The Singapore Dragons, an international dragon boat team, paid a courtesy visit on Governor Arthur Defensor Jr. today at the Iloilo Provincial Capitol ahead of their participation in the Iloilo City Charter Day Dragon Boat Regatta 2.0.
Joined by the Iloilo Dragons, the team’s visit symbolized not only the strong spirit of camaraderie in sports but also the growing international linkages Iloilo continues to build. Governor Defensor warmly welcomed the athletes, thanking them for choosing Iloilo as part of their racing journey.
He further noted that beyond sports, Iloilo remains open to forging stronger ties with Singapore including potential investment opportunities that could bring long-term benefits to local communities.
The Singapore Dragons’ presence in Iloilo sets the stage for the upcoming Dragon Boat Regatta on August 21–24, 2025, an event expected to energize local tourism, inspire athletes, and foster cultural exchange.
