The Diwata ng Lahi, a replica of the ancient Balangay boat, went out for a test sail in Manila Bay on July 11 2009. A group of Filipinos, partly made up of the Philippine Everest Expedition team members, reconstructed the Balangay and will attempt to sail it around the Philippines, through South East Asia, and eventually across the Pacific Ocean all the way to Africa. The reconstruction is based on a relic that was excavated by archeologist from the National Museum during the late 1970s. The boat was launched in Manila last June 27 2007, and will go on a test sail for several weeks, before the crew sets on its voyage that will take them around the Philippines. It will visit several ports all over the archipelago on a route that will cover around 2,108 nautical miles or 3,908 km, ending in Tawi-Tawi at the tip of the Sulu Archipelago, before it embarks into foreign waters.

In the late 1970s, archaeologists from the Philippine National Museum excavated a wooden boat that was radiocarbon dated at year 320. It was the first wooden watercraft excavated in Southeast Asia and a significant evidence of early Filipino marine craftsmanship and their attempts at open-sea travel. It became known as the <i>balangay</i>, a term adapted from the chronicles of Antonio Pigafetta, the Italian scribe who accompanied the explorer Ferdinand Magellan, in the 16th century. Constructed from carved-out planks attached through pins or dowels, this type of boat was supposedly used by early Filipinos to travel from the Southeast Asian archipelago to farther points of the Pacific Ocean. A group of Filipinos, partly made up of the Philippine Everest Expedition team members, reconstructed the Balangay and will attempt to sail it around the Philippines, through South East Asia, and eventually across the Pacific Ocean all the way to Africa. The 15 meters long and three meters wide replica, named the <i>Diwata ng Lahi</i>, was constructed with aid from the Badjao boat builders of the island of Sibutu in Tawi-Tawi, who acquired the skills handed down through generations. It was built with the same techniques and materials used during the time of the excavated <i>balangay</i>. The crew will also sail using traditional nature-based navigational techniques without the aid of modern technology. The boat was launched on June 27 2007 in Manila, Philippines. The crew will test the boat in Manila Bay for two weeks, before they set sail on their voyage that will take it around the Philippines. It will visit several ports all over the archipelago on a route that will cover around 2,108 nautical miles or 3,908 km, ending in Tawi-Tawi at the tip of the Sulu Archipelago, before it embarks into foreign waters.

Located at an elevation of almost 1000 meters above the remote Alah Valley region in South Mindanao, Lake Sebu considered as one of the most important bodies of water in the Philippines. It is an essential source of irrigation to the rice fields in provinces of South Cotabato and Sultan Kudarat, and Since 1985, the area has been proclaimed as Protected Landscape. and conservation efforts involving the local communites, such as reforestation of grasslands and bamboo plantations, have been implemented by the government. The area is home to the T'boli's, a tribe of people indegenous to South Mindanao, who have existed in this area, and practically lived the same way, for centuries. Anthropologist claim that they are of proto-Malayan stock with language similar to Indonesian, but their actual origin has long been lost in lore. Through the years, the T'bolis have inevitably assimilated into modern society. As the younger tribal members gain education and professional success, there is a growing concern that the old ways are dying and efforts should be made to protect a way of life that has existed in for centuries. Each year the T'bolis celebrate the 'Helubong Festival'. A feast of thanksgiving for good harvest & abundance, as well as a celebration of the arts and culture of the T'boli people, the festival is also part of an ongoing effort to protect the T'boli heritage and culture.
