It was on first month on my last contract in Norwegian majesty of the Norwegian Cruise Line, when Bro Melvin Magsino (Batangas) came to my cabin with a down loaded copy of our seal, we agreed that we should come up with a sort of uniform, so I called my wife to come up with at least 5 shirts since there were only 4 of us, Brods Red Mira, Edrex de Castro(Las Piñas) and me.

One night i decided to wear the fratshirt in White Horse, a very nice pub just outside the Port in St. George, Bermuda, there i chanced upon Bro. Ben Macalalad (Lyceum of Batangas ), he was so glad to meet a fellow Triskelion, after a few weeks 2 brods from Bicol came on board, Brods Francis Sergio and Aldwyn Maggay, then followed by Bro Wilson Martinez from Montalban, a week later we formalized our first meeting, we started by introducing ourselves and fraternity background we then agreed that Tuesdays nights would be Seal Night .

We get together in the Park sneak out some pulutan and indulge ourselves with cuba libre (Bacardi Limon with coke) our official drink, one Tuesday night i went back to the ship to get some chips when i came across Bro Allan Gamulo (FEU) he is our hotel comptroller, a senior officer of the ship. We then shook hands and introduced ourselves, since then when we have our crew party when officers of the ship tend the bar for the crew, you will always find Bro Allan proudly wearing his frat shirt. Some of the bros now are in different ships , but they are out there to organize all Triskelions in the whole fleet of 13 ships as what we started in Norwegian Majesty, Bro edrex is still in Majesty and I was told that one day he was wearing his frat shirt in Cozumel, Mexico and almost 20 brods came up to him from different cruiselines to shake his hand!
