DAVAO CITY, Philippines — The city government of Davao in coordination with the organizers of the upcoming Iron Man 70.3 triathlon is now on thick of its preparation for the international triathlon event in the March.

Al Ryan Alejandre, chair of the City Council Committee on Tourism, said the city is now 80 percent ready for the hosting of triathlon event which is expected to draw local and foreign athletes.

In the weekly program, Pulong Pulong Ni  Pulong, Aljandre said “We are finalizing and we (are) ironing out the smooth flow of the traffic and the coordination with the participants.”

The city government already held coordination meeting last week with the local governments of Panabo City, Tagum City and the town of Carmen in Davao del Norte for the bike routes.

He said there would be a series of traffic re-routing due to road closures from Azuela Cove in Lanang to Tagum City.

“We are also coordinating with DPWH (Department of Public Works and Highways) that all of the road constructions before March 25, should be done,” he said.

He said there were also changes in the swimming event effected by the organizer of the event, to avoid untoward incidents like the previous IronMan.

“Naay mga divers sa ilalom nga nakaatang sa ilaha, naa puy ibabaw to see to it nga kung naa may malunod, naay mga divers nga mo-respond (There will be divers on the water stage who will watch after the participants for an immediate response to any untoward incident),” he said.

Alejandre added that the participants would swim on the water stage by batch and by seconds interval to avoid crowding.

“Dili sila magsabay og dumog sa dagat kay lisod. Imagine, 1,800, unsaon nimo na pagtan-aw (They should not swim together because it is really hard for the organizer. Imagine 1,800 participants, how will you take care of that),” he said.

He said the organizer had already hit the 1,800 target participants who would join the most prestigious triathlon event.

The event is a first time in the city but it has the highest turn-out because most first-time events in other places draw an average of 500 registered participants.

With the turn-out, Alejandre said the city might expect about 2,000 participants or more. He said the event was one of the good venues to promote the city since there would be foreign players who are known in the world of triathlon who would participate.

The Ironman 70.3 Davao is a special event to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Ironman in the Philippines.

Other events like Alaska iron kids will be a triathlon for the youths. It will be supported by Alveo Land.

The “70.3” refers to the total distance in miles (113 kilometers) covered in the race – including the 1.2-mile swim, 56-mile bike race, and the 13.1-mile run. -Armando Fenequito Jr/PNA

  5. These online casino table games suit players who prefer strategy over
    chance, with blackjack and baccarat offering some of the highest
    payout rates. Australia’s vibrant top online casino market offers a variety of
    platforms for real money play. For Australian players, the safest online casinos are those with respectable international licences, including those from Malta, Gibraltar, or Curacao.
    For players, this means the only safe and legal way to play is at a licensed real
    money online casino in Australia. The games on an online casino Australia real money site range from
    those based on pure luck to others that require
    real skill.
    Based on a rising multiplier of your stake, it’s often represented as a virtual plane soaring through the sky,
    a rocket blasting off, or even a chicken crossing the road.
    It’s a lottery-style game where you pick numbers on a virtual grid – typically ranging from 40
    to 80 – and hope they match the drawn numbers. They range from classic titles with a fixed number of paylines to modern Megaways slots offering up to 117,469 ways
    to win on each spin. This prevents you from staking too high on a single spin or hand, primarily as a form of protection for the casino.
    Always check the expiration date, like you do
    with the weird-smelling milk carton in your fridge, so you know exactly how long you have to claim and use your bonus.
    Also, keep an eye on game contributions – the amount that each
    game will contribute to your wagering requirements.
    Many Canadians have disposable income they are willing to spend on online
    games of chance, and many casinos offer the services they need.
    All online casinos recommended on this page are reputable, legitimate, and trustworthy.

    Unfortunately, some online casinos that welcome Canadians are of
    poor quality, while others are outright scams.

  6. Zusammen bilden De Niro, Stone und Pesci ein Trio von Schauspielern, die „Casino“ zu einem unvergesslichen Erlebnis machen. Martin Scorsese’s
    Film „Casino“ aus dem Jahr 1995 ist ein Kriminalfilm-Drama, das von einer Gruppe von Schauspielern getragen wird, die ihre Rollen meisterhaft
    spielen. „Casino“ wird heute als einer der bedeutendsten Filme der 1990er Jahre angesehen und gilt als ein Meisterwerk
    des Kriminalfilms. Der Film zeigt auch die politischen und wirtschaftlichen Kräfte, die hinter den Kulissen agieren und den Aufstieg und Fall von Ace
    und seinen Verbündeten beeinflussen. „Casino“ ist ein Kriminalfilm-Drama aus dem Jahr
    1995 unter der Regie von Martin Scorsese.
    Mit der Thriller-Neuverfilmung Kap der Angst (1991) und dem Kostümfilm Zeit der Unschuld (1993) betrat
    Scorsese künstlerisches Neuland. Wegen massiver Proteste religiöser Gruppierungen wurden die Dreharbeiten zur lange vorbereiteten Jesus-Verfilmung Die
    letzte Versuchung Christi 1983 zunächst abgesagt.
    Einzig die von ihm initiierte Kampagne zur Restaurierung alter Hollywoodfilme brachte
    ihm eine positive Presse.
