Another abduction in Jolo
Rudi Kurniawan was exhausted. The helmsman had already spent the day lugging the Roby 152 barge on his tugboat, the Charles 001. That sweltering morning on June 20, the clock showed 11am Philippines time. While occasionally checking his coordinates, Rudi deftly navigated through the waterway.
Tired and sleepy, he was surprised to see two strange boats approach the Charles. Speaking to Tempo at Balikpapan's Semayang Port on June 25, Rudi said the incident occurred in the waters of Jolo, a region in southern Philippines. The two were returning to Indonesia after having left Cagayan de Oro Port, Mindanao on June 18.
