Iloilo River came alive once again as over 500 paddlers from 11 teams across the Philippines gathered on Nov. 24 for the much-anticipated return of the Iloilo River Dragon Boat Festival (IRDBF). The IRDBF is held for the first time since its last staging in 2018, with thrilling races in categories such as the Senior Mixed 200 meters, Women Small Boat, Mixed Standard Boat, and Open Standard Boat.
