Omayan and her accomplice, jeepney barker Sergio Dacallos, admitted to the abduction.

The young girl went missing around 10pm last Dec. 30 and was last seen outside their house in Barangay Ilaya in Las Pinas.

A CCTV in the area showed Omayan entering the girl’s compound and taking Bumatay.

The parents of the girl reported her missing just last Jan. 2 after searching for their daughter in the area and putting up “Missing” posters in nearby areas.

They later received a phone call from Omayan asking for a ransom of P3,000 to P5,000.

A concerned citizen who recognized Omayan from the CCTV footage that spread on social media contacted the police and led to the apprehension of the suspect and the recovery of the girl.

Police advised parents to always be alert and know where their children are at all times.
