Hi, it's time for another travel blog - but this is specifically for the event I attended in Subic. I just want to share it as my travel blog since it is my first time in Subic and the experience I had was amazing. I expect nothing but then again, it's travel so it's gonna be fun (I told myself). I got to see a lot of good sights along the way plus the event make the experience more adventurous as we tried: kayak and sailboat. Not to mention, that there's a rave party that night...
Subic Bay - an excellent harbour to its geographical location and serves as the premier yacht racing destination in the Philippines and is truly a sailing haven. Regular regattas are being held in Subic Bay not just to promote its tourism but to enhance yachtsman-ship for international competitions and foster camaraderie among sailors. It has become a playground for Grand Prix keelboats from various countries as they compete in the prestigious international regattas hosted here in our country. As they set course to another season of the Philippine Sailing Grand Prix, the annual Commodore’s Cup Regatta that has been attracting hundreds of top-notch sailors from all over the globe has been rebranded as “Chairman’s Cup Regatta” to commemorate the leadership that is at the helm of the agency that has played a significant role in the development of the Subic Bay Freeport and the Special Economic Zone. This event is organized by the Subic Sailing Club headed by Mr. Jun Avecilla, Chairman of the organizing committee. The inaugural Chairman’s Cup Regatta took place on April 25-30, 2019, few days after the awarding of the first edition of the Hong Kong to Puerto Galera Yacht Race - a classic 650nm passage to Puerto Galera that ends on April 21, Easter Sunday. The Chairman’s Cup Regatta envisioned to breed the next generation of sailors that will give pride and honor to the country and will continue their legacy as a maritime nation. “We hope that this event will not only produce a new generation of Filipino sailors but also give honor to our rich maritime heritage,” said Zed Avecilla, Executive Director of the Subic Sailing Club. Sailing, whether a sport or a recreational activity builds character as the skills acquired go far beyond of controlling a boat that can be applied in real life. It enhances creativity, confidence, teamwork, communication, determination, independence and performance are some of the specific character attributes nurtured through sailing. The highlight of the Chairman’s Cup Regatta (CCR) is the FarEast 28R One-Design Race with eight boats in the division. Other Keel Boat divisions will include IRC Class 1, IRC Class 2 and Cruising Class. There will also be a Dinghy Division composed of the Optimist Class, Streaker Class and the Oz Gooze Class which took place on April 25-26, 2019. To cap off the event, there will be local and international DJs together with one of the top leading bands in the country. This 5-day event attracts thousands of Filipino sailors and non-sailors to the most exciting and competitive world of yacht racing in the country with among the top-notch sailors around the globe. But let s not forgot the goal of the event" which it aims to encourage the general public to know more information about the sport as well as Philippine’s maritime industry and hopefully encourage more people to explore our maritime roots. I hope you learned a thing or two on this blog that Subic truly offers a lot of things when it comes to tourism. But one thing I realized the most on this adventure is that I enjoyed going in Subic in which it makes me want to go back again and try more amazing water activities too. Congratulations to Subic Sailing Club for the successful event you guys organized and congratulations Chairman's Cup Regatta! Cheers and more success in sailing and boating activities here in the Philippines. It was bright, sunny day when my high school friends decided to go somewhere where we will reunite, chill and have fun at the same time. We went on cruising at 4 in the afternoon around Taal Lake, Batangas. Definitely I had fun bonding with my friends - did a lot of catching up, took a lot of pictures and we enjoyed our whole boating trip because we have this refreshing Sola Iced Tea that definitely quenched our thirst and made the whole trip even better. I just wanna share with you why Sola Iced Tea became my favorite travel go-to drink... 5 Amazing Facts about Sola Iced Tea: 1. Sola is a simple mixture of black tea leaves, natural fruit flavors, water and sugar. 2. Sola is a ready to drink, non-carbonated and non-alcoholic beverage. 3. This is what I love the most - Sola Iced Tea is all natural and real brewed using only the finest ingredients. (no artificial preservatives, colors and flavors are used in the production of Sola.) 4. Sola is pasteurized and vacuum packed in a durable 473-ml glass bottle. (meaning it incorporates a safety metal cap that pops up when the original seal is broken.)... and lastly, 5. The water used in the production of SOLA undergoes a treatment called Reverse Osmosis. (Reverse Osmosis is one of the best methods known today to purify water.) You can now also have Sola Iced Tea in can— just visit any of the following branches of 711 nationwide, Lawsons, All Day, Landmark, Cash & Carry, Hi-Top, Makati Supermarket, San Miguel Avenue, Unimart and Robinsons Supermarket in Metro Manila. It's a perfect experience when you try it with your friends. Cheers! www.solaicedtea.comThank you Sola Iced Tea! Cheers to more adventures with you. www.solaicedtea.com | @solaicedtea I hope you can all visit and roam around Taal Lake also in Talisay, Batangas. You'll definitely enjoy everything and I can say that the beauty of God's creation is truly amazing. See you in my next adventure.
