Swee Chiow also visited Mayor Enrique "Yoyong" Yap and shared his vision. The Mayor himself is one adventurous spirit and he gave his support to this new challenge. This Friendship Kayak will commemorate the 40 years also of the Philippine- Singapore ties. So together with Swee Chiow, is Erwin Glenn "Buzzy" Budlong, a Filipino Kayak enthusiast from Bohol.
Khoo Swee Chiow has conquered Mt. Everest twice, has reached both the North and South Pole, has swam accross the Malacca Straight, and now we wish him luck for his new attempt on making the first record of kayaking the Philippines from Mindanao to Luzon. He began his kayak adventure last August 31, 2009, which happens to be Mayor Yoyong's birthday. They started from Glan and should have their first major stop in Davao City.
