[Title] => Thanks to daily servings of tea, Tarongoy able to count the days
[Summary] => DAVAO CITY — It was the accountant in him.
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.

[Title] => Tarongoy returns home to Davao City
[Summary] => DAVAO CITY — Former Iraqi captive Robert Tarongoy finally came home to Davao City Sunday evening to the waiting arms of his three sisters and other relatives who welcomed him at the VIP Lounge of the Davao International Airport, with a bag of Chippy chips and Maxx menthol candy, said to be his favorite munch.

[Title] => Can oil and politics meet?
[Summary] => In previous columns, I have shared my own insights on current political issues that have gripped the nation, leading some readers to conclude that Commonness is fast becoming a political commentary.

[Title] => Survivor
[Summary] => We rejoice with the Tarongoy family. After eight tortured months, the life of Bobby was saved.
Through that long period of captivity in the hands of Iraqi bandits, Bobby was blindfolded and bound. He was fed only scarcely and beaten up more regularly.
His survival was a feat of human endurance. His recovery was a feat of incredible patience on the part of the high-level team organized by government to secure his safety.
Let’s not count the cost of public funds expended to recover this man. The life of a Filipino is priceless.
