Two Chinese nationals were arrested Saturday in connection with the abduction of Filipino-Chinese businessman Anson Que Tan and his driver, following a swift operation at a luxury resort in Boracay.

A Philippine National Police (PNP) source confirmed to DAILY TRIBUNE that operatives from the PNP Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) apprehended the suspects at around 1:54 p.m. on Saturday inside Room 403 of Henann Park Resort, Station 2, Boracay Island.

The suspects were identified as Gong Wen Li, also known by the alias “Kelly,” and Wu Ja Ping, alias “Wu Jabing.”

According to the source, Gong was the primary ransom negotiator in the kidnapping of Que Tan, who was abducted along with his driver earlier this month.

Further details on the victim’s current status or any ransom paid were not immediately disclosed, pending ongoing investigation.

Police are now working to determine whether the suspects are part of a larger kidnapping syndicate or if others remain at large.

“The CIDG’s swift operation is part of our intensified efforts to crack down on transnational crimes and protect both local and foreign nationals in the country,” the source said.

As of this writing, formal charges are being prepared against the two suspects while authorities continue to investigate the motive, potential accomplices, and circumstances leading to the abduction.
