                    [Title] => Duterte to field more lawmen to fight crime
                    [Summary] => DAVAO CITY — About 700 more policemen will be fielded in the city as part of Mayor Rodrigo Duterte’s campaign against criminality and illegal drugs.


This, as Duterte vows to make the city the country’s most peaceful city within the year.


Besides employing more police personnel, he plans to equip them with better communications and more patrol cars.


The additional lawmen, he said, will be deployed in the downtown area and in the more populated barangays where criminals elements have reportedly thrived.

                    [Summary] => DAVAO CITY — Police are still hunting down the cohorts of the kidnappers of a 10-year-old Cebu City student, five of whom were arrested at the airport here during a bungled ransom payoff last week.


The victim, Ryan James Yu, son of a wealthy Cebuano businessman, was found abandoned in a house for rent in a Cebu City subdivision. 


Authorities said Yu’s abduction was apparently a test case of the syndicate which had a group which seized and kept the boy in Cebu City and another group here which negotiated the ransom.
