Summary: In 2011, Kevin and his mother Gerfa returned to Philippine from the United States where they now living in. They were kidnapped during bad time by local terrorist organization, Abu Sayyaf.

Kevin had been a hostage almost five months since he was kidnapped, one day there were only one guard, and he made a good use of chance to escape from those theorists. He did it, and was back to reunite with his family. They celebrate Christmas and never forget this dangerous experience.
Reflection: This one is really thrilling, it remind me that accident can be happened in any place and any time. We have to be clever in making decision when we under a dangerous situation. And I also thought about how I would do if I were Kevin. I would make the same decision as him too. Because there were half chance that he maybe killed during the kidnap, so why not bet that another chance to run to the free world. I am so glad that in the end it was a happy ending. I believed that Kevin and his mom will never forget this terrifying experience.
