From what I read, the person was an ex-pat. It's not like a Canadian was on holidays and then kidnapped. This person was Canadian born, but for all intents and purposes was now a permanent resident of the Philippines.
Also, I don't see why we should care more about an ex-pat Canadian than the hundreds of Filipinos that are killed by this group every year and don't get reported on Calgarypuck.
Like Iggy City said, location is a big factor. Just look at the recent Paris attacks. Similar attacks occurred in Turkey just before that and there was nary a peep in the Western media.
