                    [Summary] => The family of kidnap victim 17-year-old Welvin Tai paid P1.25 million in ransom and an undetermined amount of jewelry, sources close to the family told The STAR yesterday.


Agents of the crack Police Anti-Crime Emergency Response (PACER) have refused to give details on the progress on the case. They said the victim’s family has refused to cooperate.


But sources close to the family, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said ransom negotiations were held shortly after the abduction at the Coastal Road in Parañaque City Thursday morning.

A similar probe is going on in the military, Ebdane added.
