By the way, I am one of the 12 finalists of the TH-cam NextUp Manila 2019! As part of the activities, we were immersed in a 5-day intensive series of workshops (and parties!) culminating in a video assignment. This was my entry for that video assignment.
This episode was shot in a TH-cam Pop Up Space. I chose a green screen because I have never tried using it before and I want to learn it so I can incorporate it into my videos.
Shout outs to my batch mates, the NextUp Manila Class of 2019!
I'm inviting you to Subscribe to their channels because we are planning to do a lot of collabs really soon!

This is my video assignment for TH-cam NextUp 2019. It's my first time to use a green screen so I hope you guys like it. Seriously, hit LIKE! Hahhahaha!!!
Chief Idol ang galing ng editing skills mo.
One who want to become a seafarer definitely like your videos....
Very nicely done Chief!!
Good job chief
as always, very nice (-:
I love this guy's honesty, integrity, love for his family, and honesty about his job!
AMEN
I'm a skeptic analytical type but this simple video is amazingly compelling to the point where I don't feel like my comment could praise him enough!
I spent 14 years at sea as an Engineer, I loved the life of a sailor. However all good things must come to an end and so I left the sea to start a family.
everyone talks about good salary at sea. but i have never seen real numbers.
good for one isnt good for all
@@ZakEinc JeffHK have a video with that information
In the United States officers make 6 figures per year. 3rd mate starts at around 100 k and captain levels off at about 150 k
Sir after left sea job what is your earning platform
Sir so after leaving your job , how are you taking care of your family . Are you doing another job?
21 years in the US Navy. Wish I was young enough to do it all over again. Great channel Chief!
i just can't believe that I just use to watch your videos back then, thinking how it feels like to become a seafarer and now here I am commenting while quarantined at hotel spending 13months on board!!! long live seafarers! God bless us all
4 years ago I said I will be working for CMA CGM. Right after I've finished university - Whoosh ... I got on board on CMA CGM Cassiopeia as Engine Cadet for 2 months now - 4 to go.
I love the job, I got amazing crew members. It was kind of difficult at start (first 7 days when I got homesick now and then), but now ... I think it will be really hard to adapt to life at home. In these 2 months I've travelled from Valencia to Busan and now we're heading back - currently in Shanghai.
All in all, one of the greatest factor ARE crew members. If you get people that are willing to help and teach you and also to hang out every day - days won't be boring and they will pass really fast.
Fingers crossed guys, 4 more months and I'm going back home.
To all other seafarers, I wish you calm seas and fair winds.
All very true Chief. I found that "Living out of a Suitcase" (or Seabag) around the world was an experience I would not trade knowing what I do today, but at the time most people I knew who did the same, few would have done it by choice and many found it miserable but obligations gave way what they experienced as misery. Resentment of one's choice in life often becomes is cancer on one's soul that leaves us believing there is no better or upward path in life. Having a long term perspective and a goal worthy of persevering to reach will usually prove the sacrifice worthwhile while mistaking transitory gratification at the cost of personal sacrifice can become a trap, and an addiction. I also saw many who gave up working away from family to spend more time with families, only to have their life as a family crumble in the face of reduced income and other resentments that evolved, that is why dedication to, and love of family is the most valuable aspect of life lived mostly apart or with loved-ones.
Ch/Makoi, I took my M/E academy certificate more than 1 year ago & I decided to leave this carreer forever, Because I never liked it and had very bad experience in my Engine Cadet internship, but now I started to think about my career to start over and do it, I watched your videos and had a push forwared, You inspired me more and more , So thank you soooo much for your effort and I wish to sail with you in the future, Because you are the best Ch./E that I will ever find, I am sure you love to teach and prepare Juniors like me and you are so respectful and humble, Thank you for being on TH-cam, Fare well Chief
Dear Mr Makoi.
I will never never stop to work at sea.
It’s a paid vacation for me.
To work with (normal) fellow sea farers.
Not dealing with all the crazyness that working ashore brings.
When at home the serious business begins. No vacation ... family matters all the time.....🤔😬.
Take care , thx for a lovely channel........
Stay safe
I was a working 'land lubber' for 30 years before switching careers. After graduating from the academy I went to sea and worked another 20 years on riverboats and then cargo ships before retiring. I was a chief engineer, then radio-electronics officer. It was a great experience and I'm glad that I did it. Not everyone is cut out for the job, but it worked out very well for me!
