DUMAGUETE CITY, Negros Oriental - The Diwata ng Lahi (Fairy of the Race), a replica of a historical Balangay wooden boat used by Indo-Malay families in their vast sea travel during pre-Hispanic times, sailed into the calm waters of the Dumaguete port, Wednesday, on its way to Mindanao and beyond.
“After five months and seven typhoons since we left Manila, we have arrived in Dumaguete,” said former Transportation and Communication Undersecretary Arturo Valdez, the leader of the Balangay mission who also organized the Philippine Mt. Everest expedition.
