My pamangkin, Kuya Ken’s son Matthew, where we took the other half of
the business namesake was abducted last night at Festival Mall in
Alabang.

Name: Matthew” Chu-chu” David
Samudio
Age: 3 Years Old, Can barely speak straight.
Address: 16 guyabano st umali rd. summitville subdivision putatan
muntinlupa city 1770

He
was last seen at Tom’s World Arcade in Festival Mall Alabang, around
8pm yesterday July 22, 2008 wearing Green Checkered Polo, Maong pants
and Green Mr. Bean Slippers.

When we reviewed the surveillance
camera in said mall, there was this chubby impoverished looking girl
around 12-13 years old wearing a dirtied pink top with floral design
and a reddish jogging pants who summoned my nephew and then whispered
something to him, then my pamangkin who is very “bibo” readily took
her
hand as they went out of the said premises.

Guys, I need your
help with this, if you know people in the media, police or government
agency who might be able to HELP us locate my nephew, I’m begging you,
please, please help us. Or at the very least, please pass this
message
to as many people as possible, who knows where the abductors might have
taken him… Matthew is a very sickly kid, he rarely eats unless his
yaya feeds him and he was about to have an operation for fluid in his
right testis.

If there are any news or lead that can locate my
nephew, please help us… Sobrang kawawa ang pamangkin ko, who knows
how they are treating him…I dont want this thing happening to any kid
so please help my nephew. PLEASE. You can contact my brother at
0923-638-4632.
