On
the night of Christmas day , a Phone call rang to my cabin when answered , its
was O.S. Dalida and he says the he wants to discuss something that he can't
discuss with over the phone in regards with the sudden change of behavior of
Pump man Carnaje, and something to do with the Filipino chief officer Merk.
At
midnight he knocked to my cabin and I let him in. Inside he said he overheard
Merk blabber at the dinner table , speaking bisaya furiously (local ethnic
dialect in the philippines) that Chief officer Merk was furious over some
reports he received that some sort of complaint has reached the main office of
OSM regarding the incident about me and Pump man Carnaje and that the report
included (or added) 2 O.S. we're allegedly being treated badly (maltreatment).
O.S. Dalida added that they suspect me ,that I'm the one behind the said
report.
I
told O.S. Dalida , that if ever what he overheard was true, I had nothing to do
behind it and someone else made the said report. Although it was my plan to
make a complaint and report it to the OSM Office later on, I didn’t proceed on
it until I can guarantee and have reached the safety of the Philippines, which
unfortunately will not happen at least until May 2020 or June 2020 or speaking
easily 6 months away at least. I added that I specifically told my sister that
no action will be taken until I reached the Philippines in fear that there's a
possibility of retribution and revenge will soon be followed while I'm
onboard. At least if I made the report
in the Philippines, there's no possibility that retribution can be made on
their side.
Whatever
the case and whoever made the report , did not consider that factor and was
probably brainless in making one. Assuming what O.S. dalida said was true, it’s
a probability that I'm not the only one who has a grudge with them and whoever
it is has direct access to the OSM Office. As far as I know , the only person
who has a Grudge with Chief mate Merk is the Indian Chief engineer and exactly
fits my bill of suspicion, but like I said its only suspicion - nothing solid.
Anyway
I told O.S. Dalida, that I'm not the one and whoever it is , its definitely not
me, I didn’t further tell him that about the incident merk and the chief
engineer had a heated argument which the captain and another chief mate saw
publicly . I didn’t tell him for security reasons.
For
now, because of this so called report. I'm obviously getting spooked again and
will have to take extra measures for my safety, it is apparent that they will
target me because of this suspicions. It’s a shame that Filipino's do this to
other Filipino's onboard and there's a saying that there is no greater enemy of
a Filipino but a Filipino itself.
