“I am proud to be a Filipino here on board to impact the lives of local people,” said Rex Quiño (Philippines), reflecting on Logos Hope’s arrival in his country. Rex has been involved with OM Ships International since he was a port volunteer on sister ship Doulos in his home city of Manila. He joined Doulos as a crewmember in Cebu in 2009, transferred to Logos Hope when Doulos was decommissioned and will leave the ship in Manila in March. As the volunteer coordinator he is now handling many of the people he befriended during Doulos’ visit to Cebu three years ago. He is excited to see a lot of his friends visiting the ship. “It’s amazing to see them learning about the reality of what it is like on board the ship,” he added.
