Patay ang isang 26 anyos na seaman matapos mahulog sa dagat habang naglilinis ng bintana ng barko noong Setyembre 5 sa Livorno, Italy.
Nakilala ang Pinoy na si Marvin Galero, seafarer ng cruise ship na Vision of the Seas.
Ayon sa mga saksi, bandang alas-11:30 ng umaga nang mahulog si Galero mula sa pinakamataas na deck ng barko habang naglilinis ng bintana.
Agad na dumating ang rescue divers ng Vigili del Fuoco di Livorno (Livorno Fire Brigade) matapos makatanggap ng tawag mula sa commander sa control room ng barko.
Matapos ang mahigit 2 oras na search and rescue operations, natagpuan sa ilalim ng dagat ang labi ni Galero sa lalim na 13 metro.
Hindi pa rin tiyak ang dahilan ng pagkahulog ng marino. Iniimbestigahan ngayon ng pulisya kung may pagkukulang sa safety measures habang naglilinis ang Pinoy.
Mandatory na naka-harness kapag may outboard operations kaya palaisipan kung paano nahulog si Galero.
May taas na 30 metro ang pinagbagsakan ni Galero mula sa deck.
Pangatlo sa 9 na magkakapatid si Galero at 3 taon nang seaman. Naghihinagpis ang pamilya Galero nang matanggap ang balita mula sa agency.
“Hihingi pa kami ng tulong. Hinding-hindi namin matanggap ang nangyari. Wasak na wasak kami. Sobrang sakit po talaga,” ayon sa nakatatandang kapatid ni Galero na si Yenyen.
“Ang mama at papa ko hindi pa rin matanggap at lalo na rin kami. Sobrang sakit po. Kung puwede lang sana ibalik ang oras para nandito pa rin siya.”
Ayon sa lokal na pahayagan sa Livorno, sinimulan na ang autopsy sa labi ni Galero. Iimbestigahan din ang apat katao kabilang ang kapitan ng barko sa posibleng kasong manslaughter.
Hiling naman ng pamilya Galero na maiuwi agad ang labi ni Marvin.
“Pina-process pa namin ang katawan niya sa ngayon para maiuwi na siya dito sa amin,” dagdag ni Yenyen.

PCG: China’s bullying in West Philippine Sea undermines international law --- Ghio Ong - The Philippine Star

MANILA, Philippines — Letting China sustain its aggression in the West Philippine Sea would make other countries doubt the strength of international law currently being asserted by the Philippines, Commodore Jay Tarriela of the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) said. “Allowing China to blatantly disregard the established rules-based order threatens the very foundation that we all depend on,” he wrote in a post on X last Tuesday. He added, “If we permit this, countries worldwide may forget why this order was created in the first place. Nations could begin to doubt the significance of adhering to international law if powerful bullies can easily violate it.” Tarriela also said defiance of other countries to a rules-based order would result in the prevalence of cruelty. He wrote, “This could lead us back to a time when might makes right, undermining the global structures that keep human greed, savagery and barbarism in check. Such a scenario would not only invite challenges from aggressive ...

Social media seen as cause of rising intermarriages --- Helen Flores - The Philippine Star

MANILA, Philippines — The Commission on Filipinos Overseas (CFO) sees social media as the main reason for the rising number of Filipinos marrying or becoming partners of foreign nationals. In 2022, the CFO recorded 6,854 marriages or partnerships with foreign nationals, a 40.1 percent increase from the 4,891 “intermarriages” recorded in 2021. “First of all, what we see in the increase in the marriage rate of Filipinos or Filipinos with foreign partners is because of social media, (that) is number one; matchings; letters, introduction of their friends,” CFO chairperson Romulo Arugay said at the Bagong Pilipinas Ngayon public briefing yesterday. Arugay said the agency has been registering a high number of intermarriages since 2007, but the figures went down during the COVID-19 pandemic. From over 6,500 Filipinos who married foreign nationals, only 600 are men, he said. Most of them are married to Americans, Japanese, Germans, Canadians and Australians, Arugay said. Arugay warned Fi...
