The Ransom Seekers

Mila, a fourteen-year old doctor’s daughter, together with her three minor adopted brothers, Ace, Jack and Mel, left their residence situated in one of the posh villages in Metro Manila bound for a sectarian school in the adjoining city where she was a second-year high school student one early morning in November, 2001.

Two of the men went to Herman’s side, while the other two positioned themselves at the right side of the van near Aris.

The two men at Herman’s side, one of whom was identified as Jose, aimed and poked their guns at the vehicle’s window and demanded for Herman open the door of the van. When the doors opened, the two men standing at the opposite side of the van aimed their guns at Aris, pulled him outside, pushed him to face a nearby wall with his hands up, and frisked his body. Herman was forced to surrender the keys to the men who used the same to open the van’s sliding door and compelled Mila to step down
