RP arrests 10 Indonesians<\/p>\n
PHILIPPINES: Ten Indonesians, including seven teenagers, were
\narrested for illegally entering the Philippines through the
\nsouthern "back door," police said on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Maritime police intercepted the fishing boat Norhada 4.5
\nnautical miles off southern Sarangani province's Glan town,
\npolice Chief Superintendent Ricardo Dapat said.<\/p>\n
The men, all from Kechematan Patani, Indonesia, claimed they
\nwere hired by Filipino boat owner Nilo Noro - a resident of the
\nsouthern Philippines' General Santos city - for fishing at high
\nseas near Indonesia.<\/p>\n
The Indonesians failed to present pertinent work papers, so
\nthey were turned over to the Bureau of Immigration for further
\ninvestigation, police said.<\/p>\n
Hundreds of boats shuttle between eastern Indonesia's North
\nSulawesi province to nearby Mindanao island in the southern
\nPhilippines, where tens of thousands of Indonesian migrants have
\nsettled in coastal villages and small islands, often going back
\nand forth across the sea border to trade wares. -- AP<\/p>",
