PNP: No abduction of students in Iloilo
Iloilo City—[…] “There is no truth to reports about a
group of men abducting Iloilo schoolchildren, harvesting the latter’s internal
organs, and selling these to clients in Metro Manila,” said Police Lieutenant
Colonel Joem Malong, spokesperson of Police Regional Office 6 (PRO-6). […] One
particular text message even attributed the message to the police station of
San Jose, the provincial capital of Antique province. The text purportedly
claimed that a white van with plate number VXM-351 and a green van with plate
number XMM-507 were used to abduct children and young teenage girls. […]

“A Poisonous Kiss.” Marengo Republican-News, Marengo, Illinois, 6 Nov 1885. “A little
girl in Watertown, N.Y., dying of scarlet fever, wished to send a kiss by
letter to a former little playmate residing in another part of the State. She
kissed the letter and had it sent. The little girl who received the letter very
naturally kissed it also, on reading the message. From that kiss she caught the
fever and also died.”
