Pinoys in Hong Kong Celebrate Dragon Boat Festival

Today, Hong Kong is celebrating Dragon Boat Festival, one of the most
popular festivals here, and more importantly, the whole of Hong Kong
gets a day off work to participate in the racing and festivities.

Tradition, excitement and lots of color - That’s all part of the of this holiday,
including the Dragon Boat racing. Originally enjoyed among traditional Chinese,
but has now evolved into a popular international sport. Many are coming to
beaches of Stanley, Discovery Bay, and some parts of Hong Kong to watch
the event.

Unfortunately, the holiday falls on Tuesday. If we’re in Philippines, we could
be enjoying a long weekend holiday because the government will surely move
it a day earlier, but we’re not. Sorry me

OH by the way, this coming June 23 & 24, Saturday and Sunday, HKSAR -
International Dragon Boat Races will celebrate it’s 10th year. Many teams
coming from different countries including our kababayans in Philippines will be
seen in action.

Be there in Victoria Harbour and let’s cheer for Philippine Dragon team!
