PNP vows security for Filipino-Chinese community after Anson Que's killing

The Philippine National Police (PNP) said Friday that they will set up measures to secure the Filipino-Chinese community following the abduction and death of businessman Anson Que.

In a statement, the PNP said it had a meeting with the Federation of Filipino-Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry, Inc. (FFCCCII) to discuss its concerns after deaths and reported kidnappings of Chinese nationals.

“We understand the urgency and gravity of these cases. The Philippine National Police is fully committed to resolving them swiftly and restoring confidence in public safety,” PNP chief Police General Rommel Marbil said.

“We are deeply concerned, and we will not rest until these cases are solved. We are mobilizing all investigative assets and leveraging every capability to ensure these incidents do not recur,” he added.

The PNP and FFCCCII have agreed to establish a collaborative program focused on proactive measures to detect potential threats.

This includes enhancing coordination with local police units, strengthening surveillance efforts in key business hubs, and providing safety briefings to member companies and communities.

The PNP also allayed concerns over “perceived lawlessness” and its effect on the image of the Philippines among foreign investors and visitors.

Marbil pointed out that the country is still safe for business and travel, and that the PNP remains vigilant and responsive to any threat to peace and order.

The bodies of Que and his driver were found on a roadside in Rodriguez, Rizal on Wednesday.

“The two bodies were placed in a nylon bag, tied with nylon rope, and their faces were wrapped with duct tape,” PRO 4A public information office chief Police Lieutenant Colonel Chitadel Gaoiran said. — Joviland Rita/RSJ, GMA Integrated News
