It seems People now a days are risking everything out of desperation.
Must say, this guy had balls, or probably he couldn't straight anymore with all his financial problems. but somehow the report with ABS-CBN wasn't satisfying to me, besides being broke or unable to pay the house that was loaned, there's gotta be a bigger problem than that.
He took the risk and even went into the Network Building himself, trace down Sarah's dad, pretend to be something and try to kidnap her dad with a use of a taser.
the CCTV inside ABS caught up on everything. i feel sad for this guy knowing he has a family, not to mention the media went circus on him. but justice must be serve.
reminds not to loan if I can't pay for it. well, am still lucky enough to be single, at least being lonely is the only thing i can worried about.....
if you have a family you have to do everything..

Hello p3ks626,
they can't kidnap sarah like that because she has family with her all the time. too bad for the kidnapper, getting a person who is same size as he is.

ABS Cbn should be thankful that his attempt on trying to kidnap Sarah's dad is a failure because it save them from humiliation. When this news first aired, I saw in some of the other artist/reporter's interview that the security in ABS CBN is OA (like super checked or something) but why did one guy was able to enter in the place.
I had a feeling that he had an accomplice.
But I am glad that he will have to go to jail because if the Geronimos' forgave him and let him go, there would a 90% chance that he will target another celebrity.

I would rather have my pity on Sarah Geronimo's father. The guy who attempted to kidnap Mr. Geronimo doesn't deserve sympathy.
The act alone of kidnapping is a serious offense.
Besides, he caused too much tension and stress on the family of the victim.

Hi LK,
It's good that nothing bad happened to him and it was responded on immediately. People are really so desperate to earn in whatever ways they can. This is really alarming and hope we can be spared from this kind of attempts and situation.

Hello Ms.francisco,
well, it happened "inside" the compound so help wasn't that far away i think. poverty is still increasing and some of those who used to be in the middle is experiencing this kind of problem too. reminds me to get a job before we came into this situation.

It's really sad news but I think these guys were some kind of syndicate. They have the choice to have money by clean job. They were big guys who can do more rather than doing something illegal and wrong. But sadly they choose the wrong path, there is really no good in doing bad things even if you have the good intention.

Hello laniekins,
NO, if he was member of a syndicate, they wouldn't go after Sarah's dad. only dumb criminal like him would do something like that. i don't know the whole story but it seems that clean job won't be enough to a house that has been loaned to them, because they're about to vacate it because they couldn't pay for it anymore.

i have heard about this.. it seems that the supposed kidnapper was just doing this because their house is about to be taken away from them already - they used to be living well, they had a nice house... and the kids does not seem to know what they are going through... its just sad that he thought of doing this for the sake of the money he is supposed to get.. what was he even thinking? it was not bound to succeed in the first place! no way in the world he would be getting out of the parking area unnoticed. that place is full of cameras!

Well it is sad indeed to see this things happening. But it does happen and many crimes are done out of desperation. But the thing is, crime has been committed and justice must be serve no matter who you are. The sad thing is that, this will become s sensational case considering that what is involve is a father of a singer actress and obviously is popular.... I feel sorry for the guy but he has to answer for the crime that he committed.

Hello Jpso,
I am sure the kids are very much affected by this. my heart broke down when i heard the kid begging for his dad not to be imprisoned as he cry. the children wasn't aware by this. remind myself not to go into desperation act when my time like this comes, it's just too much.

blaming his family on his crookedness is unfair.when any of us decided to do evil its not for our families no matter what we may claim, its for our own darned selves. Attempted kidnapping is a very serious charge and I
fore one do not feel sorry for him. Sarah Geroninmo seems to be very prettyand also very talented.I looked her up on our blasted search engine
that has yet to pay me a reward.

Hello hatley,
She's a very popular singer, but their family too went into financial struggle. only this time that she was able to make it to stardome and had stable job. as for the family, am sure they can move on after what has happened and be very careful with dealing with people.

Hello ip5217,
it's not a joke when you try to kidnap some one. the worst for him is that he failed th attempt and the cops where also in the compound. but that's not the end of it, am sure there will be more criminals who would try the things that he did. the network should tighten their security.

It is scary and we should also be aware of the people that we see are not always good to us. Perhaps the management should implement a stricter security for the live of so many people not just artists are in danger. The law offender should be punished.

Hello Jules,
that's the dilemna of having a child as a singer and an artist. any one can pretend and then go after you. it's very sad though, am sure the family was traumatized knowing such actually happened to them. who would expect inside the compound itself. @Andyvil (793)

Financial problem is never a reason for doing heinous crimes. He is not the only one suffering financially. A lot of people are suffering and those people who commit crime because of their problems are just taking the easy way out. I've seen a lot of people who are struggling in life but are still doing the right thing and living honestly.

Hello Andy,
But sometimes when things are desperate and they couldn't get it the legal way or they simply didn't know how, things get ugly, and this is one of them. some even robbed just to have capital for their business. but i agree a lot of people are suffering financially, which is hard now a days.

Only lowlives will resort to very serious crimes like kidnapping...But he was such a loser he thinks he can just go inside the compound and abduct a person without being seen by security guards and policemen. So now he is in much deeper doodoo.
I nominate him in for an American show called World's Dumbest Criminals.

Hello ash,
he should have try for a small house, and then start thrifting, probably he has poor financial management or something that led to so many loans. from there, he became confuse of what to do to solve his problems. my brother pays 100 dollar apartment, and that doesn't make him do those things.

Hello nobody4me,
yes, it's a crime and there's no exception to it. how can some one like him be a crook like that. i believe it would have been better if he just think of other ways to solve his financial problems than just to kidnap for ransom some one. and not to mention it's a guy that he did it, of course, the guy fights back.
