Netizen's revelation:
In the Philippines, being a kidnapper is a job with low risk and high returns, so naturally, there will be more and more kidnappers now!!
As a former kidnapper in the Philippines, I want to tell everyone why there are so many kidnappers. I have already returned to my country and cleaned up my act, so it doesn't matter to talk about the inside story.
Actually, 99% of the Chinese kidnappers in the Philippines used to work in gambling companies.
But later, many people (including myself) got addicted to gambling, and some to drugs. Once you get hooked on these things, it's hard to lead a normal life again, and you don't want to work anymore. So what do you do? You can only kidnap fellow countrymen.
The previous exposures about kidnappings on the streets are true. We often drove Toyota Coasters to look for lone Chinese people, especially at night.
Some people might wonder, aren't you afraid of getting caught? Why do you dare to kidnap openly?
Because most kidnapping gangs have already found a protector in the jurisdiction when they were established. We usually only kidnap within our own territory, and even if we get caught, we can spend some money to get out. And you're facing unarmed Chinese people, there's almost no risk (I did more than 50 jobs in the Philippines, and only once did someone in our gang get stabbed with a knife, most of the time it was not difficult). So you see, being a kidnapper in the Philippines is a job with low risk and high returns, so naturally, there will be more and more kidnappers now.
Besides those who got into kidnapping because of gambling and drug addictions, especially this year, it has become increasingly difficult to make money, which is also a major reason why many people join the kidnapping circle.
What I know is that many who previously worked in HR have also started kidnapping recently because they have more resources and connections, making it easier to lure victims. There are also some car repair shop owners who lure customers.
I returned to my country to quit gambling! I did kidnappings also to get money for gambling!! (Luckily, I didn't get addicted to drugs) I don't want to continue in this vicious circle, I know that one day I might end up dead on the streets.
