A grieving father has taken to social media to seek answers and support regarding the mysterious disappearance of his son, a Filipino seafarer who went missing nearly a month ago while aboard a cargo ship.

Ely Bongalon Bobiles Jr., father of the missing seafarer, Ralph Anthony Bobiles, shared his anguish and desperation in a heartfelt post, appealing to the public and government agencies for assistance.

“When I learned my son went missing, I was consumed by worry. Each passing day without news about him feels like an eternity, and my heart is shattered into a million pieces thinking about what could have happened to him,” Bobiles wrote.

Ralph Anthony Bobiles, a devoted son, brother, husband, and father of three young children, was serving aboard the cargo ship Prestige Ace, registered under the Panamanian flag. The vessel was en route from Vera Cruz Port, Mexico, to Baltimore Port, USA, when Ralph went missing.

Bobiles made a plea to his son’s colleagues onboard the ship, saying, “I know from the bottom of my heart that Ralph had been a good friend to all of you. Please help us with any information that will lead us to the truth about his disappearance.”

The family’s grief is compounded by the lack of closure. “My son is more than just a seafarer; he’s the heartbeat of our family,” Bobiles said, his voice breaking with emotion. Ralph’s three children had eagerly awaited his return last Christmas, hoping for their father to bring them presents.

“I am also pleading to all concerned government agencies and offices to help us fast-track the investigation,” Bobiles implored.

The disappearance of Ralph Anthony Bobiles has brought a family to its knees, struggling with the uncertainty and pain of not knowing their loved one’s fate. The father’s post has resonated with netizens, who have offered prayers and shared the post to spread awareness.

Bobiles concluded his plea with an emotional call for help: “As a father, it’s unbearable not knowing my son’s fate. Please help me reunite with my son. Any details, no matter how small, can help us bring Ralph home.”

The family is urging anyone with information about Ralph Anthony Bobiles to come forward, emphasizing that prayers and support are invaluable during this difficult time.
