Thanks for taking pity on us who only have one language. Videos with subtitles can also be good in there's that extra layer of a language which is a part of who you are. Although they are more work. Would it cut down your work if you did Taglish with English subtitles only for Tagalog or would the result not make sense at all? We might even learn a few words 😁.
Not a video request - but do you have any idea on how hard it is to find an academy or university that does this outside of the Phillipeans, specifically the EU? I know that maritime is a huge profession in many Asian countries and I've seen many academies in that area but in the UK specifically it seems to be a very hidden, niche profession.
Perhaps how you and other mariners get their contracts? Do you have to join unions? How important is seniority and how much choice do you have have? Do you as the Chief Engineer get to pick your own team?
There is a whole world out there that 99% of us will never see or be apart of, let alone understand. Thank you for bring your life at sea and more for us landlubbers. .
We are waiting! I was USN 50 years ago and loved being a a boilerman that lead me to a career in steam power with a couple Edison companies. I also worked at a shipyard here in Toledo Ohio between Edisons and loved it. As a retire I still follow some of the Great Lakes ships I have done repairs on. Keep it coming !
I’m retired Senior Chief from the US Navy, I work mainly below deck in the aviation fuels, back when we had AV-Gas, love it and yes I miss it both below and flight deck. I did 10 years active duty, and 13 years I the Reserves. I would have done all active but being married and kids changed that. The Reserves work out because I didn’t want to lose the 10 years. 😊 keep up the stories it brings back so many memories and good times, and it’s so work related as to my experiences all except the engine😢
Chief, good to see you back!! I found your first PC interesting and it reminded me of my four year engineer officer cadetship that i started in 1974. We did two years at collage, 12 months at sea and a year back at collage. I also took my first flight at 18, from the UK to Chiang Kai-Shek in Taiwan to join my first ship. Many happy memories. Keep up the good work and i look forward to your next content. Thanks!
Hello, I am not a seaman, but I'm an engineer, so I really enjoy the knowledge and good practices that you show are applicable to any profession or simply to your life. You can always learn. I'm glad to hear from you again. Take care and greetings from Mexico
As former US Navy seaman I really enjoy your channel. Thanks a lot for including us in the pod cast. I’m living in the Philippines now, and I have several OFW friends and relatives via my wife who are seafarers. So I’m doubly interested.
Thanks chief for this history of your career. ALL of your posts are fascinating, but hearing of your ladder upward adds a touch of realism to your accounts. Be safe and continue your posts on your marine career. Best, bob
I read recently that when all is done stories are what we leave behind. Stories inform, inspire, caution, and so much more. Tell the stories Chief Engineer Makoi...the future always starts in the now. Much love good sir.
I agree. I grew up in a small town and telling stories was a constant. I later moved to a large city and nobody I worked with told stories. I always wondered how are these people going to get to know each other if they don't tell stories about themselves or their background? To this day I still tell stories about things that happened to my dad and my grandpa years before I was born.
Great presentation, always enjoy watching them. USN veteran. Machinist Mate in auxiliaries 50 years ago. Our Home port was Subic Bay. Spent about 2 1/2 years over there in the Gator Navy transporting U.S. Marines from Okinawa to Vietnam. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts, knowledge, and sea stories. Looking forward to the next adventure.
I liked being on boats and went to the US Merchant Marine Academy. I couldn’t decide if I wanted to be on the bridge or in the Engine Room, so I did both.
Thank you for sharing. While in the US it’s interesting to see how different countries and cultures join the maritime industry. It’s great to give the world the exposure so that it increases understanding across the world.
Good to hear from you chief, last year I commented on starting my seafaring school, I'm proud to say I passed all of my subjects in my first year. Thank you again for showing this workfield to me and many other people that otherwise never would have thought about it.
Thanks for planning to include subtitles for the tagalog podcasts dealing with topics specific to the nation(s) that have a large seafaring population. Over the years, I've become increasingly aware of human rights violations in the shipping industry, and I presume some on the podcasts will deal with finding reliable/trusted employers, good placements on ships, what to be weary of and so on. What's happening in international waters really is in equal parts fascinating and disturbing.
Chief, we all must make sacrifice as we travel through life, you my friend shared your life and times for your sacrifice of family,friends and home life to serve others!! Thank you for your hard work along with your coworkers over your career path.
Outstanding first episode Chief! I love hearing the seafarer stories from my wife's relatives when they were able to join the US Navy and some of them continuing their sea going careers after the Navy. Before meeting my wife 21 years ago, never knew how important the Filipinos were to the maritime industry. Looking forward to additional stories through the podcast.
Thank you Chief; for including us in these productions. Your background is what makes you a better leader. You can relate better to those who came up the hard way .
Chief, we wouldn't be here if we didn't want to hear your stories. You have captured our souls with this educational seafarer channel. As an ex-pat Canadian living happily in the Philippines with a beautiful wife and teenage son, I am proud to be your neighbour now. Keep them coming sir.
Simple stevedore here, watching your vids are always a pleasure because you show me the world and work of seafarers that I don't see, being dockbound, and hearing how you became involved in seafaring is a treat for sure. It helps me do my job better, knowing what seafarers have to deal with when abroad and at anchorage/dock. I look forward to your next installment, good sir.
