INTRODUCTION
The aim of this research is to conduct the capacity of the students of their self-
protection against abduction and the awareness of the students to this crime. The researchers
conduct this research to know how students must protect themselves against abduction. And
this study helps the students to determine the abilities and awareness that can be full fill their
self-protection practices.
This study will be conducting at Metro Dagupan Colleges in Serafica Street Mangaldan,
Pangasinan. The researchers chosen this school not for the convenient of the researchers
where they study, besides the population of the school are kids and teenagers.
According to Black's Law Dictionary, in the terminology of the common law in many
jurisdictions, the crime of kidnapping is labeled abduction when the victim is a woman. In
modern usage, kidnapping or abduction of a child is often called child stealing, particularly
when done not to collect a ransom, but rather with the intention of keeping the child
permanently (often in a case where the child's parents are divorced or legally separated,
whereupon the parent who does not have legal custody will commit the act; then also known
as "child napping").
According to Peirce (1998: 216), abduction is “the only logical operation which
introduces any new idea; for induction does nothing but determine a value, and deduction
there had been 56 kidnapping incidents in the country in the last 10 days. PNP spokesperson
Col. Jean Fajardo, in a press briefing in Camp Crame on Wednesday, said they only recorded 27
kidnapping cases in the country since January, which is only less than half of the figure claimed
by the Philippine Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCCI). "For this year, they (AKG
officials) recorded 27 and many of these cases are POGO (Philippine Offshore Gaming
Operations)-related," Fajardo said. She added that the PCCCI has not shown any proof to
support its claim of the total 27 cases, Fajardo said 11 have been already "solved", meaning the
charges were already filed and the suspects were already arrested; four are considered
"cleared" or charges were already filed but the suspects are still at-large; while the remaining
12 are still under investigation of the said resolved cases, seven are related to POGOs, three are
the traditional kidnap for ransom and one is casino related. She said these cases are usually due
to the failure of the victims to pay their debt, thus they were abducted by fellow POGO workers
to force them to pay. Fajardo said officials of the PNP Anti-Kidnapping Task Force met with
PCCCI officials on Tuesday to clarify the matter. During the meeting, Fajardo said PCCCI officials
failed to substantiate their claim about the 56 kidnapping cases. "They said someone reported
to them these incidents," said Fajardo. "The PCCCI was enlightened that there are no 56
kidnapping cases for the last 10 days. When the PNP-AKG (Anti-Kidnapping Group) showed the
data, they (PCCCI officials) were enlightened that for 2022, the record is 27 kidnapping cases,"
Fajardo said. The PCCCI revealed the information about the 56 kidnapping cases during a press
conference at the House of Representatives last Tuesday. PCCCI president Lugene Ang told
members of the House of Representatives and the PNP that based on their records, the said
number of kidnappings have been reported, which in turn, alarmed the Filipino-Chinese
This study will benefit to the students of Metro Dagupan Colleges by expanding their
knowledge about self-defense to fight for their safety. This will be use as a guide to prevent the
abduction because they were be aware to this crime and they will learn different slef-defense
or self-protection.
