What the record says
Philippine police said businessman Anson Que and his driver Armanie Pabillo were last seen leaving Que’s Valenzuela office on 29 March 2025. A ransom demand reached the family the following day. Their bodies were found in Rodriguez on 9 April; investigators linked their captivity to a house in Meycauayan. Government news reporting later described cryptocurrency ransom payments and partial freezing of funds. Police announced arrests and criminal complaints, but those developments do not establish convictions. This case concerns both the businessman and his driver; the latter should not disappear from the account.
Outcomes, kept separate
People
Both victims died; bodies found on 9 April 2025.
Assets / reported demand
PNA reported PHP200 million paid in crypto and USD205,000 frozen as of 19 May 2025. Frozen funds are not confirmed restitution.
Investigation / legal status
April–May 2025 reports describe arrests and kidnapping-for-ransom-with-homicide complaints. June 2026 reporting still describes suspects and linked investigations; no final judgment located.
What remains unsettled
The ransom figures are police/media-reported, not an independent loss audit. Initial demand, amount paid and amount frozen are separate figures.
