.
Matthew David Samudio, the three-year-old boy who was reportedly abducted inside a video arcade at a mall in Alabang, Muntinlupa City, was reunited with his family Thursday.

A security guard found the boy walking around the Sta. Rosa Commercial Complex in Sta. Rosa, Laguna.

He was seen with the same girl who tagged him at the Festival Mall last Tuesday.

Jonathan Estema said when he and other security guards accosted the two, the girl ran away and left Samudio.

This is definitely good news and a lot to thank God for. And it was a security guard who found him.

HELP sought to locate abducted 3-year old boy, Matthew David Samudio

Remember that 3-year old boy who has been reported by most local TV news to have been abducted last Monday at the Fiesta Mall in Alabang? His aunt, Melka, who incidentally is one of my girls’ business contacts, has sought the help of everyone to locate him, through her blog Matthew&Melka,

Name: Matthew” Chu-chu” David Samudio
Age: 3 Years Old, Can barely speak straight.
Address: 16 Guyabano St., Umali Rd., Summitville Subdivision, Putatan Muntinlupa City 1770

Last seen: Tom’s World Arcade in Festival Mall Alabang, around 8pm on July 22, 2008 wearing Green Checkered Polo, Maong pants and Green Mr. Bean Slippers

Melka says of her nephew’s case:

.

When we reviewed the surveillance camera in said mall, there was this chubby impoverished looking girl around 12-13 years old wearing a dirtied pink top with floral design and a reddish jogging pants who summoned my nephew and then whispered something to him, then my pamangkin who is very “bibo” readily took her hand as they went out of the said premises.

Guys, I need your help with this, if you know people in the media, police or government agency who might be able to HELP us locate my nephew, I’m begging you, please, please help us. Or at the very least, please pass this message to as many people as possible, who knows where the abductors might have taken him… Matthew is a very sickly kid, he rarely eats unless his yaya feeds him and he was about to have an operation for fluid in his right testis.

If there are any news or lead that can locate my nephew, please help us.. Sobrang kawawa ang pamangkin ko, who knows how they are treating him…I dont want this thing happening to any kid so please help my nephew. PLEASE. You can contact my brother at 0923-638-4632.

Thank you so much and God Bless you!

Blogging can help. Spread the word around, please. Spread the pictures.

Small Editorial: With the current tight economic situation that our country is in, it will be no surprise if the crime rate would noticeably increase by the day. Anyone can be a victim.

Can we put back our faith in our government authorities? Will we be another Gotham City—so confused now, with a Joker in our midst? or a lot of Jokers in our midst? holding on to the “superhero” image of even a dark knight, or better still, a local knight in shining armour—who, then? All we can do as citizens is to be more vigilant. Beware! the enemy might be lurking to your left, to your right, everywhere.

To whom can we hold on tight, and put our faith in, except our God?

In tonight’s news some saw the boy begging in the streets. The police are also looking at another angle that the natural mother may have stolen back the 3 year old . Apparently, the boy was adopted at 2 months old. The plot thickens. Kawawa naman the boy. Baka he thinks it’s a game.

I hope that this boy will return home safely. I’m not going to scare anyone or the parents but most of the kids reported missing here, in my country, are often nowhere to be found. I pity the parents.

I hope somehow, he will be found. Everyone is praying for his safety, I’m sure.
