Filipina Breadwinner Bless Lacap Inspires Pinoys to Take on 2027 Singapore T100 Triathlon
Manila, Philippines — For Singapore-based Filipina Bless Lacap, waiting for the "perfect moment" to chase a big dream is a trap. At 40 years old, the breadwinner and single mom has officially taken the plunge, signing up for her very first professional-tier T100 triathlon—proving that investing in yourself isn't selfish; it’s essential.


Now, she is putting out a passionate call to action for her fellow Filipinos: stop waiting and join her at the upcoming 2027 Singapore T100 Triathlon weekend, happening on 10–11 April 2027.More Than Just Elite Racing

While the Marina Bay event is world-renowned for drawing the planet's top triathletes in a live global broadcast across 195 markets, the festival of multisport is built for everyday athletes too.

Lacap has signed up for the signature grueling distance: a 2km swim, 80km bike, and 18km run. But for those looking for different entry points, the weekend features a wide array of amateur categories, including:
  • The 100km Signature Distance (2km swim, 80km bike, 18km run)
  • Sprint (750m swim, 20km bike, 5km run)
  • Long Duathlon (9km run, 64km bike, 9km run)
  • Standard Duathlon (6km run, 32km bike, 3km run)
  • Youth Aquathlon (400m swim, 3km run)
  • Relay options for the 100km, Sprint, and Standard Duathlon.
An Investment in Self-Worth

Reflecting on her decision to register during the early bird window, Lacap opened up about the initial hurdles of balancing family responsibilities and personal ambitions.
"I am the breadwinner of my family in the Philippines and a single mom. I’ve always prioritized the needs of others above my own," Lacap shared. "Then I asked myself: if not now, when? When I’m old? When I finally have extra money? The truth is, that moment may never come at all... Spending for me is not a luxury, it’s an investment. It’s necessary. It’s worth it."
A Growing Pinoy Tradition in Marina Bay




Just a short flight from Manila, the Singapore T100 has become a favorite destination for Filipino multisport athletes, with over 700 Pinoys taking part since 2023. Participants get the rare, bucket-list opportunity to swim in Marina Bay and race on closed roads around Singapore's financial district, including Sheares Bridge, Marina Bay Sands, and the iconic Formula 1 street circuit.

As part of the Professional Triathletes Organisation's (PTO) new Triathlon World Tour launching in 2027 alongside World Triathlon, the sport is expanding to over 48 events worldwide, creating a unified global platform designed to make triathlon more accessible and engaging than ever.
