Robert Tarongoy returns home
by Aleli Aggasid-Batara
Laoag City (24 June 2005) -- The arrival of Robert Tarongoy in the country today is a welcome respite from all the problems and confusion.
After seven months of being adducted by Iraqi militants Tarongoy came home to the warm embrace of his family and countrymen.
Kudus is due the crisis team of the Philippine Government for staying the course and exhausting all diplomatic channels to bring home the striving accountant who only wanted to help his family by working abroad.
The government has denied paying $1.4 million in ransom saying it was their negotiation efforts that ensured the safe return of Tarongoy.
With this development the Department of Foreign Affrairs has stressed once again the work ban in Iraq.
The DFA has reiterated that the primary consideration in deploying Overseas Filipino Workers is their safety in their work environment.