Sir it's one of most inspirational video I have ever seen for merchant navy...
So well presented advantage disadvantages...love you sir...
Love your content always....
Thanks for making such lovely content.....🙌🙌😎❤️
Hi Chief :) Yes, i was very lucky to be a seafarer for 5 years in Maersk Line when i was younger. I have been traveling around nearly the hole world, and being able to explore and learn different countries and cultures. That did change my life, even though i did know a lot of it before, i was able to see it with my own eyes. I was never seasick, even in very hard weather. My legs did hurt a little bit, because of the long time i had to balance. But all in all, i'll always remember that period of my life for being a lot of hard work, but also all the great experiences i did have. :)
I've been watching your vlogs for about a year. And to see how far you've become as a vlogger and content creator. Iba na talaga ang production value mo sir. I love it!
I'm an engineering cadet, Previously sailed on 2 vessels and I love watching your video's, Gives me lots of revision in an interesting and clear way. Keep up the vids
Boss Chief Macoy!
Everytime I will heard your vioce and watch your videos on your seaferer's journey it will inspired me alot, naluluha pa nga po ako minsan dahil nadin sa background music po nila. hehe
Yes! your correct sir, kong di malakas ang loob mo susubukin ka talaga ng tadhana.
I was a seaferer before last 2012 as messman. My experience was great and my colleague are supportive specially the chefmate, captain and also the chief enginer aswell na kahit madalas ako ibully habang sila ay kumakain in crewmess hehehe but it's ok para maging masaya lang kami lagi sa barko.
I wasn't able to finish my contract for 9 months and I requested to the captain na gusto ko ng umuwi because of homesickness. The captain and chefmate they don't want me to go dahil sayang daw also my performce is execellent on board.
Maybe the reason is Im alone at wala akong kaclose or makausap talaga. Umiikot lang buhay ko sa barko sa cabina at sa work for 7days no restday start at 5am to 8pm. Despite of that situation I'm still traying to do my duties on board, I woke in the morning at 4am to prepare cooked rice, wash the dishes, asst the chef cook and clean the big 4 cabin's and I don't have any problem with that also Im happy and I loved my job. at hindi naman po ganon kahirap work ko the only thing is homesick at mag buhat ng mabigat, magisa lang po kasi ako aside from that Im fined.
I only finish my contract for almost 5 months. Yong naging kapalitan ko na messman is 5 months contract lang and I told to my self na sana 5 months muna binigay sakin just to tried if I can survive buhay sa barko.
On this journy marami akong natutunan na dapat lumaban lang sa buhay at kong ano man disesyon gagawin mo dapat handa ka palagi. Hindi lang ako siguro sanay sa ganong environment na panay tubig na kikita mo.
I worked now in the BPO industry here in Makati.
But Im still considering and hoping makasampa ulit for the 2nd time.
If namimis ko yong naging buhay ko sa barko pinapanood ko lang po palagi sir mga videos mo at iniisip ko din saan na kaya mga nakasama ko before (crew).
Sir Chief Makoi thank for sharing your journey to inspired other people like me and godbless.
Request lang po sir shout out please on your next video.😊 Thank you.
This is a profession not for everyone. It takes a great deal of discipline and balance in mind and character, a good
work ethic and the ability to work with others - considering the multiple perils all crews are exposed both by forces of
nature and man-created situations. I admire the courage and the abilities of these men. Thank you for your videos.
New crew here. I have only served two contracts onboard as deck cadet and as O/S. This video made me inspired to learn more and to achieve management level on merchant ocean going ship. Thank you Chief Makoi. Safety first. 💯
Just To Say One Word LOVE U SO MUCH SIR BECZ OF THIS I CAN EXPLAIN MY FAMILY ABOUT MY LIFE WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IN MY LIFE NOW IAM A GP RATING CREW FROM MUMBAI🤗🤗 I SUPPORT U SIR
excellent work chief, all the merchant marine employment agencies should be looking to you for inspiration. Maybe you could look at a career change to public relations. You are a natural!
Noong ako'y bata pa at sa palagay ko'y hanggang ngayon, wala akong ibang pinangarap kung hindi ang maging Manlalakbay sa dagat. Ilang beses akong sumubok na mag eksamin sa MAAP , sa loob ng tatlong taon sumubok ako tuwing may eksamin pero bigo ako. Tinanggap kong hindi ito para sa akin at mananatili na lang na pangarap, pero masaya ako gayon pa man dahil hindi ako magiging Inhinyerong Mekanikal kung hindi dahil sa pangarap kong maging Mandaragat. Naniniwala akong ang paglalakbay sa karagatan ay hindi lamang isang propisyon ngunit isang napakasayang ekspiryensa na tanging iilan lamang ang may tiyansa na makaranas. Salamat Chief , dahil kahit papaano ay parang nakakapag barko na din ako sa mga lathala mo sa iyong pahina.
