Countries from around the world will be competing in more than 10 Categories for Men, Women & Mixed Teams

TEAM COMPOSITION

BPAi is now in the process of selecting 40 of the more than 120 members to make up the official team composition. Selection of team members will be based on physical strength, mental attitude, sense of teamwork and financial capacity

BOHOL'S FIRST- EVER PARTICIPATION

Bohol's participation in the forthcoming 2013 Penang Pesta Dragon Boat Race is very significant since it is the province's first- ever participation in an international dragon boat race. 

So far, initial talks with the prov'l govt and the private sector has been positive

According to Rey Tirol, one of BPAi's stalwarts said that Bohol's participation is a perfect opportunity for the province to gain not only exposure and experience but also an excellent marketing tool for the province to promote its tourism industry

Our participation is in congruence with our group's vision to make Bohol the paddling capital of Bohol
We need all the support in terms of financial assistance to help defray the group's expenses especially with the travel requirements & fees, meals & accomodations 

Ultimately, this would benefit not only the resorts & hotels but also the cottage industries & Bohol tourism's allied & related services 
So what are you waiting for? Let's paddle away for Bohol in Penang, Malaysia
