Introduction

Welcome to the second online lesson of the International Christian Maritime Association's Ahoy! course. This lesson is about 'traditional' culture in the Philippines - basic realities of what Filipinos believe, what they expect of others, and what they like to do that are relatively stable from year to year.

    This lesson was designed by Kevin Walker (NAMMA), with the assistance of Fr. Lito Capeding (Stella Maris, Mobile, Alabama), Pastor Mario Biazon (Norfolk Seamen's Friend Society), Joseph Loot (Ph.D Student, Dalhousie University, and Assistant Manager, Halifax Mission to Seafarers), Dr. Nelson Turgo (Seafarers' International Research Centre, University of Cardiff), and Bien Carlo Galapon (Gold Foundation - Manila). Course videos were edited Dr. Jason Zuidema and Bien Carlo Galapon.
