Sadly I was not able to go freediving in Balabac because the waves and currents are too strong, but I still got to enjoy the Island life 🏝️

Phantom Friday...
...hard times 2.
On the night of July 29, USS Midway was transiting through the Balabac Strait, the passage that separates the Philippines’ Palawan Island from the northern Borneo coast, heading for the Indian Ocean for a 3-month deployment. As Midway passed through the narrow strait, the Panamanian freighter Cactus was spotted approaching from the west. The crew of Midway warily watched the approaching freighter, whose course would take it safely behind the carrier. However, the Cactus unexpectedly veered to port and struck Midway amid-ships.

The Cactus sliced through the hull directly under the overhanging flight deck. The collision ruptured fuel lines, damaged an aircraft elevator and smashed the ship’s optical landing system. More critically, the carrier’s liquid oxygen plant was shattered. Two sailors working in the liquid-oxygen plant were killed, and 6 aircraft, including these Phantoms, were written off. Luckily, there was no fire.

Mahal, hindi mo kailangang gumastos nang malaki para ako’y mapangiti. Hindi mo ako kailangang dalhin sa Balabac, sa Baguio, o sa Batanes. Hindi kailangang ilipad sa eroplano’t ipagsigawan sa ibabaw ng mundo. Hindi ko hangad ang lasa ng pinakamahal na kape, ang atmospera sa mamahaling kainan na nakaiiláng ang katahimikan. Hindi sabik sa tanawin sa ibabaw ng bundok o lamig ng malawak na karagatan. Hindi naghahanap ng niyebe sa Amerika o taglagas sa Korea.
Hindi natin kailangang lumayo para masulit ang bawat minuto. Hindi kailangang suyurin ang bawat sulok ng mundo para mapatunayang buo ang pag-ibig mo. Hindi natin kailangang pilitin ang hindi at hindi pa kaya. Ayos na ako. Kahit d’yan lang sa may kanto. Sa paresan na paborito mo. Sa turo-turo. Kahit dito lang sa tabi mo.
Mahal, pakatandaan mo sana na hindi mahalaga sa akin kung gaano kagara ang bawat tagpuan natin. Dahil saan man tayo makarating, mananatiling iisa ang paborito kong tanawin—ikaw at ikaw pa rin.
