Dragon Boat Team paddlers

The Pinoy Dragon Warriors and the Army Dragon Boat team joined forces to help in the disaster response operations of the Armed Forces of the Philippines in Masantol town, Pampanga in October 2011.

Listening to the sentiments of the affected residents of Sagrada village


Residents are forced to drink water from submerged artesian wells


I helped the PAF pilot navigate and land in a narrow helipad


My soldier-athletes are thrown to action
