Second and third rounds on the dossier pipeline, reviewed locally before commit. Retrieval - wayback_pass.py: retries every BLOCKED/DEAD/THIN/ERROR linked source through the Wayback Machine; blocks carry the snapshot date, archive URL and the live verdict. 143 slots retried: 93 fetched, 37 no snapshot, 12 script shells, 1 PDF. - fetch_sources.py: fetch_wayback() helper. - add_extra_sources.py: files staged extra_* finds (web search, not on the DB record) into the store with a provenance note. - Cases re-sourced by web search: 248 (Oslo: Document.no, Avisa Oslo, NRK; the linked Le Parisien piece is case 242 and is marked OFF-CASE), 258 Kharkiv, 260 Singapore, 358 Bangkok, 365 Las Vegas, 388 Verneuil-sur-Seine, 390 Zoersel, 430 Homestead. 341 of 364 cases now hold a fetched article; 11, 66 and 399 have no public text source (podcast, police video, direct victim report). Trimming - auto_trim.py: case-anchored furniture cut for UNTRIMMED blocks. Finds the body run that mentions the case, merges across subheadings and short furniture gaps, drops teasers, share bars, date/URL/caption lines and subscription pitches; refuses pages with no record term or almost no body. 302 blocks trimmed; 16 left on auto-trim-review.md (7 OFF-CASE suspects). Every cut is labelled AUTO-TRIMMED, UNREVIEWED in the dossier; the full extract stays in staging/. Decisions with anchors in trim-decisions-auto.json. - build_cases.py / verify_all.py: banners for auto-trimmed and archived blocks, staged-file check extended to Wayback blocks, flag legend under the record. Detention rule - README "Definitions": the DB field `kidnappings` is the DETENTION violence type (victim, guard, staff or relative held to force submission or execute the theft), distinct from the Kidnapping scenario (taken away and held). - detention-flag-review.md / detention-flag-corrections.json: 40 records reviewed with evidence; 30 set-to-1 proposals accepted by the owner on 2026-09-06 (listed in corrections-approved.md), 10 still open. - apply_detention_wording.py: "Violence Used" in the 70 reviewed summaries now names detention explicitly (62 of 70 labelled), supported by the summary's own text; idempotent; supersedes the batch scripts' wording. Worklist and docs - sofia-worklist.md: 248 decisions, detention rule item replacing the old "no abduction" item, fresh-search section for the textless cases. - README-START-HERE.md: progress notes, run commands, next steps. - Bug fixed in passing: Wayback blocks stored in-memory text with carriage returns; now stored as read back from disk. verify_all.py PASSES (2321 checks).

Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Nicolas Torre III on Monday confirmed a kidnapping incident in Parañaque City involving Chinese nationals.
|
||
|
||
In a press briefing, Torre said a 30-year-old Chinese national was rescued from a resort-casino in Parañaque on Aug. 2 after being abducted by four fellow Chinese nationals who had initially offered to help him send money to China.
|
||
|
||
The victim had asked the suspects to assist in remitting PHP 150,000 for his mother’s medical treatment. He had already handed over PHP 100,000 and later agreed to meet them at the resort to complete the transaction.
|
||
|
||
While in transit, the suspects allegedly handcuffed, blindfolded, and threatened the victim with a firearm. They demanded USD 50,000 (approximately PHP 2.8 million) for his release.
|
||
|
||
The victim was able to convince the suspects to return his phone, which he used to contact another Chinese national, who then called 911.
|
||
|
||
Parañaque City police, in coordination with the PNP Anti-Kidnapping Group, conducted the rescue operation.
|
||
|
||
Upon arrival, police found five individuals with the victim. One of them, a woman, was later identified as another victim.
|
||
|
||
She told police that she had known one of the suspects and had gone to the resort the same day to exchange money. Her cash was taken, and she was prevented from leaving.
