Welcome to Parola!

Behind every seafarer is a heart that yearns for home.

Our docuseries Kwentong Marino is out now!

Here at Parola, we believe in...

Togetherness & Kapwa

No one should face life at sea alone. By sharing stories and supporting each other, we build a strong and caring community for seafarers and their families.

Kindness & Empathy

Every seafarer has a unique journey. We listen with open hearts and with each story, extend our respect, care, and understanding.

Knowledge is Power

By highlighting real stories, we aim to inform and support. The more we understand the life at sea, the better we can care for those who live it.

Honoring the Journey

We celebrate the hard work, sacrifices, and resilience of seafarers and their families. We are here to shine a light on their everyday strength.
