DAET, Camarines Norte, April 3 (PIA) – Fiftheen (15) local and foreign show pilots joined the 2nd Daet International Aerosports Show, now showcasing anew this town in the reign of water sports events in the country and in the world, held at the Bagasbas Beach of this town March 27-30 this year.
The show featured foreign pilots like David Graupera (Spain), paramotor display pilot instructor; Masaya Nakanome (Japan), display pilot instructor; Paul Banks (Poland), competition pilot; Karl Kreiple (Austria), tandem pilot instructor; Mark Gambril (USA), quad paramotor pilot; Jeremy Caroll (New Zealand), paramotor paraglider pilot; Joachim Katz and Jumbo Dirk both of Germany, paraggliders.
Other show pilots from the country were Joseph Oncada, tandem paraglider pilot; Buko Raymundo, air sports specialist; Carla Montero, XC pilot national team; Albert Mendoza, microlite pilot; Christopher Romano, service crew; Jet Acuna and Raymund Lumabad both paragliders.
Jeremy Caroll of New Zealand, paramotor paraglider pilot lauded the local government unit of Daet for sponsoring the event adding that the Bagasbas Beach is a very nice area in aerosports and he really enjoyed the place. He also teaches visitors in paramotor paragliding during the duration of the show.
Earlier during the press briefing Mayor Tito Sarion said that the event is an opportunity for Daet to be known in aerosports show especially now that there was no hot-air balloon in Pampanga.
The event is in partnership with the Philippine Paragliding and Hang-gliding Association (PPHGA), Mike Kites, the local kite boarding school in Daet and Bagasbas Beach Development Council.
He said that the Bagasbas Beach festival was added this year in order to cover activities like surfing and kiteboarding. In 2009, 2010 and 2011 kiteboarding international competitions were also sponsored by the local government of Daet, he said.
He said that the Bagasbas Beach in Daet was established as the 61st surfing point of the world. It can be promoted as best for beginners because it is not as big as Siargao in Surigao del Norte. Mike Kites offers surfing and kiteboarding clinic for a minimal fee, he said.
He said that Mike Gambril of USA, owner of Mike Kites, who was married to a Pilipina is now based in Bagasbas and was very supportive to promote the tourism of Daet. Gambril together with Kite Tour Asia introduced him to the PPHGA and eventually we agreed to initiate the 1st Daet international paraggliding and hang-gliding competition in March last year, he said.
“We really need to promote aerosports to be known and popular, we have already started and we need the private sector to help us especially businessmen, hotel owners and among others who also wanted to invest in this kind endeavor, he said.
The other surfing destinations in the country aside from the Bagasbas Beach in Daet are in the Baler, Aurora; San Juan La Union; Siargao, Surigao del Norte and Bura France in Catanduanes, he said.
“We also have here in Bagasbas Beach a fiber optic, a submarine cable communication line of the Philippine Long Distance Telecommunications (PLDT) that connects us to other Asian country”. The area was chosen for the project because there is no fault line here, he said.
Cory Quirino, a television host of Thumbs-up of ANC channel who also grace the opening said that she appreciated the events lined up because there are activities in environment and disaster like the Bicol Ecological Camp on Outdoor Activities and Disaster Risk Reduction Awareness and Climate Change Adaptation campaign as well as the Observance of Earth Hour.
