Filippinske sømandskoner nu kontakt m Søfartsmuseet Kronborg
Juni/juli 2011.
Foreningen har stadig kontakt med de filippinske sømandskoner. Senest er kontakten blevet udvidet med museumsinspektør Torkil Adsersen fra Søfartsmuseet ved Kronborg i Helsingør. Jeg skrev til Alice Lamigo, og fortalte at Torkil Adsersen ønsker kontakt med dem, og her er svaret fra Alice, som samtidig er meget oplysende.

Dear Birgit,
Thanks for your message and concern for the families of seafarers here in the Philippines. It's true we have different cultural heritage, but one destination: a joyful fulfilled life with the Lord.
About 34 years ago I was at Copenhagen with my seafaring spouse. This was the last country I visited before I flew for Amsterdam with him to catch up with the ship "MS General Valdes," and then home alone via Singapore Airlines. The ship was on a tramping voyage. He was the Chief Engineer.
I've known several seafarers' wives at different ports with limited bonding time and I've been missing them. When my husband passed away in 1998, I received sympathy messages and prayers from them,
Filipino seafarers' families are special in three visible aspects. One, they are lifelong honeymooners. Second, their lifestyle is unique, series of departures and homecomings. Third, parenting is shouldered by the wife at home and at a distance by the seafarer. However, marriage of seafarer are not always lifelong existing and blessed. A few or more are "broken" caused by in-laws' intervention, alluring women on board ships at ports, lack of communication and limited bonding, seafarers' wives failure to budget allotment, working wives' failure to attain the children's emotional and psychological needs and incurable illnesses. There are other minor reasons, but can easily be reconciled.
Mr. Adsersen can contact me by e-mail with regards to the Filipino family prevailing concerns and impact on the values and norms of Filipino seafarers relationship on board the ship, at ports, and at home.
On Sunday, 26th of June, all SWAPI will meet at the Aristocrat Restaurant to witness the oathtaking of Melly Pagunsan as Chairperson of our Credit Cooperative (SWAPCO). Certainly, I will bring the message from you to everyone. I am sure our officers will be happy and will feel your spiritual presence as if you were with us.
Regards and hugs,
Alice

Brev fra Alice - formand for de filippinske sømandskoner
Hilsen fra Alice, SWAPI – Seaman Wives Association of the Philippines Inc.
Dear Birgit,
We received your e-mail long time ago.
I am glad that you are concerned of the family life of Filipino seafarers.
Sad to mention of the hostage crisis of seafarers in Somalia. We are one universal family victimized by this satanic piracy. I hope and pray that we overcome this global crisis.
I had been busy attending to household chores and meeting the needs of SWAPI members.
We celebrated SWAPI 32nd Foundation Day last January 28, 29, and 30 at Puerto Princesa, Palawan where the world famouse underground river is located. Our SWAPI Chapter in Palawan hosted the anniversary celebrations.
How are you these days? You've perhaps read in the papers of the earthquake and tsunami that devastated Japan. I am emotionally affected because I was in those cities and I enjoyed the courtesy of Japanese Seafarers's families there.
We are also under threat of these natural calamities today. We have awareness lectures and instructions on what to do in times of these disasters.
We tried to organize a committee to meet Mrs. Ma. Connie Gehrt, but we did not get her schedule and details of her coming to the Philippines. Where is she now?
Regards and hello to all Danish Seafarers' wives.
Be Well,
Alice

Melly Pagunsan på gennemrejse..
Formanden for SWAPI Alice Lamigo havde séndt mig en ret kort mail, to dage tidligere, at Melly Pagunsan ville opholde sig nogle timer i København under en gennemrejse.. Det var midt i september..
Med den smule information jeg havde fået, tog det nogle timer at finde hende. Jeg måtte give rejselederen frokost først, og så endelig fandt jeg Melly. Gensynsglæden var stor. Og naturligvis havde hun gaver med til mig. Filippinere giver mange gaver og er ekstremt gæstfrie! Vi havde det sjovt sammen, da jeg besøgte den filippinske sømandskoneforening SWAPI i februar 2009. Så det var rigtig dejligt at se Melly igen. Vi havde kun ca 5 timer sammen, så der var ikke tid til at køre hjem til mig. Men til alt held var min veninde i Valby hjemme, og gav gerne en kop kaffe. Melly nød at gå rundt og se, hvordan et dansk hjem er indrettet, ligesom hun var optaget af, hvilke planter vi har i haven.
Melly fortalte at bestyrelsen ude i Manila planlægger at komme og besøge Sømandskoneforeningen af 1976 ved vores næste Landsgeneralforsamling i 2011. Det bliver på Ærø. Og det bliver spændende... om de kommer ... hvor mange der kommer... og hvor længe de vil blive...? Hvis de kommer, får vi noget at se til... vi har meget at "betale tilbage"...
Birgit.
