GUNMEN seized a Chinese-Filipino trader late yesterday in the southern Philippines, police said today.

The victim, Yuloyu Lim Yu, 56, owner of Yuking Guan Hardware, was kidnapped by six armed men around 9:00 pm in front of a hotel along Governor Gutierrez Avenue in the southern city of Cotabato, regional police spokesman Chief Inspector Alexis Yap told Xinhua by telephone today.

"He (Yu) was forcibly dragged to a waiting getaway vehicle that caught the attention of security guard of hotel. The security guard initially engaged with the kidnappers but they sped off," Yap said.

Responding government security forces recovered the kidnappers' vehicle, with license plate number PN NXY 153, after it crashed to an electric post not far from where they took the victim.
