The Colors of the Brave WRITTEN BY MDPN. DANIEL JUSTINE BELONIO PHOTOS BY CHESTER ALAN BACHOCO

T

he great azure oceans have always charmed humanity ever since the dawn of their existence, as it can be furious and gentle because it is where the ruthless and imposing Poseidon dwells, as his realm gave birth to gods, goddesses, and monsters alike. Such as Charybdis who currently endures an unending thirst for the sea, as she creates whirlpools to swallow sailors who are unfortunate enough to get too close to her, thus meeting their horrifying ends, and Scylla who stays close to Charybdis near a narrow strait, vaguely luring sailors into a false sense of relief and then feasts on them. Poseidon’s realm is unforgiving for humans, yet there are brave individuals who will dare venture into his inhospitable domain. Humans are regarded as the brave ones that come in diverse personalities and in prism colors, they will stop at nothing even if it is a god or a powerful monster blocking their path, they tread on ignoring such entities because they know that they are lucky to be blessed by their presence. Chester Alan O. Bachoco is one of these individuals regarded as the brave, 24 years young, he is able to face adversities with his head held high as he continues to walk and slay within Poseidon’s realm. The medium that the brave uses are ships— a top peak product of human creativity, engineering, and craftsmanship. Ships are used for various situations and they differ in design, purpose, and unique qualities. The world of the shipping industry is not for the faint of heart, as it is where time is literally money, as it has been growing steadily for years through trade, transport, and charter. As the backbone of world trade, it is estimated that 80 percent of all goods are carried by sea and it is stated that the value of the global maritime container trade is estimated to be worth 60 percent of all seaborne trade. To put into account, it is worth 14 trillion U.S. dollars in 2019. This is such a huge load and expectations the brave has to carry and keep standard.
