'Dragon warriors' paddle to save flood victims | The Manila Bulletin Newspaper Online: "After watching TV footages of hapless people, even children and elderly, wading in neck-deep flood, members of the PDBT volunteered to paddle to rescue their countrymen from the devastating effects of the back-to-back typhoons – Pedring and Quiel – that battered the country in recent days.
Col. Arnulfo Burgos, Jr., chief of the Armed Forces Public Affairs Office, said the PDBT is assisting local governments, non-governmental groups, and those involved in relief and rescue efforts for two days, starting Sunday.
Army deputy spokesman and PDBT team manager, Maj. Harold Cabunoc, led the champion paddlers in the operations. Cabunoc said the team is using the actual dragon boat that they used in the recent world competition in Tampa, Florida, where they emerged as champion paddlers. Their victory was hailed by their countrymen, and the sports world."
