PNP offers PHP5M reward for info on Que kidnapping suspect Kelly Tan Lim

The Philippine National Police (PNP) has offered a PHP5 million reward for information leading to the arrest of Wenli Gong, also known as Kelly Tan Lim, who is suspected in the kidnapping and killing of Filipino-Chinese steel magnate Anson Que and his driver Armanie Pabillo.

Brig. Gen. Jean Fajardo, PNP spokesperson, revealed that two arrested suspects identified Kelly Tan Lim as the person who negotiated with Que's family using the victim's phone and used as bait to lure them.

Fajardo also stated that the reward aims to locate and apprehend Kelly Tan Lim to extract more information about the case; the reward was offered by a concerned citizen.

David Tan Liao, a Chinese national involved in the crime, surrendered on April 19 but his claim that Que's son Ronxian Gou or Alvin Aue was involved lacks corroborating evidence and has been met with skepticism from groups like the Movement for Restoration of Peace and Order (MRPO).

Alvin Que is cooperating with the Anti-Kidnapping Group and has provided his cell phone for forensic analysis; he acted as the family negotiator during the kidnapping.

The PNP is tracing the ransom money trail, including an alleged PHP200 million demand, to identify other possible suspects involved in the case.
