in the Philippines managed to escape and return to Taiwan earlier this week after being kept prisoner for two weeks.
Identified only by his family name of Chen (陳), the 20-year-old apparently also had his passport and other personal belongings, including a cellphone and identity card, stolen by his girlfriend, according to Taiwan’s representative office in the Philippines.
In the evening of Dec. 20, Chen broke out of his room when his girlfriend was out of the house, and immediately tried to contact the office from a nearby Internet café, using his only remaining pocket change.
Meanwhile, he also managed to call his family back home so that they could alert local authorities of his plight. [FULL STORY]