Thanks for giving us an insight into the world of seafaring. I have many interests in life paths, I could have taken, but I found your channel a number of years ago and have found your life history to be interesting. Please keep up the good work. The teaser in the last episode with the chickens, helped me understand the full range of your skills and willingness to expand your efforts to support your family. Please continue.
I have enjoyed all of your videos including this one. You have a distinct style of presentation that makes your subject matter interesting even to someone who has no knowledge or experience in the marine seafaring life.
I completely agree. I have a lifelong vertigo/seasick condition that makes it impossible for me to be on ships, but I adore Chief's channel. It's the excellent style of presentation, true.
Hi, I am not a seaman either, but I'm an 58 yr old danish electronics engineer and worked my but of in maritime navigation equipment, all the way from RIBs, fishing vessels to deep blue water ships, so I really enjoy your content too. I had often hoped to find out more about your way into the business. As it turns out, my 21 yr old daughter has chosen the goal as you. She starts her cadet training from September this year, with Maersk Supply Service. Question from her to y'all: how does the engine crew think of the fact that women is becoming more and more present in the engineering onboard?
Chief, you shed the light on a topic that is very underexplained. Until I saw your channel I didn’t even think about seafaring, it is fascinating and thank you for taking us all along. I look out at the ships in Vancouver harbour and now I think of what you have taught me.
Having watched your previous videos/onboard adventures, I think you have much to contribute to young/new crew about how to conduct yourself professional. I am sure you have the skills to build these episodes into really interestingly useful videos. Good on you.
It is nice to see you creating content again, and that was very interesting Chief. You are a very good story teller. I would definitely like to hear more of the story about how you became a mariner.
Thanks for thinking about us English speaking audience Chief. As someone who is taking his first steps in this sector your videos are both interesting and informative. Cheers.
Thanks, chief! My life partner is Filipina and her father is also a chief maritime engineer. Long ago I happened upon your channel. It has given me such insight as to the life that you lead at sea.
This was an interesting video. As for me, I am also a seafarer (now retired). In my high school days I was interested in amateur radio. Back then Morse code was a requirement so I listened on my shortwave receiver for loud signals sending Morse code so I could practice. Stations that were communicating with ships at sea were the easiest stations to hear. After a while my thoughts were 'someday I'm going to work as a radio officer on ocean going ships'. It didn't quite work out that way because when I eventually entered a Merchant Marine academy they didn't have a program for radio officers. I was forced to choose the deck or engine side. At that point I started my training as a marine engineer. Eventually I did become a chief engineer and only then did I finally switch jobs and become a radio officer and realize my childhood dreams.
Everyone has a story to tell and each tale is unique. I enjoyed your story, Chief, as I had two uncles in the British Merchant Service and another, a North Sea trawlerman. Your experiences will give me an insight into their lives and travels. I shall eagerly await subsequent chapters of your saga. Thank-you.
Dear Chief, similar story as me back in 2006..family difficulty, try getting full sponsorship at any course. It was hard time though.looking forward to your next podcast..enjoy it
As usual, very informative and interesting. Thank you very much. As a retired vehicle mechanic and machinist, I can relate and appreciate your many steps to bringing your career to where it is now. Keep up the good work.
I've been waiting for this content chief. Your journey from cadet to chief engineer. Praying for your good health, for us to enjoy more of your videos 😅. God bless Chief 🙏
I love these videos!! I've been an Asst Chief Stationary Engineer (power plant) from L.A. for about a year now. Your videos motivate me, even I'm primarily in a stationary plant setting.
I think this is my first comment. I have thoroughly enjoyed your videos. I'm sure I am one of thousands who has missed you while you took a break. Frankly, my assumption was exactly what you said, you were burned out. I am glad you are back. I enjoyed every detail of your story. Keep them coming. From landlocked Oklahoma City, OK, USA.
These videos in English, regardless of topic or targeted audience, help educate those of us in the general public. I'd love to see a world geography of ports from a seaman's perspective series.
Thanks for sharing your story Chief! you have been always an inspirational person for me. Please continue in English. And keep it up!! , I have an idea if you can host a cadet or senior engineers on your podcast or live on Instagram where we can get inspired about others' stories through you. I'm Syrian and I graduated this year from CGU in India, I have been watching you since the start of my academic journey.
Nice job Chief! Yes I want to hear the rest of the story. Thanks for sharing. This format suits you well. Still want to see the full shipboard stories but this was really good.
I said the same thing as you when asked by my father, "What are you going to do after [high school] graduation?" "I don't know." My dad suggested an apprenticeship. So, like you, I passed the tests and was accepted. That was FIFTY years ago.😮 And, like you, it served me well. I love your videos. Keep 'em comin'.👍
Yes, I definitely enjoyed your story on the beginning of your seafarer career. Great logo combining an anchor ring and the big end of a connecting rod. 👍😎✌
Chief, you are a great story-teller. Thank you for this podcast. I enjoyed hearing about how you started your seafaring career. I look forward to the next podcasts. Cheers from Liz and Ginger (pic left) in Australia.

