a way of how to track this criminals. But I attest to this. An 8 year old was found in Tagaytay City, which I live near, 1st week of March without his 2 eyes and his internal organs. When they looked at the stomach part, they found a Php 20,000. And I've seen photos of children who was abducted in a website, which I already forgot. And this really alarmed us. And there was this news also that a man dressed as a nun, who is the culprit of this. Authorities said that these news came up at the middle of ZTE scandal to withdraw the attention of the Filipinos on that scandal. But with what we've witnessed, this news are probably true.

Oh my God. So this is really true? does the person who told you about this 8 year old girl really a reliable one? If the intention is to deviate the attention of the people away from ZTE scandal, who would be the true culprit of this one? Who plan this?

That was the news going around before school ends. The authorities investigated the matter and found no one matches the plate number as reported by LTO. That was really scary if true but the police assured the entire citizenry that its just a hoax. Hoax or not, we still have to be careful with our children and loved ones.

OMG,. i thought this only happens on movies. what kind of people are they? i've also had a news watched but i think that was years ago. maybe they thought that money is much bigger when they sell internal organs. or so they would just likely want to kill the brutal way. honestly, people like this are to be arrested! such innocents are in danger if these people are still living. tsk` tsk`. ~pInX~

Yes, I have also heard about internal organs and eyes being taken away, but that was not in India, but Latin America. I don't know whether it is all true, or just a story that is going around the Internet!
