DAVAO City–A 16-year-old is among the 52 fishermen repatriated from Indonesia who arrived here Tuesday morning. Robert Gordo didn't expect to be in the group of arrested fishermen, mostly from Gen. Santos, when he hopped on a boat at the peak of summer. Without his knowledge, that fishing boat, among the five that sailed together as a group, treaded in dangerous waters. What he expected to be just a joy ride that would return to shore on the same day dragged on to two weeks. The men in the boats celebrated good catches: 29 tuna specimens that's worth about P90,000. It wasn't until May 3—four days before the boats were supposed to travel back to Sarangani shores—that the nautical merriment came to a halt. Gordo said their boats crossed paths with the Indonesian coast guards and were eventually apprehended. They were made to transfer boats and were stripped naked for inspection. On May 5, Gordo said that they were taken to a navy base in Bitung, Indonesia. They were allegedly subjected to various harassments. This included the confiscation of their catch and being fed fish that already had foul odor. The teenager narrated that they were made to do push-ups and several cleaning tasks regularly when they were detained. Gordo said he witnessed how his friend was mauled because of a confiscated mobile phone. Throughout this ordeal that he never expected to be involved in, Gordo confessed he was afraid that he might be hurt by the authorities.
