DAVAO CITY — Former Iraq hostage Roberto Tarongoy has recovered well more than a year after his harrowing eight-month ordeal in the hands of Iraqi militants.


"So far, I have not suffered any nightmares or trauma. I have kept my faith in God that He would help me get back to a normal life after the abduction," he told The STAR.


He and his wife, Ivy Grace, have ventured into a small business of selling motorcycle parts in the northern part of the city.

Even if he was blindfolded throughout his more than seven months of captivity in the hands of Iraqi militants, Robert Tarongoy managed to count the days. Thanks to his captors’ daily servings of shai, the local tea.


"Every day, without fail, they made me drink a cup of that tea," he recalled during a small thanksgiving gathering at the family residence of his wife, Ivy Grace, at Panorama Homes here last Friday night.
