Ironman 70.3 Philippines

philwebsupport.com

Mabuhay! The stage is set for the inaugural Cobra Ironman 70.3 Philippines with the launch of the website and the official opening of registration.
“We had three goals during the conception of this event,” says Sunrise Events Inc. president Wilfred Steven Uytengsu, a triathlete himself. “First, we want to create a memorable experience for the triathletes. While the Philippines has not been seen as a major destination for triathlon, we offer a beautiful country with some of the most hospitable people in the world. We would like to develop this event and create the concept of “sports tourism.” So aside from the race, we hope to make this event interesting in many other regards. In addition to the camp offered by LifeSport, the official coaches of Ironman, we want to encourage triathletes and their families to explore other parts of this beautiful country. Hence, we will be developing a few tour packages for your consideration to make the trip even more memorable.

“Second, we want to develop the sport of triathlon in the Philippines. While the sport is still relatively small here, there has been significant growth in the past couple of years. As more and more people seek a healthier lifestyle, triathlon is well positioned to attract many new participants. One way of encouraging this is by offering relays. I am pleased WTC has agreed to this and we will have several categories in the relay division. (Men, Women, Mixed, Corporate and Collegiate). We believe that by offering relays, participants will discover the joy and challenge of completing all three disciplines.

“Third, we want to offer a first-rate event. We will be having a small professional field participate which is always exciting for age groupers. Our event is well timed for the pros (and age groupers alike) who hope to compete in Hawaii, since Ironman 70.3 Philippines is just seven weeks away from the Ford Ironman World Championship in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii. It also provides excellent training for the Foster Grant Ironman World Championship 70.3 in Clearwater, Florida. We are working closely with our partners and sponsors to ensure you have a unique experience that will encourage you to return year after year .

“I would like to thank our sponsors: Cobra Energy Drink, Globe Telecoms, Department of Tourism, Philippine Air Lines, Alaska Milk Corporation, Oakley, Timex, New Balance, SKI Construction and Gatorade for their support of the sport. I trust that their association with this annual event will be long and successful. I would also like to thank our local media partners ABS CBN Publishing, The Philippine Star and Solar Sports. Lastly, special thanks to Camarines Sur Governor LRay Villafuerte for his support and commitment to making this event a world-class success.”

Thank you for your interest and we look forward to seeing you in August.

Honest Filipino airport cops

Honesty has its own reward. For Corporals Eduardo Duran and Irvin Hawk of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) police, it’s a family holiday in any of the country’s top destinations.

The two honest cops were recognized by the Department of Tourism (DOT) for returning a black bag containing wads of Russian Rubbles and US Dollars equivalent to almost P500,000 cash. The owner of the bag turned out to be Russian tourist Sergey Zhelenzyak, who was with his family for a vacation in the country.

“The tourism industry commends people like Corporals Duran and Hawk who render excellent service and present the best of the country through their exemplary ways. We hope our small token of appreciation highlights their big deed,” said Durano. The cops, accompanied by M/Gen Angel Atutubo (Ret), Assistant General Manager of the Manila Airport Authority, paid a courtesy call at the DOT office.

Duran and Hawk, in an interview, mentioned that Zhelenzyak was profusely grateful to them for returning his bag, with the money and other contents which included a digital camera, intact.

“These gentlemen prove that our people are also one of the best reasons to visit the country. Even the finest, luxurious services can never outshine the warmth, honesty and sincerity of our people,” said Undersecretary Eduardo Jarque, Jr., Tourism Planning and Promotions.

The two airport cops found the bag unattended in one of the immigration counters at the NAIA. They reported the lost bag which had an identification tag in Russian writing, to their Intelligence Division. After paging for the owner and getting no response, Duran and Hawk tracked him down through his embarkation card at the Immigration Counter. They finally reached Zhelenzyak, who was already in Bacolod, through his travel agent.

The tourist told them that he didn’t expect to get his money back, which he was saving for a holiday in the country with his family. Zhelenzyak, who was on his fourth visit to the country, vowed to them that he will promote the Philippines and the commendable values of its people.

Duran has been an airport police for 10 years, while Hawk has rendered service for 27 years.
