Diwata ng Lahi anchored at PPA port in Butuan City
Local Historians Father Joesilo Amalla and Greg Hontiveros were equally excited who for a moment experienced how it feels to ride the historic boat-Balangay.
Who would have thought that a group of Filipinos will recreate a boat used by our ancestors, the Austronesian-speaking people for trading. Balangay was first mentioned in the 16th Century in the Chronicles of Pigafetta, and is known as the oldest Pre-Hispanic watercraft found in the Philippines.
