It’s sad that more and more passengers are becoming disappointed with SS Pilipitnas’ newly installed ship captain Bienvenido Noyalastik, B-Noy for short. B-Noy is supported by a crew which he was given the authority to organize as a concession. He was also given the prerogative to fire personnel whenever he saw fit. The previous captain, Ma. Guloria (Maguloria for short) Barroyot, and some of her crew were fired just three months ago for gross incompetence that drew mounting complaints from passengers for a period of 10 agonizing years. They had to go. The ship owners had hoped the new hires would restore the liner’s fitness to participate anew in the competitive business of seafaring. Maguloria Barroyot was also suspected as having caused the larcenous disappearance of all the ship’s expensive equipment. The new complement were thus expected to introduce those changes that would rebuild public confidence, but those changes were slow in coming. The trouble is that B-Noy seems unprepared for the job as are some of his choice hires. He remains silent on management issues when he should speak up, speaks up when he should not, delegates authority when he should not, and does not delegate authority when he should. Anyway, here now is an eyewitness account of what happened during the SS Pilipitnas’ voyage last weekend. The sun had long set when the vessel was sailing through some shark-infested straits off the coast of Panay. B-Noy was in a foul mood because he had not slept well in a new bed the night before. Worse, strong winds suddenly kicked up creating high waves that violently rocked the boat and made him feel sick. ....
