Every drumbeat of the caller signals the splashing of the water by virtue of the synchronized strokes of the paddles. As the continuous beating of the drum progresses into varying paces of longs, power longs and hards, every paddler aims to give all the strengths that one can muster for the team’s dragon boat to reach the finish line. Despite the varying personalities that we all have in Bugsay Marajao, we have come to adjust and match our personalities with each other as a team because of the love for dragon boat. The spirit that we have is what binds us together: the spirit to learn, the spirit to achieve and the spirit of working as a team. Strangers we may be at the start, with close to 60 paddlers and myriad of faces, i.e. the young ones (students, young professionals and businessmen) and the “once young” who are fondly dubbed as the “masters,” the once frail bond has been strengthened through time. Just like any other voluntary, free-membership organizations, many paddlers come for a reason or two, a few may have left, but for those who stayed through the test of time, we come to share the same aspirations as we rub elbows with people from all walks of life. Indeed, Bugsay Marajao Dragon Boat Team is an embodiment of the adage “Together Everyone Achieves More.” As the dragon symbolizes strength and vitality, each Bugsay Marajao paddler will continue to be the source of vigor for the other teammates. Each of us may have come to the team for different reasons, but we are united by the common goal of making a difference to our beloved Surigao City.

Q: Dragon Warriors Dubai

Dragon boat in the United Arab Emirates was popularized by Canadian expats in the mid-1990s. From there, the sport slowly grew among the international community. Filipinos began to dominate the sport when corporate teams from Abu Dhabi sponsored employees to train. Today, half of the paddlers competing in every race are Philippine expats. Hence, the Dragon Warriors Dubai (DWD) was organized by five former PDBF National Team paddlers and club crew members to be the first all-Filipino team in the league of competitive teams in the UAE. The Warriors' first regatta was the Abu Dhabi Volvo race held in November 2011, followed by the Dubai Festival Races in April 2012. Today, DWD continues to train every evening on weekdays and every morning on weekends. Trainings are open to everyone, regardless of age, sex, or athletic ability. The team's mission, apart from competitiveness, is to encourage more Filipinos in Dubai to embrace a healthier lifestyle. During international races, DWD represents both the flags of the Philippines and the UAE. For more information, visit their Facebook page .

Q: Bakunawa Dragon Boat Team

Thanks to Arjun'a Actub for the information on this team! Team Bakunawa is a fledgling, motley crew of fun-loving, crazy, and eager-to-learn individuals from Iligan City. The term "do-it-yourself" has never been more apt for any other team, as Bakunawa started by building their own dragon boat named "Baku" (with "no experience of building anything in their lives," according to Actub) and learning their paddling technique from videos and tutorials on the Internet. As a team comprised mostly of out-of-school youth and "tambays", Actub credits dragon boat with empowering them with discipline and healthier living habits. Team Bakunawa is eager to expand their team and, of course, the sport of dragon boat in Mindanao region, so to become a member of this pioneering team, contact them at 09122302866 or look for them on Facebook . Let's look out for them in more races in the future!
