A 14-year-old student survived an apparent kidnapping attempt after her classmate made a scene at an amusement center inside a mall, GMA News' “24-Oras” reported on Thursday.

The incident was caught by the establishment's closed-circuit television camera.

According to the student, a middle aged man and woman approached her at the arcade and introduced themselves as her relatives.

The suspects acted as if they were quite familiar with her and invited her to come with them to exchange some dollars for local currency so she could buy credits for the arcade. They said it was what her grandmother wanted.

But the victim got suspicious when the suspects couldn't say who her grandmother was.

The suspects then started forcing the student to come with them, prompting her classmate to say in a loud voice: “Hindi nga namin po kayo kilala.”

The suspects left hurriedly but added that they would be be back.

The student's father said he would pursue charges against the suspects. —Andrei Medina/NB, GMA News

Good job for the classmate! That is what I always tell my kids, shout their lungs out "Kidnapper! Help! Kinikidnap ako!" Problema ko lang yung 2nd girl, iyakin kasi. Pag umiyak na wala na totally defenseless.

Mapapansin na rin ng mga tao sa paligid if may umiiyak na bata.

not really. ang style kasi ng kidnapper kunwari pinapagalitan yung bata, tipong "uwi na tayo! kanina ka pa hinahanap ng nanay mo dyan ka lang pala nagpunta! ect ect!" so paano mapapansin na kinikidnap yung bata kung tipong umiiyak kasi kinakaladkad habang pinagagalitan?

^ Yup feeling close na yang mga yan. Sa panahon ngayon di mo nga naman papakielaman yung nangyayari sa iba, unless agaw eksena na.

Pinapayagan ko pa naman dalaga ko mag mall kasama classmates nya. Now she will have hard time convincing me na payagan sya.

ampota pag sakin nangyari yan at na witness ko baka hindi ko alam magawa ko baka hindi na maka labas ng mall na buhay ang kidnaper na yon.. kaya pag nasa mga arcade kahit mapagot ako kakasunod sa mga bata ok lang basta I will make sure they are safe.
