(UPDATE) BASKING in the afterglow of the country's overall triumph in the just-concluded ICF Dragon Boat World Championships, Philippine Canoe Kayak Federation (PCKF) president Leonora Escollante has a grand plan on how the PH paddlers can further excel in international play.

'While I am proud of what we achieved at the worlds, I believe that there is still some room for improvement. There's more to do. So that is what we will work on so that our paddlers can be more competitive in international competition,' Escollante said.
