hi! this post is not to create hate. just need to get things off my chest.

it takes a lot of patience and strategy para makisama onboard. being a first time officer (at only female onboard), sinusubukan ko with all my mighty best na hindi pumatol sa kahit sino mang kupal, mapa-senior officer man 'yan o ratings.

hindi ko fully ma-comprehend bakit may mga taong straight up assholes lang talaga? NO OFFENSE pero insecurity ba pinagmumulan 'nun? na kaya rin ng babae makipagsabayan sa industry na 'to? hindi man fully capable physically dahil biologically, mas malakas naman talaga ang mga lalaki mostly.

honestly, depsite the openness/inclusivity sa panahong ito, nag-sstruggle pa rin ang minority ng industriyang ito. na para bang kailangan patunayan ang sarili para makakuha ng respeto?

'di rin naman ako magugulat kasi kahit nga lalaki sa lalaki nagkukupalan din onboard. ratings na kupal sa kapwa ratings, ratings na kupal sa opsiyal, opisyal na kupal sa opisyal, opisyal na kupal sa ratings, kupal na kupal lang talaga kasi kupal siya! ibang anggulo lang talaga pag babae ka. pag masyado kang nakikisama, gagawan ka ng issue pero kapag medyo strikto at kaya mo ipaglaban ang sarili mo, gagawin kang maldita! hahah..

sa lahat ng kupal, magbago na kayo! hindi ikinataas ng ranggo at sweldo niyo 'yang ugali niyong bugok. 😄

Good Day Sirs! Gaano po kayo katagal nag antay ng line-up? Nasa cadetship program po kasi ako and currently OIC-NW na po. Deck Officer Trainee po ang next kong rank sa pag sampa, pero currently ang tagal mag bigay ng company ng line-up. Halos 2 months na po ako nag aantay ng line-up ko, gaano po ba ka tagal maximum waiting time bago ko masabing red flag na talaga 'to? Thank you sa sasagot po

Is it true that if it is sea day you are really busy and can’t even touch your phone? My gf is a youth staff 🫣

hello help naman! i’d like to ask lang if pwede ba maging marino without college degree? gusto ng kapatid ko mag take ng marine engineering program in college kaso hindi enough yung household income namin for him kasi mahal yung tuition + baon and projects/activities pa. nagssugest kami na mag take na lang sya ng ibang program pero firm talaga sya dito sa marine engineering.

pahingi naman advice as a kuyang marino! thanks!

Hello po sa mga kabaro, sasampa na po ako sa unang international contract ko at may nais lang po sana akong itanong. Pinakisuyo po ng kasamahan ko sa barko na magdala ng 5 kaha ng sigarilyo. Ang joining ko po ay sa Singapore next week. Gusto ko lang po sanang malaman kung pinapayagan po ba ito sa Singapore at kung may kailangan po bang bayaran na buwis o tax para dito. Maraming salamat po.

im from cavite po and nakapag book po ako ng appointment now for new srb/sid pero sa la union branch pa kasi yun lang may available na slot for june, kasi sabi po ng dean namin is hanggang june nalang pwede ipasa sa marina yung BT cert namin so grinab ko na po yung schedule sa la union.

Question, makukuha din po ba same day yung srb/sid or need pa po balikan after ilang days/weeks?

thankyou po!

I enrolled in a Maritime school for senior high. Now we are being asked to choose electives subject daw regardless of our career path. Do I choose mga maritime related subjects or any lang na gusto ko?
