Today's Doodle celebrates Regatta de Zamboanga, an annual sailing competition from the southern part of the Philippines. Every October, thousands of people gather along the kilometer-long stretch of R.T. Lim Boulevard in Zamboanga City to watch hundreds of vintas and their colorful sails race across the coastline.
Regatta de Zamboanga is one of the highlights during the celebration of Zamboanga City's Fiesta Hermosa where racing of vintas are anticipated every October. A competition highlighting fishermen's maritime skills. The event is the highlight of the Zamboanga Hermosa Festival honoring its patron saint, the La Virgen Nuestra Señora del Pilar de Zaragoza.
