feat(sources): fetch linked URLs for the 252 spreadsheet-only cases
Until now only cases 357+ (plus a few older ones) had their linked URLs fetched; the other 252 dossiers held just the text pasted into the spreadsheet, often only the lede. This pass fetches every linked URL for those cases so the full text is on file before link rot takes it. - stage_all.py: new --include-sheet-cases flag that lifts the skip on cases holding spreadsheet articles. Resumable as before. - staging/: raw extracts and index.json for the 252 cases. - sourced-articles.json, case-files-manifest.json: 188 new UNTRIMMED blocks. 179 cases gained at least one fetched article; 73 got none (49 BLOCKED, 18 THIN, 9 DEAD, 4 video/social, 3 ERROR). - sources/*.txt: rebuilt with build_cases.py --all. Sheet pastes are kept; fetched blocks sit beside them under the NOT YET TRIMMED banner. Files previously committed with CRLF are now LF. - wayback-availability.json: Wayback snapshots exist for 73 of the 98 failed URL slots; input for an archive-fetch pass. - README-START-HERE.md: progress note and next step. verify_all.py PASSES (1836 checks).

SUSPECTS. The three suspects in the killing of businessman Anson Que and driver Armanie Pabillo.
|

|
||||
Here are the events that unraveled from abduction of Que and his driver to the arrest of the suspects in their killing
|
||||
|
||||
Filipino-Chinese businessman Anson Que and his driver Armanie Pabillo were kidnapped on March 29, 2025, and their remains were discovered on April 9, 2025, in a gruesome condition.
|
||||
|
||||
Three suspects were arrested in connection with the kidnapping and killing, with one suspect surrendering and confessing to the crime, while the police confirmed that the suspects were charged with kidnapping with homicide.
|
||||
|
||||
Alvin Que, the businessman's son, was initially implicated but later cleared by the PNP, although he remains a respondent in the ongoing investigation regarding his father's case.

|

The case of Filipino-Chinese businessman Anson Que has alarmed the public because of the gruesome manner that he was killed.
|
||||
|
||||
Here are the events that unraveled — from his and his driver’s abduction, to the arrest of the suspects in their killing.
|
||||
|
||||
Que, who’s into the steel business, arrives in Barangay Langka, Meycauayan, Bulacan with his driver Armanie Pabillo at around 2 pm. The two are spotted by a closed circuit television (CCTV) in the area. This is the last time they are seen alive.
|
||||
|
||||
Que and Pabillo are kidnapped by assailants in a house located in the said barangay, according to the police.
|
||||
|
||||
Que and Pabillo’s remains are discovered along Sitio Udiongan, Barangay Macabud, Rodriguez, Rizal. Their bodies are initially unidentified. Calabarzon regional police say a citizen discovered the cadavers in Rizal and reported the incident to the local police station.
|
||||
|
||||
“Initial investigation revealed that the two bodies were placed in a nylon bag, tied with nylon rope, and their faces were wrapped with duct tape, lying on the grassy roadside verge to the left of the road leading towards Brgy. Macabud proper,” says a police report.
|
||||
|
||||
Philippine National Police (PNP) spokesperson Police Brigadier General Jean Fajardo confirms that Que and Pabillo’s remains were discovered in Rizal. Calabarzon regional police also confirm the cadavers’ discovery.
|
||||
|
||||
Police arrest two of the suspects — Richardo Austria David and Raymart Catequista — in Roxas, Palawan. The two are nabbed at around 3 am.
|
||||
|
||||
Chinese David Tan Liao, the third suspect in the case, surrenders to the PNP Anti-Kidnapping Group (AKG), confessing his alleged participation in the kidnapping and killing of the two victims.
|
||||
|
||||
Fajardo says the three suspects had undergone inquest proceedings, which is an expedited type of preliminary investigation where prosecutors decide whether to charge arrested individuals or not. The PNP spokesperson adds that the three suspects were already charged with two counts of kidnapping with homicide, and are under the PNP AKG’s custody.

PNP arrests 3 suspects in kidnap-slay of Anson Que, driver
|
||||
|
||||
The PNP clears Alvin Que, the businessman’s son, in the kidnapping and killing of his father.
|
||||
|
||||
Alvin is a respondent to the complaint with the Department of Justice (DOJ) after one of the suspects claims he ordered the killing of his own father.
|
||||
|
||||
Prosecutor General Richard Fadullon says the prosecutors have yet to resolve the motion filed by the PNP to drop Alvin Que as one of the respondents in the complaint. This means Que’s son remains as one of the respondents in the complaint.
|
||||
|
||||
The PNP arrest 27-year-old Gong Wenli (also known as Kelly Tan Lim), who’s also an undesirable alien because of his insufficient documentation and his alleged threat to public safety and security.
|
||||
|
||||
Police say Gong’s alleged involvement was determined through a CCTV footage and the other suspect’s extrajudicial confessions. They also say that kidnappers allegedly demanded a $20-million ransom. The Que family paid around P200 million through cryptocurrency in several tranches.
|
||||
|
||||
Fajardo says in an interview with GMA’s DZBB that the police are looking for the remaining suspect in the Que case. Out of five, Jonin Lin is the only suspect who remains at large, says the PNP spokesperson. According to Fajardo, Lin is among the individuals who held Que and Pabillo in captivity for almost 11 days.
|
||||
|
||||
Alvin Que attends the preliminary investigation into the complaints filed in relation to his father’s killing. His lawyer, Pearlito Campanilla, says his client has submitted his sworn affidavit to the prosecutors to respond to the allegations. – Rappler.com

Chinese-Filipino tycoon’s killing sparks fears of organised crime surge in the Philippines
|
||||
|
||||
The ‘brutal’ murders of businessman Anson Que and his driver have reignited urgent calls for authorities to crack down on crime syndicates
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
The killing of a prominent ethnic Chinese businessman and his driver – whose bodies were found bound and stuffed in rice sacks by the roadside east of Manila – has reignited fears over a surge in violent kidnappings in the Philippines and the growing threat of organised crime networks.
|
||||
|
||||
Anson Que, 51, CEO of Elison Steel and a well-known figure in the Chinese-Filipino community, was abducted on March 29 along with his driver, Armanie Pabillo, in Bulacan province. Their bodies were found on Wednesday in neighbouring Rizal province, bound with nylon rope and wrapped in duct tape, showing clear signs of assault.
|
||||
|
||||
“There were signs of bruises and some body injuries and signs of strangulation,” said Brigadier General Jean Fajardo, spokesperson for the Philippine National Police (PNP), who confirmed Que’s identity on Thursday.
|
||||
|
||||
Fajardo said the PNP had removed the acting director of its Anti-Kidnapping Group, Colonel Elmer Ragay, amid mounting criticism over a lack of progress in curbing such crimes.
|
||||
|
||||
Authorities are investigating a possible link to Philippine offshore gaming operators (Pogos), which were officially banned at the start of this year due to their association with criminal activities but are believed to continue operating underground through illicit networks.
