Noemi Lagman Found Through Facebook After Missing for 4 Days

Noemi Lagman has been missing for 4 days. Thanks to Facebook and Twitter, she’s been found!

21-year-old Asia Pacific College student–Noemi Lagman–went missing last January 6, Friday, which prompted her cousin to post the following message and corresponding poster on Facebook and Twitter the next day:

“Hi, I hope you can help me find my missing cousin. Noemi Lagman (21, 4’10, mid-heavy build, morena) a student of Asia Pacific College, Magallanes left her house at Multinational Village, Paranaque yesterday (January 6) around 9am-10am to enroll carrying P33K. She was last seen at the entrance of Multinational Village near Duty Free, Paranaque. Her usual route going to school is from Multinational Village (Paranaque) to Heritage Hotel EDSA (Pasay) and to Asia Pacific College, Magallanes (Makati). Her classmates told us that she never reached school. Her mobile phone couldn’t be reached.
Please pass, please help. Thank you.”

Four days later, Noemi’s father Noel Lagman via her cousin Allan Lagman Capulong announced on the same social media site that Noemi has been found with the help of some netizens who were able to see the online poster above. They did not reveal, however, the information on how and where Noemi was found for the family’s security and privacy.

Here is the statement:
