Don't forget your roots Brah!

Are you too coconut, whitewashed or disconnected?  Don't be.  Check out how thesFilipino-American surfers travel to the Philippines for the first time and experienced first-hand how it is to be Filipino. Dan Moreno and Jon Villare  are the two surfers who never found value in their own heritage, until now. Their trip to the Philippines is a total immersion in an unfamiliar culture, which they have relied on hearsay and written articles. They will come face to face with the real Filipinos in their own native space. Dan and Jon will integrate with the communities, play Filipino music, eat native fruits and delicacies and surf the islands with the locals. At the end of their trip, both surfers will provide us with highlights of their physical, emotional and spiritual experiences. The Gift of Barong is not only a surfing odyssey, but also a journey of culture reconnection, identity crisis and personal healing.
