My Dream Came True in a Most Unexpected Way

Last October 5, 2021 is my most awaited day. It is when I left the country to travel to Paris for work. It was an 18hrs long and tiresome flight but it was indeed worth it. I was full of hopes then. I started dreaming bigger and planning for a better future.

I boarded on the ship the moment we arrived in Paris because that was a very urgent call. I did not mind the jet lag as my body adjusted in the new environment I am currently in. I was very eager to work because for me, that is a DREAM COME TRUE. And that finally, all the hardworks will pay off.

At first, I felt I was on a cloud nine. I did not feel any pressure and everything was just so smooth. My colleagues are very accomodating as well as our officials. There was no problem at all. I enjoy working every day. I was really happy with what I am doing. Thank you Lord.🙏

However, October 11, 2021 happened. Our vessel was hijacked. Armed men went in our vessel early dawn, in the middle of our sleep. We were asked to go out in our cabins and stayed in one place, all lying down with our hands closely tied with cable wires. It happened so fast that I thought it was the end of the world for me. The armed men searched for something in our vessel which until know is a mystery for us. They also took all the gadgets and money that we have. Yet thankfully after more than hour, they left the ship with no one is totally harmed.

My dream suddenly turned into a tragedy. Our vessel is now on hold and we are left with no choice but to go home. SAD. What is more challenging there is that I have to fight the trauma that is in me everyday because of the incident. I could hardly sleep at night and I became very anxious each time someone knocks and opens my cabin. It is also very depressing to realize how my dream turned into a nightmare. I could not help myself but to cry and question why did this happen to me? Had I not done my best enough?

Now, I am battling depression and anxiety. I am saddened for the incident because I have to start all over again. Plus, I am also worried for my health since most of the crews here are COVID positive already. 😭😭 I just hope I can surpass this test of faith until I get to see my family in the Philippines.

My dream came true in a most unexpected way but I WILL RISE AGAIN.This is not the end of my journey. I will make this experience an edge to make something better. What is important now is I am safe and I am going home alive.

Good news,
The remaining crew from Angelic Power are repatriated. Thanks for all the People who helped and shared the post on FB to forward to the person concerned.

Wilfred asked to help the sailors of the M / V angelic Power which was abandoned by the shipowner.
They are currently in Guishan Anchorage China since 17 months on board and 5 months without salary !
They asked help for their families and to go back to the Philippines and Greece, but the ship's Chinese operator said they had to wait until the ship was sold first to be paid.
By sharing you will be of great help to our sailors.
