BAMBOO RAFT TO SAIL TO SOUTH KOREA?

LAOAG CITY, April 29– A 13-meter long bamboo raft locally called “raket” is being assembled by local carpenters who were tapped by a Korean sailor who planned to use it to sail on the sea towards South Korea. The Korean will be aided by five other Korean sailors and a fisherman from this city in this daring sea journey. Alex Razos of Brgy. Cabungaan here said he and his Korean companions are expected to reach their destination in South Korea within two months. About 115 bamboo poles were being used to assemble the raket.
