The Department of Justice (DOJ) Task Force on Anti-Terrorism
gained another court victory after the conviction of a notorious kidnapper,
sending a warning to other syndicates operating with the same type of modus
operandi.
Based from court information, Jomar Ulangkaya, along with
three other suspects identified as Saudi H. Kassan, Mohaimen Abo and Mohammad
Yusop Pasigan, who are still at-large up to this date, kidnapped a 9-year-old
child in front of their house in Cotabato province.
Incidentally, the runaway vehicle of the suspects got into
an accident.
To avoid being noticed by the locals of the area, three of
the four suspects immediately fled the area after the incident.
Ulangkaya was the one who pursued with the plan of kidnapping
the child.
Fortunately, the police were conducting operations in the
area and managed to catch up with Ulangkaya.
The encounter ended with the suspect being caught and the
victim rescued.
In a 9-page ruling, the Pasig City Regional Trial Court (RTC)
sentenced the accused Ulangkaya to suffer the penalty of reclusion perpetua and
pay the victim whose identity is withheld, a sum of Php120,000 for nominal,
moral and exemplary damages.
"This is a perfect example on how our justice system
should be, this is a warning to those who continue to oppress the weak for
selfish motives," DOJ Secretary Leila De Lima said.
"I commend the Task Force on Anti-Terrorism for this
hard-earned victory," De Lima added.
Authorities are still conducting follow-up operations for
the arrest of the other suspects who managed to escape after the incident.
