The balangay, a type of boat Filipinos sailed throughout the Pacific Ocean for thousands of years, has been largely missing from the waves since Spanish colonizers arrived in the islands in the mid-16th century and suppressed boat construction.<\/p>\n<p>In 2009, Filipino explorer Arturo Valdez led a team which revived this maritime tradition and built three traditional balangays. They sailed their boats hundreds of miles across the ocean, visiting countries like Singapore, Vietnam and China.<\/p>\n<p>Valdez and a team of researchers are now rebuilding their fleet of balangays, this time carefully recording the process to ensure the continuation of this tradition. Once their boats are ready, they aim to use them to train a new generation of Filipino sailors in the old ways.<\/p>\n<p>On hand to film this journey is <a href=\"https:\/\/explorer-directory.nationalgeographic.org\/jordan-winters\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jordan Winters<\/a>, who graduated in 2019 from the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences with a <a href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/poir\/\">political science<\/a> degree and a degree in journalism from <a href=\"https:\/\/annenberg.usc.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism<\/a>.

A childhood sailing accident left her entire family spooked on boats for over a decade.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe weren\u2019t in mortal danger, but as a kid it was very scary,\u201d says Winters. \u201cIt became my father\u2019s ghost story for years on why we don\u2019t go on the water anymore.\u201d<br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16224\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16224\" style=\"width: 308px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-16224 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/08\/Winters_Fulbright_InStory_A-308x550.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"308\" height=\"550\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/08\/Winters_Fulbright_InStory_A-308x550.jpg 308w, https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/08\/Winters_Fulbright_InStory_A-573x1024.jpg 573w, https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/08\/Winters_Fulbright_InStory_A-768x1371.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/08\/Winters_Fulbright_InStory_A-860x1536.jpg 860w, https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/08\/Winters_Fulbright_InStory_A.jpg 980w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 308px) 100vw, 308px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-16224\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Winters is a seasoned sailor now and plans to join the balangays\u2019 next voyage as documentarian. (Photo: Courtesy of Jordan Winters.)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n<h2>Like father, like daughter<\/h2>\n<p>Winters was born and raised in San Francisco, California, where her father first got her hooked on the art of narrative. On camping trips with her Girl Scout troop, he\u2019d regale the campers with his own versions of sci-fi films like <em>Alien<\/em> and <em>Close Encounters of the Third Kind<\/em>. He took his daughter hiking and used old mining trails or signs declaring \u201cYour Tax Dollars at Work\u201d as jumping off points to discuss history and politics.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe was showing me how to gather evidence and also think about the bigger picture at play \u2014 things I still do today in the field,\u201d she says. It was also her dad\u2019s inquisitive spirit that led the family to rent a sailboat for the day out on the San Francisco Bay, just to try out the sport they\u2019d all been admiring on dry land. A few hours, a capsizing and an extraction by trained rescuers later, the family was back on the dock swearing off any more future seafaring.<\/p>\n<p>Arriving at USC, Winters knew she wanted to become a journalist and enrolled as a journalism major at USC Annenberg. To broaden her studies, she added a political science degree at USC Dornsife.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/profile\/anthony-kammas\/\">Anthony Kammas<\/a>, professor (teaching) of political science, was a favorite instructor. \u201cI took every class that he offered. He made us think a lot about the difference between a utopia and a dystopia, and about the social contracts we all make. I still use what I learned in his classes, because a boat is its own contained society and you put your life in each other\u2019s hands,\u201d\u201d says Winters.<\/p>\n<p>USC also honed her journalism skills. Winters worked with Robert Hernandez, professor of professional practice at USC Annenberg, in his <a href=\"https:\/\/annenberg.usc.edu\/current-students\/jovrnalism\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">JOVRNALISM project<\/a>, which took her to South Korea to report on the 2018 Olympics as well as to Qatar.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUSC is a unique school. It could provide both the academic rigor of my political science degree and also hands-on job-focused training at Annenberg,\u201d she explains.<\/p>\n<p>College was also about conquering some personal demons. The summer between her freshman and sophomore year, Winters\u2019 father decided it was time the family rid themselves of their aquaphobia. He persuaded his daughter to join him in sailing classes back at the scene of the original incident in the San Francisco Bay.