Former Coast Guard officer here. I just found your channel and instantly subscribed! I had many good Philippine-American shipmates, including one of our best cooks and his boss a CWO. They were both very squared away and did their jobs professionally. I still miss the occasional chicken adobo for chow. Delicious!
For me, what I like about life at sea, is that it makes the world look bigger. Today in the modern time on land, we have internet and can know a lot about what is happening in other countries. Also, we can travel very far in just a day by plane. This makes the world look small. But on sea, you have (almost) no internet. And travel to very far places can takes weeks, maybe even more than a month or months. This is what makes the world look bigger.
Thanks Chief Makoi, you inspired me to enter seafaring career, now I am an marine engineering student, because machines is my best friend and again you inspired me Chief💪, Thank you....
First! Super proud Chief! More more more!
Thank you Sir for your great vlogs. I don't think I would be cut out for life at sea because I would get sea sick and fear I would drown in the deep dark ocean and could not live away from land and my family for so many months. You guys are very brave and dedicated! I salute you! Thank you at least I can live vicariously through your vids.
I love your attitude, honesty, integrity. Dpressed people should learn from you how to be happy and positive in every sisuation.
My boyfriend will be on board in only two months and will be away from home for a year for his apprenticeship, and I still can't imagine what the life he would face away from us. Good thing he's been very passionate and dedicated to reach his dreams. He's only a few step away, and I am proud, me, my family, and his family is very proud.
Thank you, Chief! For making such informative yet inspiring channel for the future seafarers and to us, the pranings. Bwahahahaha. Good luck on your future endeavors!
If you need company, please let me know sweetheart.❤
Thank you! We are actually looking for options.
Just found this channel. Really like this guy. My great uncle was born in 1900 and was in the US merchant marines his whole life. Brought in cargo to the Soviet Union during WW 2 and worked on one of the last commercial sailing vessels at one point. Wish he was still alive to hear more about his life.
Well here's a good one concerning the life of a sea farer down below.
You have just completed your watch and are back in your cabin when off go the genset alarms.
The current one on line is overtemping and down on five.
When you are alongside it you note it's knocking it's nuts off.
It's up the top end so you pull the stop control.
A compression test reveals only 30 psi on no 3 ( not in firing order ) whereby the rest show 380 ish.
Another genset is now on line so off with the head.
It's dropped an exhaust valve the head of which is lying on the piston crown.
As the valve head has been bouncing around in the bore the piston/liner and head are written off.
So it's off with the crankcase door and draw the piston and strongback the liner out.
In the stores and out with a spare ready to go head and piston/liner kit.
In with the liner, check flame ring heights and back on with the head etc.
You notice on the piston/liner kit that it is marked " this liner has been counter clockwise manufactured "
Change the oil and filter and flash her up.
All ok, it's late so back to your bunk/bed.
Trying to sleep you are kept awake thinking about those markings on that piston/liner kit.
No one has seen this before and I observe from your videos that you Chief are ,the type of character who would want to know what the score is here?
So what is the difference between a clockwise machined liner and a counter clockwise machined liner?
We have to bear in mind the stress caused by a anti-clockwise cutting tool versus a clockwise cutting tool operation insomuch that the clockwise machined liner causes the dwarf to fall away from the job downwards whereby anti-clockwise machining operation requires energy to propel it into the air.
So instead of watching that film for the 29th time give it some thought as it's my intuition that this could well be a new one even for you?
Yaaaay! Ganda Chief! 🎉👏💪🏼
Splendid sir! It gave goose bumps, it motivated me a lot, it keeps me fighting and work hard to reach my dream and goals (to become a successful master mariner), it feeds my hunger for passion in seafaring. You are truly an inspiration to me and to all of us sir and I would like to express my gratitude for making all of these videos and blogs sir. May god bless you sir and more blessings to come.
Chief Makoi, thank you much for educating us on seafarer's life. And life at sea. I agree this is not for everyone. You must have a calling.
One can classify people in 3 groups : Alive people ,Dead people and last type - Seafarers. (old Croatian folk wisdom )
Love what you are doing...keep it up!!
