"Never forget the roots of your family"

A little serious of our mind:

Try to imagine, that your grandchildren can´t speak with you in your language......

Learn your family the language of the roots, so your family - children can speak their language from childhood!

Learn your family the culture of the roots, so your family understand and respect the roots e.g. Mano Po!

Filipinos Set Sail in a 'Balangay'
Adventurers successfully launched a replica of an ancient Philippine boat - the balangay - that they will use to sail around Southeast Asia and possibly to Africa to promote Filipino pride and unity.

Art Valdez, Expedition Leader: This boat while we built it here in Manila, in the Philippines, is a Southeast Asian boat. It's a regional boat. We can not totally claim that it is a Filipino boat. But it's a way again of showing what the Malayo-Polynesians or the Indo-Malays have accomplished. They were known as great ship builders and seafarers. As a matter of fact, they were the equivalent of the Vikings of Asia.

Voyage of Two Balangays - Diwata Ng Lahi and Masawa Hong Butuan
Thousands of years ago, the ancestors of the Filipino people, the Austronesian speaking people traveled from the Asian mainland by land bridges across the continental shelf to the South East Asian archipelago. They then sailed onward to as far East as Polynesia, and as far West as Madagascar, aboard the ancient vessel: the Balangay

The reproduction of the traditional warship called the karakoa —a Filipino boat built without nails but was three times faster than a Spanish galleon

Look the article HERE

Look the logo-photo in the original size HERE

The Flying Karakoa
was a sleek Philippine warship that was smooth and swift in comparison to the Spanish galleons. Father Combes, one of the first Spanish Fryars to document early Philippine history (1667-70) said, "The care and technique with which they build them makes their ships sail like birds, while ours are like lead in comparison."
