There was a cousin of mine name Bonifasio "Felino" Setik. He was working on one of the Japanese fishing vessel which is Taiyo Pohnpei. He has been working on that ship for two and half years. Last year he got engaged to a Mortlockese woman, and later they both had a beautiful 6 months old baby girl. On the month of May this year was the last time to see his family before heading back out into the ocean again.

On June 08, 2017, families were informed by the company Felino worked for that he was lost at sea . On June 07, 2017, Taiyo Pohnpei was anchoring somewhere near Papua New Guinea and the crew were cleaning on deck and as well as the side port and starboard of the ship. During lunch time, the crew wrapped up and went back inside the ship except Felino and one of the Pohnpeian guys. They were staying outside for a while until the other guy told Felino to go on in with him to have their lunch, Felino replied, he will be in shortly, So, the other guy left him. During lunch time, when they were all gathered for lunch, they realized that Felino was not among the crew. So during that moment they start looking for him around the ship, above and below deck, but he was no where to be found. Later on, they even send out their helicopters to search the ocean as well as other ships in the area to help with the search. They search for weeks and he was no where to be found. So, until now they really don't know what exactly happen to him.

A week later, the family decided to rest his soul in peace. So they sail out in the Pohnpeian sea and prayed for him. We might say our goodbyes, but it doesn't mean forever or the end. It simply means we'll miss you until we meet again.. Therefore, only God knows what exactly happened during that day, so our faith in god is the only cure for our deepest grief that will help us learn to go on without you.
The family had grown very fond of you. Our love for you had becomes memories in which will be treasured forever and ever..
We loved you so much, and God loves you even more. God has you in His arms, and we have you in our hearts.
You are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure.
Your life was a blessing, and we love you and thank you for everything you've done. And most of all, you will be forever in our hearts.
Love:
Your families.
so sad Tatiana....I hope they will find him soon.