Your videos and this podcast have been a nice window into what I missed.
Thanks for doing this in English, Chief. Your videos are always fascinating to me. I appreciate you keeping us in the loop.
My pleasure!
Agreed!.
Always enjoyable. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for taking pity on us who only have one language.
Videos with subtitles can also be good in there's that extra layer of a language which is a part of who you are. Although they are more work.
Would it cut down your work if you did Taglish with English subtitles only for Tagalog or would the result not make sense at all? We might even learn a few words 😁.
If you have some topics that you want me to discuss, leave a comment here and I'll see what I can do.
Not a video request - but do you have any idea on how hard it is to find an academy or university that does this outside of the Phillipeans, specifically the EU? I know that maritime is a huge profession in many Asian countries and I've seen many academies in that area but in the UK specifically it seems to be a very hidden, niche profession.
@@crusaderguy1817 Maritime Institute of Willem Barentzs in the Netherlands is a good one.
Perhaps how you and other mariners get their contracts? Do you have to join unions? How important is seniority and how much choice do you have have? Do you as the Chief Engineer get to pick your own team?
Would you like to be an instructor at the Academy yourself one day?
Since the Philippines has so many different dialects, is the instruction at the Academy in English?
There is a whole world out there that 99% of us will never see or be apart of, let alone understand. Thank you for bring your life at sea and more for us landlubbers.

