PNP: Criminals lurk on social networking sites

THE Philippine National Police (PNP) warned the public against sharing personal information on social networking sites, which could jeopardize their privacy and security.

Senior Superintendent Rene Aspera, PNP- Anti-Kidnapping Group (AKG) chief of staff, said kidnapping syndicates have turned to social networking sites such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter in scouting for would-be victims.

"We have received some kidnapping cases in which we learned that the suspects learned about their victim through Facebook," he said.

Aspera urged the netizens to avoid posting photos or status messages showing their lavish lifestyle, wealth and material possessions, which can entice the criminals to haunt them.

"You should not expose what you have so they won't be interested in you and monitor you," the official said.

Aspera said there were already five Facebook-related kidnap cases that were monitored and the PNP is taking note of the new tactic.

He urged the public to set their social media accounts to private to limit the people who view their posts if the posting of unnecessary display of wealth and material possessions cannot be avoided.

For 2014, the PNP-AKG recorded 43 kidnap-for-ransom cases in Luzon and Mindanao. Twenty-four cases were considered solved.

However, it said that most cases involve Abu Sayyaf Group.

Eight kidnapping groups are now on the target list of the AKG. Three leaders of these groups were already arrested including Reccinte Padillo, Tyrone dela Cruz, and Martin Lico.

U.S. attracting fewer educated, highly skilled migrants, report says

The U.S. economy has long been powered in part by the nation's ability to attract the world's most educated and skilled people to its shores.

But a new study of the worldwide migration of professionals to the U.S. shows a sharp drop-off in its proportional share of those workers -- raising the question of whether the nation will remain competitive in attracting top talent in an increasingly globalized economy.

The study, which used a novel method of tracking people through data from the social media site LinkedIn, is believed to be the first to monitor global migrations of professionals to the U.S., said co-author Emilio Zagheni, a University of Washington assistant professor of sociology and fellow of the UW eScience Institute. "This is the first time a worldwide data set has been used to answer this question," he said. "That hasn't been done before."

The study, which was presented at the recent SocInfo conference in Barcelona, Spain, found that:

While 27 percent of migrating professionals among the sample group chose the U.S. as a destination in 2000, in 2012 just 13 percent did.

The decline was seen across professionals with bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees.

The biggest drop was among those in the science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields, from 37 to 15 percent.

Asian countries saw the highest increase in professional migrants worldwide, attracting a cumulative 26 percent in 2012, compared with just 10 percent in 2000.

Australia, Oceania, Africa and Latin America also saw an uptick in their share of the world's professional migration flows.

The U.S. attracted 24 percent of graduates from the top 500 universities worldwide in 2000, but just 12 percent in 2012.
