                    [Summary] => The government is putting up P300 million in reward money for a new executive-legislative initiative to crush kidnap-for-ransom and other criminal syndicates and terrorist groups operating in the country, Speaker Jose de Venecia said yesterday.


Emerging from a closed-door breakfast meeting with congressional leaders and security officials at the National Security Council (NSC) building, De Venecia said the rewards would be given to those who expose leaders or members of kidnap-for-ransom syndicates and terrorist groups.

                    [Summary] => Malacañang sought yesterday to highlight the scoreboard in the government’s war against kidnap-for-ransom syndicates which showed that the administration’s anti-kidnapping campaign has actually reduced crime incidence.


From 100 kidnapping cases in 2001, it actually went down to just 63 cases last year, Deputy Presidential spokesman Ricardo Saludo said.


"We were able to bring this down without having to execute anyone and the key factor here is the determined effort of the law enforcement agencies to bring down kidnapping," Saludo pointed out.

"I’m not surprised," Presidential Spokesman Ignacio Bunye said when asked to comment on the move by Legarda, who is reportedly eyeing the post of vice president.


The resignation of Legarda, who held the post of Senate majority leader, is expected to trigger reorganization in the Senate leadership.
