THE Siargao International Surfing Festival will celebrate its 26th year starting Oct. 15 until Oct. 21.
During the pandemic, the World Surf League, United Philippine Surfing Association, and the participating government bodies have been planning for this event to help local surfers qualify for a spot in the 2023 World Surf League Challenger Series. But this year, it’s more than just that.
The 2022 Siargao International Surfing Festival is a tribute to the people of Surigao who, while facing challenges beyond control, still show strength in spirit and continue to cultivate camaraderie in the community through surfing.
Many activities are lined up in the hopes of promoting the entire #BangonSiargao movement. This year is more than just a competition—it is a celebration for the
Surigaonons who became stronger through staying together. (PR)
