A post from a netizen recently got viral and it was not because of a funny meme or an iconic content that made everyone stopped their tracks and read. Apparently, this is a tragic story about our co-Filipino who is in dire need of good help, but apparently, no one is hearing was attentive enough to hear their please.
Lindsey Letizia Gracia Corsino, who shared an intense but at the same time heart breaking story of his friend, Cristito M. Acosta, caught the attention of thousands of netizens today.
On her post, she explained that the 21 year old seaman suddenly got missing during his trip from Texas to South Africa.
Lindsey specifically clarified that Cristito was on Jiaolong Spirit ship.
"Siya po c Cristito M. Acosta. Kaibigan ko po siya. Siya po ay isang Seaman, siya ay 3rd Officer Junior ng Teekay sakay po ng barkong Jiaolong Spirit." Lindsey wrote on her post.
"Galing sila ng Texas patungong South Africa. Pero naantala na sila kasi nawawala na po siya noong April 23 ng gabi hanggang ngayon. Eto po yung nangyari." She explained.
"6:00 pm to 6:45, nagpa releave pa yung chief mate na naka duty ng 4pm to 8pm kaya siya muna [ang] humalili dahil magdi dinner yun. Tapos bumalik na yung nag dinner sa duty niya kaya si Cristito ay umalis na sa bridge ng 6:46.
Bandang 8pm, kasi 8pm to 12am ang duty niya, hindi na siya napunta sa duty niya. 8:05, tinawag siya pero wala pa din kaya na alarma na siya wala na siya at hinanap na sa cabina niya.
Hinanap na raw po cia ng mga US Navy, helicopter at mga vessel, at sa buong barko wala talga pero ngayon, dahil 3 days na, itinigil na raw po ang rescue, at itutuloy na yung ruta nila papuntang south africa." She continued.
"Masakit isipin na ganun lang kabilis uung pagha hanap at May 16 pa sila mag iimbistiga kasi dun pa lang sila dadaong sa port. Please, tulungan niyo po kami mapadali [ang] paghahanap sa kanya, nakikiusap po kami.
"Umaasa po kaming mahahanap pa siya at buhay pa. Kung nasaan ka man ngayon Cris, sana makita ka na. Nag aantay na sayo [ang] mga mahal mo sa buhay."
Is there any new update about Cristito's case and his whereabouts? Unfortunately, there is still no new reports about the seaman and his family hopes the government could do something about the issue. What can you say about this story?
