Chinese embassy in Manila confirmed on Friday night that a Chinese businessman was kidnapped in southern Philippine province of Zamboanga Sibugay on Thursday night.

Upon hearing the news of abduction, Chinese consul general in Cebu rushed to the venue. The anti-kidnapping bureau of the Philippine National Police (PNP) and local police branch have confirmed the hijackee was a Chinese national, said Li Lingxiao, spokeswoman of the Chinese Embassy.

Li urged the Philippine side to take rescue operation immediately, and ensure the safety of the Chinese citizens.

Philippine security forces said military operations are underway to rescue the victim, and they will keep close contacts with the Chinese Embassy.

Earlier reports said the man, 18, was a Korean, but later verification showed that he was a Chinese.

Li was seized by four armed men with high-powered firearms at around 6 p.m. at the Kabasalan town. The suspects boarded him onto their multi-cab van and then transferred into a waiting motorized pump boat which fled to an unknown direction, said Franco Suelto, spokesman of the Army's 1st Infantry Division.

China warned on Friday its citizens not to travel to the Philippines after Li was kidnapped in the Philippines.

Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Hua Chunying said at a regular news briefing on Friday said that given that the safety situation in the Philippines is deteriorating, the consular service of the foreign ministry is asking Chinese nationals not to travel to Philippines for the time being.

The warning comes after a foiled attack by an "ultra-rightist" group at a number of public sites in Metro Manila early this month, including the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) and the Chinese Embassy, which later confirmed by Philippine police.

The thing is why would he go into southern Mindanao? Even my Filipino friends from Cebu and Bohol even warned me about going to southern Mindanao, rather encouraged me to travel around the Visayas and northern Mindanao. There are even Filipinos who don't want to visit Mindanao. Common sense should be practiced by tourists. For one's own safety!

The heaven of kidnap.

The Philippines is generally a peaceful and beautiful country, @Edison Chen . Only some areas in the southern philippines that should be carefully avoided. People like us stand out from the general population; being we are East Asian in appearance and will undoubtedly be seen as foreign tourists. So best to stay away from conflict zone.

It got flatten by politics and corruption.

The southern areas like Mindanao are dangerous, however, there are corrupt police who kidnap Chinese; the said police who only think for themselves considering that the "powers-that-be" here in the PH are mostly Tsinoys.

Can't say if I agree to it or not, considering that during my time at the Dept. of Tourism, Chinese are one of the top 3 tourist visitors... :S

they are working in Chinese-owned projects bs you philinos are not capable of such kind of job. Do you expect they earn as much as you people? without at least $1000 a month, nobody will be willing to work in a country like philippines.
