Abstract

All seven of them come from the northern Luzon province of the Philippines, but until they met at the Manila office of Cristie Fernandez, the main recruiting agent in the country for Taiwanese longliners, they had not known one another. Jerson Hipol and Ronel Agtang each have a bachelor’s degree in Marine Transport, while Teodulo Aban holds a degree in Marine Engineering, apart from having done a year’s apprenticeship at sea. Rufino Pinacate and Alfredo Ramos have a diploma in electronics and automobile engineering respectively. The remaining two, Arthur Umalos and Domingo Soliva, however, were farm hands.
