Travel vlogger Francis Candia narrowly escapes kidney harvest attempt in Colombia

Pinoy travel vlogger Francis Candia had a terrifying experience during his recent trip to Colombia, narrowly escaping a harrowing encounter with a cartel that allegedly attempted to harvest his kidney.

According to Francis, he fell victim to a criminal syndicate in the country, and his ordeal unfolded in a rooftop bar of his hotel. He recounted meeting a local individual there, who briefly left his side to use the restroom. Upon the person’s return, Francis claims he suddenly felt ill after consuming a drink, leading to a blackout.

“Paggising ko nalang, nasa ospital na ako. May mga apparatus na ako sa dibdib, may mga swero na ako ng blood transfusion tapos sinubukan kong tumayo pero natutumba talaga ako sa sobrang hilo, tapos sabi ko sa sarili ko, ‘Hindi ‘to pwede, kasi kailangan kong lumipad pauwi,” said Francis.
