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.

"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.