My Father would be gone for months working on boats. But the time he was home was well spent.
Its definitely not for everybody.
It can be a real strain on a family.
We use to say, “going to sea is like being in prison, except you don’t get any visitors at sea”
In my twenty-nine years at sea, the hardest part was missing out on life events at home. Besides myself, I knew others who had an emergency situation happen at home, but could do nothing about it.
There are a lot of divorced sailors out there and I became one of them.
There is great money to be made, but money is not everything.
Chief, amazing, been sailing my last 10 years on cruise ships. I ve started on bulk, hard work there. I wish you all the best and safe seas!
Hi Chief, a car carrying cargo ship (this week), leaving a port in the state of Georgia, USA capsized with 4 men inside. They were able to rescue 3 by cutting though the hull. The last man was eventually rescued after a time.
Maraming salamat po chief madami po akong natututunan dahil po sayo godbless po at safetrip.
#futurecaptain. ⚓
Your slide show makes me emotional and I don't even normally watch your videos.
And you do all this so we can get our 3080's 😭 what a bro.
Pagaling ng pagaling mga ideas and creativity mo Chief. As well as paganda ng paganda nman mga I naupload mo mga videos. Nakaka inspired din. Salute to you Sir...
I watch both of you's guy channel..Jeff & Makoi...your videos give me the push to pursued my life in the Maritime industry...i share your videos with my friends and family every chance I get...i have already taken steps in becoming a seafarer and can wait to work on a ship and travel the world...thanx you guys for your videos... very inspiring...
Awesome chief...
That's my dream to become a seafeare.....sail across the sea.....and travel the whole world!!
Where just the same
I think I've watched all of your vlogs over and over in anticipation of the new one,its taking a long time but I'm quite sure it will be wonderful like the rest or even better,this short video with the green screen is a big improvement and I cant wait to see what's next.
I was privileged to be with my C/E over many years on box boats and tankers. So many cheerful men and occasional women crew have left me with super memories, different cultures, sights, experiences with those wretched pirates (safely), expensive inmarsat calls, shame I didn't meet you at handover.
Your videos are spot on, thank you.
I have just started my career in merchant marine or navy i am currently studying in great eastern maritme academy india and after 1 year of diploma and then 18 month on board :) and i really admire yr videos chief
"Do you think you have what it takes to live a seafarer's life?"
Absolutely not. Nope nope nope. Not built for it.
But it is incredibly fascinating and I have a lot of respect for you guys, essentially keeping the world running. You are one cool cat, my man.
I’ve probably worked on your ship before chief, I noticed Astoria Oregon!!!
Good job Chief ;)
Seafarer here! Awesome vídeo! Never had the opportunity to work with Philippines. They are indeed a chunk of the workforce on foreign crews here in Brazil.
Great video! Knowing what I know now, if I was younger, I would've given the profession serious thought. In my twenties, I even contemplated joining my country's navy. I'm too old to start now, so I travel the world with friends or travel groups. But I won't deny that when I see a ship leaving a dock or harbor, there's a bit of romanticism and a lot of respect for those on board. Thanks for sharing and safe journeys.
It‘s a good video for seafarers. Hi ~Chief MAKOi, my name is Liber, Taiwanese, and I have been a deck officer for six years. I'm creating videos to introduce Maritime and seafarers to more Taiwanese. You're a great senior to me.
Napaka Very Good Quality ang mga Contents mo Chief.
Motivational.
Saludo ako sa inyo sir dahil sinakripisyo mo lahat para mabigyan lang nang desinting pamumuhay ang iyong pamilya...napaka gandang pagkaka gawa sa video na to...
Onboard. Work is monotonous, i even loose track of the days sometimes😂 i think its friday when its actually monday😂
Noon po 10k lang yun ngayon po 100k napo congrats sir. Madami po akong natutunay talaga sa inyo kung amo ang mga pamaraan sa barko ngayon po nag aaral ako tapos yung iba mung mga sanabi nasa lecture namin po
I found your channel because I live in Baltimore & used to drive over the Francis Scott Key bridge. I have been unexpectedly touched by your impassioned testimony of a life aboard ship. You are a man of outstanding character. The maritime profession is better for having you as a member. Fair winds & following seas, my friend!🫡
After writing the above, I browsed the comments only to find that I am but one voice in a very large choir of praise. To this I simply say, "Wow!"
