                    [Summary] => COTABATO CITY (AFP) — A schoolboy kidnapped by gunmen in Maguindanao was reunited with his parents yesterday after a local mayor tricked the suspects into believing their ransom demand would be met. 


The 11-year-old boy was seized by three armed men who barged into his classroom in Parang town last June 23, overpowering teachers and school staff who tried to stop them. 


The kidnappers demanded a ransom of between P5 million and P10 million and threatened to harm the boy if his parents did not pay.
