Onli in Bohol

Kapait sa kinabuhing marino nga usahay wala maamgohi sa ilang mga kapamilya ug mga kabanay

SAN FRANCISCOâ€"Media coverage of the Costa Concordia tragedy has been focused mainly on the clueless captain accused of having a romantic dinner as his ship was sinking and then abandoning his crew and passengers to save himself.

Fortunately, however, the spotlight has also turned to the doomed ship’s Filipino crew members.

When calamity struck in the middle of the night, the Filipinos were disciplined and calm. Most important of all, they thought of the welfare of the most defenseless people caught in the disasterâ€"the passengers, especially  children.

“It felt like the Titanic as we were rescuing the passengers,” ship steward Eugen Pusyo told the Manila Bulletin. “We just threw some of children into lifeboats just so they would be saved.”

A French passenger quoted in media reports recalled how the people who helped them “were cooks and stewardesses, all Filipinos. They roped themselves together to help us get down to the lifeboats.”

Who wouldn’t be moved by these accounts of bravery and selflessness?

It reminded me of another maritime tragedy in which the portrait of the Filipino as courageous, humane seafarers also came into sharp focus.

The so-called Maersk Dubai incident was recalled in a stirring January 1997 article in the New Yorker by Scott Malcomson.
In 1996, a group of Filipino merchant seamen on the Maersk Dubai, a Taiwanese cargo ship, found themselves in a bind.
When one of them, Rodolfo Miguel, discovered two Romanian stowaways in the ship which was headed for Port of Halifax in Canada, he did his duty: he reported the incident to his Taiwanese superiors.

To the shock of the Filipino seamen, the officers put the Romanians in an improvised raft and threw them out of the ship to certain death. Miguel and his fellow Filipinos were stunned.

Then came an unexpected twist in an already horrifying situation.

While Miguel was walking on the deck of the ship one day, another Romanian, Nicolae Pasca, suddenly approached him. Looking weak from days of hiding without food, Pasca wanted to surrender to the Filipino. In the Romanian’s hand was a Bible.
Knowing that Pasca was in danger, Miguel quickly guided the Romanian to a new hiding place.

Though they could not understand one another, Miguel struggled to tell the Romanian that he should consider the Filipinos his allies, the New Yorker piece related. “Filipino, no problema.”

He then pointed to a verse in the Bible the Romanian had with him. The verse was Psalm 91 part of which goes: “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.”

“Read this every time when you sleep,” Miguel told the Romanian, according to the New Yorker account.
Miguel then secretly rallied his fellow Filipinos.

They were not able to protect the two other Romanian stowaways, and many of them had struggled with guilt and helplessness because of what happened.

But now they were going to do everything they could to protect another Romanian stowaway.
It could mean losing their jobs, and maybe even their lives â€" but it was the right thing to do. They were not going to let another human being die!

They came up with a code for the Romanian, according to the New Yorker account. They called him “ibon”  â€" bird. And they would ask whoever was assigned to bring food to their secret friend, “O pinakain mo na ba ‘yong ibon?” (Have you fed the bird)?
When the ship finally reached Halifax, the Filipinos jumped ship and reported the incident to authorities. The Romanian survived. The ship’s Taiwanese officers were arrested. (They were later extradited to Taiwan, according to Wikipedia.)

During a hearing in Canada, according to the New Yorker, Miguel struggled in broken English to declare in the courtroom, “I’m not here to lie. I’m here to stand and to stop the things that happened.”

But he and the other Filipinos struggled with the consequences of saving the Romanian’s life. According to the New Yorker, their families reported receiving threatening anonymous phone calls warning that the stranded Filipino seamen should not testify in the case.

Miguel’s wife reported to the police that two men tried to abduct her, the New Yorker said. Miguel himself told Malcomson how, as he remembered the families of the Romanians and their own families, he felt that “we are in a trap, between the families of the living and the families of the dead.”

It’s a tragic, yet inspiring, story of courage and human decency â€" one that should be remembered as we honor yet another group of professional, honorable and humane seafarers from the Philippines.

It is made of beef's foot and tripe that she mixed together with chorizo de bilbao , chick pees, tomatoes, pepper and potatoes.

Bitaw pod no? What made Christ say: "I came to throw fire on the earth. I wish it were already kindled. But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished! Do you think that I have come to give peace in the earth? I tell you, no, but rather division. For from now on, there will be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three. They will be divided, father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against her mother; mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law."

niadtong nawad an kog trabaho nagapply pod ko para abroad pero way swerte kay wa ko dawata mao ra ba jud unta kadto ang akong line of work kay all around man ko basta mechanical. wa pod masayod si mrs. nga nagapply ko maong pagkahibaw nasuko nako kay dili kuno siya buot nga magkalayo ming duha total duha ra man pod among anak. so ningdawat na lang ko ug mga trabaho diri sa atoa nga mga odd jobs. pero kay kinahanglan man lagi nga modako ang kita aron makahuman ang mga bata nagtukod na lang ko ug carenderia. sa kalooy sa Ginoo nakahuman ang mga bata ug nakapundar pod ug gamay. naay mga tawo nga maayo kung naas abroad naa pod tawo nga maayog anhi na lang siguro sigun ra na sa swerte. pero ang akong paminaw mas maayo unta to ug nahinayon ko kay ang among silingan daghan na ug mga apartment ug nakatukod ug negosyo nga mga delivery trucks nga dagko kaayo ug kita.

Tinuod jud nang sulti nimo VRGLgwaps... tan-awa ehemplo ni Bolanon Kaaju maski nag-inato ra sa atoag luto2x successful man iyang kinabuhi ug pagpa eskwela sa iyang mga bata. Karon pwede na siya mo abroad, dili para mag trabaho kondili para mag lingaw2x og suroy2x, kana, kung feeling niya nga maoy buhaton.
