BORACAY PARAW REGATTA BEGINS
Boracay Island, Feb. 20, 1998 - All the paraws in Boracay are ready for the Fourth Annual Boracay Paraw Regatta and International Arts Festival which gets underway this weekend.
The two-day event, an undertaking of the National Centennial Commission, will have three divisions: A, B and C. The regatta will be managed by the Philippine Sailing Association, headed by Claudio Altura, and will feature fabulous prizes for all three categories.
The festival is ushered in Friday by artists who will paint the Paraw sails. In the evening, an art auction is set, followed by a whole night of dancing at Beachcomber.
The races will actually run Saturday and Sunday with the grand awards to be presented Sunday night during a grand musical fiesta starring popular musicians and singers invited for the event.