I've watched several of your well produced episodes but just now have I circled back to see this brilliant introduction video. Almost in my 70's now but if I had it to do all over again just maybe the sailing life would be for me. Thanks!
Hi sir. My answer to your question is yes. I can do anything what it takes to give my family a very good life. I am now taking the marine engineering program. I hope i can have the chance to meet you and to get along onboard when i become an engineer. Because i really admire you sir.
The immediate application of green screen. CONGRATS for your 100k subs chief. ROAD TO 1 MILLION.
Good job as always! My dream was to be a captain, in the air or at sea. For the past 20 yrs I have been on Disability. That can happend when you are born with Cerebral Palsy.
Even with your disability I hope you can find something to do that will match or nearly match your dream of being a captain. Good luck sir and have a great life.
DrownedToad Thank you my friend. I worked for SAS ( Scandinavian Airlines) for 10 yrs. Then I had three back surgeries in four yrs, and that was the end of that. It is confusing when your head is 20 and your body is 120.
Dahil sayo chief kaya ako nag entrance exam sa PMMA thank you for inspiring us
Kahit anong hirap masusuklian din nang kasiyahan☝️ Future Seafarer
Chief, without a doubt, this is your best video ever (from a production point of view). Too bad you cannot fram a video! This is seriously good stuff. I am jealous! Attaboy!
wooww.!!!! This doesn’t look like it’s your first time using green screen.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Congratulations sir Chief Makoi for reaching 100K Subs. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 #SeamanVlogSquad
It's not about the money it's all about passion and loving this profession 😊
The money is important too. Real Talk.
@@ChiefMAKOi yes po to provide the needs of your love ones pero to survive the life of seafaring yan po 😊
I like how you sometimes do "adult jokes(forgive me if those are not your intent)" in your videos, it's hilarious.
Referring to the bar...
*shows bar*
"delicacies"
I do try to be a funny guy sometimes 😄
@@ChiefMAKOi thank you for these videos. I miss my dad so much. He was a Bosun. Some of his sea stories were my bedtime stories as a child.
Yes I have what it takes period but now I am an old person I'm 59 years old. I would have loved to started this 30 plus years ago but I missed my opportunities because I didn't pursue it. When I was a child I grew up on fishing boats is San Francisco Bay always dreamed of being some kind of a captain LOL. Anyways as I grew up on the peninsula of San Francisco I ended up working for a company making artificial seawater for marine life LOL surrounded by sea water and I made sea water on land in a dry form and we shipped it in containers all over the world so yes I know a little bit about container ships and boats but I would rather have traveled like you do. But like all of us I'm old now but I still enjoy your videos because it makes me remember what I could have done also I watch you travel. Much respect to you captain aka Superman. Much love Joe Dirt NorCal
thank you chief makoi! sobrang ganda ng video na to, napaka ganda na motivate ako chief makoi! God Bless you sir! mabuhay ka ingat sir Von Voyage!
Man watching your video make fill I want cry you just remind me ,one of the best time of my life from 1993 all through 2001 .
2001 move to USA build my life till I become successful business owner .
2013 get my MMC AND TWIC want to go back to seaman life
2020 all documents expire I will renew them this time I’m going back to seaman life
As they said once seafarer you are seafarer .
Hey Chief, love watching your videos. I couldn't do what you do. Though, like you I have done some long time on various other brown water vessels and now have my Chief Engineer License. I work a 14/7 schedule and it is a nice mix of home and work. I am currently in the running for the 1st Assistant Engineer onboard our dredge. Not bad for coming here in 2013 as a deckhand. Safe travels Chief!
I noticed you called it a "profession" not a "career". I would agree with that characterization. It also indicates your attitude toward what you do.
Every videos you upload sir chief makoi marami akong natutunan. Pangarap kopo kasi seaman . Salamat po
Chief Naval Engineer Mr.Makoi ,
may the peace, blessings, and mercy of God be upon you .We would like to thank you very much for the wonderful content you provide us, and we are looking forward to more videos that have a full explanation of the repair work for all the malfunctions that the ship is exposed to while sailing, with mentioning the references that benefit this part .Thank you very much .We wish you continued success.
They dont know being a seafarer is so damn hard but u gonna need to do your job in order to give your family a better life
As a former seafarer I consider the provided content to be of highest quality. Just one advice regarding the editing. Keep it simple, all these “jumping” windows are distracting to me. Keep up the good work Chief!
Good to see u back sir. Kahit d ako seaman .. interested ako sa mga topic mo.. ..
