Pinoy Dragon Boat Champion Rowers Add Two More Golds!

Minimal support, maximum glory.

The Philippine Dragon Boat Team has struck gold twice more, winning the 200m Small Boat event and the 500m Premier Open Mixed event.

Their four golds have already exceeded the exploits of any other national team this year, a fact that seems to have escaped the attention of local media outlets and government officials.

With the competitions drawing to a close on Sunday, the Pinoy paddlers affectionately called the "Dragon Warriors" still have a chance to reap even more glory for the Philippines.

Pinoy Dragon Boat Rowers Are Pauper-Champions!

If a team wins the world championship in 2007, defends its title in 2009 and is still the team to beat in 2011, don't you think they deserve a little recognition?

Evidently, we Pinoy don't. And that is why our world champion Pinoy Dragon Boat rowers are reduced to begging for funding so they can defend their title this August in Tampa Bay, USA.

Calling P-Noy, MVP, Go Teng Kok and other sports benefactors!!! Can we please give our champions a chance?
