A Journey Rooted in Culture. 🇵🇭

Before roads connected our islands, the sea did.

For generations, Filipinos especially across the Visayas and Mindanao were navigators, fishermen, and voyagers. The ocean wasn't a barrier. It was our home, our livelihood, and our way of life.

Today, that same spirit lives on through the Philippine Outrigger Canoe Club (POCC).

More than a sports club, we are a community committed to preserving the legacy of Filipino seafaring through outrigger canoeing.

Every time we paddle, We carry our culture honoring the traditions of our maritime ancestors.

We carry our community bringing together people from all walks of life who share one purpose.

We carry our commitment to conservation protecting the oceans that have shaped our identity through environmental initiatives and community outreach.

This is who we are. This is what we do.

And now, we have the opportunity to carry the Philippine flag onto the VA’A world stage.

For the first time, a Philippine outrigger community will represent our country at the 2026 IVF World Sprint Championships in Singapore.

This journey endeavors our commitment that the Philippines has always been a nation of seafarers, and that this heritage continues to thrive today.

To make this historic journey possible, we invite you to become part of it.

Whether you join our Paddle for a Cause Rookie Sessions our fundraising event or purchase our merchandise, Every act of support brings us closer to the championship.

🌊 Culture.
🤝 Community.
♻️ Conservation.

Be part of history. Be part of the journey.

We are grateful to each and every one for the help & support. MABUHI PILIPINAS! 🇵🇭