<\/p>\n<p>Winters was ready. \u201cI came from this ancient maritime tradition. I felt like I had a birthright to be on the water,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>Those lessons ended up kicking off a new family hobby. Winters and her dad now compete in sailing races together, and he\u2019s sailed across the Pacific Ocean twice.<\/p>\n<h2>New horizons<\/h2>\n<p>As graduation loomed, a formative conversation with USC Annenberg professor <a href=\"https:\/\/annenberg.usc.edu\/faculty\/gabriel-kahn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gabriel Kahn<\/a> steered Winters toward the idea of working abroad. He helped her apply for a grant to attend a journalism conference in Chang Mai, Thailand, which opened up new perspectives on international journalism.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16225\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16225\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-16225 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/08\/Winters_Fulbright_InStory_B-500x335.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/08\/Winters_Fulbright_InStory_B-500x335.jpg 500w, https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/08\/Winters_Fulbright_InStory_B-768x514.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/08\/Winters_Fulbright_InStory_B.jpg 980w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-16225\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Balangays aren\u2019t the only traditional Filipino boat. Smaller \u201cparawas\u201d were also popular and are still used in races today. (Photo: Courtesy of Jordan Winters.)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cIt solidified that I wanted to come back to Asia,\u201d says Winters. \u201cIt gave me a sense of real opportunities there, stuff to do outside of the main media bureaus.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Winters started on her application for the Fulbright-National Geographic fellowship the day after she graduated. She wasn\u2019t precisely sure of her research angle until some internet searching led her to Valdez\u2019s balangay project. She knew narrative potential when she saw it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA boat gives you defined characters going against a concrete challenge with a beginning, middle and an end,\u201d says Winters. \u201cA good pitch has those elements; I learned that at Annenberg.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She submitted her application and was awarded the fellowship in 2020, but the COVID-19 pandemic put the project on pause. She worked at NBC News as a producer in New York City and Miami before finally getting the greenlight to head to the Philippines in January, nearly three years after she put in her original application.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a lesson in patience,\u201d says Winters.<\/p>\n<h2>A ship\u2019s resurrection<\/h2>\n<p>Now, she\u2019s following along as Valdez, his crew and a team of researchers build a fresh set of boats. Little in the way of historical balangays survives, so much of the project involves \u201cexperimental archeology,\u201d in which theories about how things may have been constructed in the past are tested and then adjusted.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, all original fabric sails have long ago rotted. The team must examine local resources, such as finding out which available indigenous fibers would have been strong and abundant enough to use for sailcloth, to guide them in producing new ones. It\u2019s a puzzle that raises fascinating questions for a sailor like Winters: Is a \u201ccrab claw\u201d sail as good as a square sail? Could they have made it to China if they used a sail that could produce only five knots versus 10 knots of speed?<\/p>\n<p>Once the boats are built, Winters will tag along with her camera as Valdez and his crew take the balangays to sea. With more than 7,000 islands in the Philippines to explore, it\u2019s a sailor, and storyteller\u2019s, paradise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n  \n        \n  \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--article-related-stories \"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--article-related-stories\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n  <div class=\"inner-wrapper\">\n              \n<div class=\"f--field f--section-title\">\n\n    \n  <h2>\n          Related News:\n      <\/h2>\n\n\n<\/div>\n    \n                  <article>\n              \n<div class=\"f--field f--cta-title\">\n\n    \n  <h3>\n          <a href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/news\/stories\/heavy-tv-watching-associated-with-smaller-brain-structures\/\" \n                        class=\"\" \n      >Heavy TV watching associated with smaller brain structures, study finds<\/a>\n      <\/h3>\n\n\n<\/div>\n        <\/article>\n              <article>\n              \n<div class=\"f--field f--cta-title\">\n\n    \n  <h3>\n          <a href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/news\/stories\/why-fatherhood-matters-more-than-ever-before\/\" \n                        class=\"\" \n      >Why fatherhood matters more than ever\u00a0before<\/a>\n      <\/h3>\n\n\n<\/div>\n        <\/article>\n              <article>\n              \n<div class=\"f--field f--cta-title\">\n\n    \n  <h3>\n          <a href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/news\/stories\/honoring-jane-goodalls-legacy-at-usc-dornsife\/\" \n                        class=\"\" \n      >Honoring Jane Goodall\u2019s legacy at USC Dornsife<\/a>\n      <\/h3>\n\n\n<\/div>\n        <\/article>\n            <\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A sailing accident almost kept her off the water forever.
