Balangay voyage

The ‘balangay’ boats Sultan Sin Sulu, Sama Tawi-Tawi and Lahi ng Maharlika dock at the port of Manila on Thursday ahead of an expedition to China. Headed by former Environment Undersecretary Art Valdez and the Kaya ng Pinoy Team, the expedition aims to underscore the Filipino identity as a seafaring race and awaken a sense of national pride. The boats came from Bacolod, Zamboanga and Sulu, and will set sail for La Union, Hong Kong, and Shantou, Quanzhou and Xiamen in China. Ey Acasio
