MANILA, Philippines — An Indonesian man, who was allegedly kidnapped in Makati, has been rescued in Silang, Cavite.

The victim, a 28-year-old worker in a Philippine offshore gaming operator firm, escaped from his captors and was found in front of a church in Barangay Malabag, police said.

The victim told police that unidentified men handcuffed and blindfolded him on May 4.
