Regatta de Zamboanga  is a colorful banca race (carera de vintas) depicting colorful sails designed by the fishermen themselves and proudly displayed during the competition. The vivid colors in the sea are an awesome sight to behold.

Thanks to the Department of Tourism (DOT) staff and their request to the Coast Guard, I was able to ride one rubber speed boat so I can shoot the racers and follow them excitingly at sea.