This was awesome Chief!!!!! So glad you shared your amazing story. Can't wait to hear the next chapter!
I'm glad you decided to do this. I find your story very interesting and can't wait to hear the next chapter.

Looking forward to the next installment
I love it all, we Americans love to see experience outside of our own! Keep up the great work
Thank you! Will do!
Thank you, Chief it was very interesting to hear your story. Looking forward to learning more about your life at sea.
So nice to hear your story and that you're back. Please keep it up.
Epic! You did better as you went further into the story.
Thanks!
I was going to say exactly this, the story became smoother and more engaging.
Thank you very much for sharing be happy take care Awesome video
Thanks Chief for your story. Look forward to hearing the rest of it. Mark from Kansas USA
Thanks for thinking about us English speaking audience Chief. As someone who is taking his first steps in this sector your videos are both interesting and informative. Cheers.

Lovely hearing your life story. Adds some depth to your character.
Thanks so much Chief, appreciated !
Love the podcasts. Hope to see you on the Apple platform

I couldn't imagine having to do all that at 18 on your own. Very impressive, a really good story. Obviously you survived so good work.
Thanks for taking us back to the beginning Chief. Look forward to many more episodes.
Everyone has a story to tell and each tale is unique. I enjoyed your story, Chief, as I had two uncles in the British Merchant Service and another, a North Sea trawlerman. Your experiences will give me an insight into their lives and travels. I shall eagerly await subsequent chapters of your saga. Thank-you.
I will be watching all of your future videos as I have in the past. Welcome back!
Chief, very well done! Down to earth and informative. A length of 15 minutes, more or less, is just right.
Your story is very interesting. Cant wait for more . Thank you for sharing.
Very interesting to me as a non-seaman. Can't wait to hear more.
Dear Chief, similar story as me back in 2006..family difficulty, try getting full sponsorship at any course. It was hard time though.looking forward to your next podcast..enjoy it
Thank you Chief. Looking forward to more about your path of your career..
Love watching your vids Chief!! Keep up the work. Podcast experiment looks very good to my eyes.
As usual, very informative and interesting. Thank you very much. As a retired vehicle mechanic and machinist, I can relate and appreciate your many steps to bringing your career to where it is now. Keep up the good work.
Super glad you're doing this in english as well man, been great to have it in the background while working on stuff.
I've been waiting for this content chief. Your journey from cadet to chief engineer. Praying for your good health, for us to enjoy more of your videos 😅. God bless Chief 🙏
Very noble of you to help your family. I doubt very many young wayward children would do this today. Prove me wrong and make my day.
I love these videos!! I've been an Asst Chief Stationary Engineer (power plant) from L.A. for about a year now. Your videos motivate me, even I'm primarily in a stationary plant setting.
Awesome podcast Chief. I hope you'll continue (as time and circumstance permit) in English.
That's the plan!

Thank you so much 😊
Funny thing is Chief, I thought that when you were on hiatus you might have accepted a teaching position at PMMA!
These videos in English, regardless of topic or targeted audience, help educate those of us in the general public. I'd love to see a world geography of ports from a seaman's perspective series.
Very interesting!. Keep the videos and podcasts coming. Cheers from the center of Canada
Thanks Chief MAKOi to offer your podcast in English too. I appreciate it
Thanks for sharing your interesting seafaring origin story, Chief.
Really happy to see you back
You have thought me so much about life at sea
That was very interesting, thanks for sharing. I'm looking forward to ep. 2!
Absolutely will be following along. Love it as I do the videos
Thanks for sharing your story Chief! you have been always an inspirational person for me. Please continue in English.

Pls don't wait so long to post a vid. I enjoy you adventures. Thank you, stay safe.
Thank you! Will do! Podcasts are easier to make so I'll probably do this more often.
I like the format, time went quickly and you are a gifted storyteller!
As always, it's a pleasure to hear from you, Chief. I remember that series on the PMMA. Impressive. Keep these podcasts coming. All the best to you.
Nice job Chief! Yes I want to hear the rest of the story. Thanks for sharing. This format suits you well. Still want to see the full shipboard stories but this was really good.
Very, very, interesting Chief!

I love your videos. Keep 'em comin'.👍
I have sent this to my grandson who is figuring out what to do after school. Thank you for this, chief.
Thank you for sharing your story! Look forward to hearing more!
Very good! Really enjoy hearing how you started out! Like the Pod cast!
Looking forward to the rest :)
I've been following you for a couple of years now and I always wondered, today you answered my question. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this, as always very interesting
Bless you brother.....Thank you
I enjoy seeing you in THIS FORMAT 👍
Glad you enjoy it!
Yes, I definitely enjoyed your story on the beginning of your seafarer career. Great logo combining an anchor ring and the big end of a connecting rod. 👍😎✌
Away nice to listen to someone's life story 😊👍
Thanlks Chief. I think i can say for everyone that we love to hear more stories and adventures.
that was really interesting Chief - loved the feelings which showed through quite admirably - More Please!
Excellent! Very interesting.
Thank you! Cheers!
This podcast was great and very interesting. I am looking forward to hear more from you. Thank you.
Thank you very much for making your podcasts available in English Chief ☺.
Chief, you are a great story-teller. Thank you for this podcast. I enjoyed hearing about how you started your seafaring career. I look forward to the next podcasts. Cheers from Liz and Ginger (pic left) in Australia.
Enjoy all your videos. It’s nice to hear how individuals start their careers.
Very interesting Chief! Looking forward for the next episode!