Napakagaling mo talaga mag vlog chief. Ikaw na da best blogger na seaman. Pangarap kong maging katulad mo. Gagawin kun rin mga ginagawa niya. Pakivisit nalang channel ko. Thank you
My friend who is a Pinoy is a Seafarer on a Bulk Carrier and i am pretty sure you have to be quite tough mentally and Physically for this job.
I get seasick in the bath, so no, no seafaring for me; despite my grandfather being Royal Navy, and my mother being the only passenger down to the first night at sea on the sail from Southampton to Sydney. I didn't get the sealegs. :) Love the vlogs, Chief, keep them coming.
My inspiration. I wanna be just like you in the future chief makoi☺️❤️
Ganda na ng editing m chief ah nice... sabik na ako sa mga future vlogs on sea chief sana sumampa kana haha
My family has been sending young men onto the sea for at least 400 years, yet I'm not to be one of those men. Still, I admire those who make a life out there, and sometimes I have an urge to set sail myself.
I'm a seafarer too po kahit ganito lang ako haha. So I can say di talaga ganon kadali. Hehe. But i think everyone can be one, as long as you have a perseverance and determination. Tagal na kita finafollow sir. I Want to become what you become din po dito sa yt. I want to inspire people on my channel kahit na small youtuber lang ako. Thanks for the aspirations. More power and safe seas always! 😁
Thank you for this video. I love the ocean, so I was thinking of becoming a seafarer. This definitely helps me understand what I'd be getting into and what to expect.
Nakaka inspire po talaga kayo aspiring seaman po ako 1st year college, bago palang po ako sa channel nyo pero halos na panoud ko na lahat nang videos nyo po, keep it up poo 💕💕👍
What a cool channel. How did I just now find it? NICE
MAKOi, I would have no problem being at sea for however months/years my contract called for, here in American my chosen profession was driving semi trucks 'all over' North America, just under 'five million miles' all done alone, while most all drivers marry and have families, me Ive never married, I can honestly say 'I can count on my two hands the number of dates with girls/women, 'no' I am not gay, that part of normal life has 'never' been part of mine, I've always been the shy around women type! After 'thirty two years' of truckin I had a 'personal accident while on an oilfield frac job site accident, after two back surgeries I'm now handicapped and totally miss my loved career! I've enjoyed watching and learning throughout your many videos, I thank you for sharing yourself, in this video your family, the many deck crews, the many engine crews and your many tours throughout the ships from end to end, top to bottom, I always wish you and everyone on board safety and happiness for the professions y'all have made in your lives, whenever I see your name attached to a video I click on them every time, y'all be well and safe.
Thank you for sharing that and for always being supportive.
That’s me paid off Chief another 4 month trip under my belt. Safe sailing where ever the winds take you Brother 👨🍳👨🍳
Definitely, the Philipines are non-native English speakers with the best accent in the world.
I wanted to go to sea when I was 16-17 years old, I had a great interest in big machineries and what bigger can you get than a ships diesel motor. Since I am from Sweden I was looking at what was available and there was a shipping company called "Nordstjernan" if I remember it right, and apart from shipping they also ran a "Seamen's High School". I actually didn't want to have all the responsibilities that a Chief Engineer, too much maths and things like that and it wasn't my best subject, so I was looking a bit lower down. Being a Donkey Man sounded interesting so that was what I was looking at.
However, my mother didn't want me to spend that much time away from home, so she put a stop to all that by enlisting me to some Technical High School instead, with Basic Mechanics and things like that on the schedule, and there I got an education that I haven't had any use for at all in my adult life. / B.
Galing sir chief!!! Tapos na sya wuhooo 😀
Just when you think it can't get any better, You keep stepping up your game! That was Awesome! Love the "Bloopers" Thanks Brother!
Idol chief i want to be a seafarer soon your the one of my inspiration and my tito whos captain
I love this guys wholesomeness!
Keep up the good work chief. I lived and miss the life USN, USMMA.
Quality vlog. 2nd BSMT here from Lyceum International Maritime Academy. God bless Chief Makoi!
Ang galing talaga! Congrats chief!!! 👏
Sailed with a couple of Filipinos, real fun guys! I miss having them by my side on deck...
You , Sir have my utmost respect for what you do!!!! It’s amazing!! God Bless✨be safe!
1st year BSMT student here! Matutuwa talaga ako sa mga kwento ng mga instructor ko sa experience nila
