Album Info:

(DSC02837) Crew members include a hardy bunch of mountaineers, sailors from the Philippine Coast Guard and Sama seafarers, who steered the balangay along the coastlines of Luzon, the Visayas and Mindanao. The core crew members are Arturo Valdez, Janet Belarmino-Sardena, Carina Dayondon, Leo Oracion, Erwin Emata, Noelle Wenceslao, Dr. Ted Esguerra, Fred Jamili and Dr. Voltaire Velasco. In building the balangay, Valdez tapped members of the Sama ethnic group, a semi-nomadic seafaring tribe from Sibutu and Sitangkay in Tawi-Tawi, to make the boat, whose planks were fashioned from wood known in Sama as "lupanga" and its bow from "ubi-ubi".
