ILOILO City – Five men in a blue van allegedly attempted to abduct two sisters yesterday morning in Barangay Bakhawan, Concepcion, Iloilo.
According to Chief Inspector Abner Jordan, Concepcion police chief, the sisters were 11 and nine years old. One was a Grade 6 pupil while the other was in Grade 4, both at Bakhawan Elementary School.
Around 11:30 a.m. they were walking home when a blue van stopped and five men inside told them, “Sakay kamo di,” the girls’ parents told the police.
“The two sisters ran as fast as they could and alerted their parents,” said Jordan.
The police chief advised parents it would be better if they fetch their children from school.
He also urged children not to talk to strangers.
“It’s also better for the children to walk in groups,” Jordan added.
The Concepcion police set up checkpoints after the girls’ parents reported the matter. But cops failed to catch the van./PN
