The Aqua Fest Celebrity Challenge was staged to promote Lago Del Rey. Because of the overwhelming success of the three-day water sports affair, Gov. LRay Villafuerte is reportedly thinking of sponsoring the event every summer season.

Gov. LRay Villafuerte acknowledged the  importance of celebrities boosting public interest in CamSur. "Celebrities kasi are role models and people usually are interested sa sasabihin nila, so, malaking tulong if they're able to help us promote ‘yong mga projects and what we have to offer para makatulong din siyempre sa tourism namin."

It's Nadia Montenegro's first time to visit CamSur and she's impressed with the facilities of both the CWC and Lago Del Rey.

Nadia took time out to accommodate fans' request for a photo op. The former actress treated the CamSur visit as a welcome respite following an eye surgery to repair a damaged retina.

John Estrada and Priscilla Meirelles came together and were inseparable throughout their stay. Their closeness put all doubts to rest about the status of their relationship.

Lago Del Rey is equipped with world-class water sports facilities fit for families and large groups. The inflatable attractions are imported from Germany.

Ryan Yllana admitted that he is not a beach person. "But I love summer nonetheless," he told PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal). Ryan gamely participated in the contests as part of the Red Team, which placed second overall.

Sinosikat? kept everyone entertained with their style of music branded as Pinoy soul. The group is currently under Warner Music Philippines.

John Estrada and Priscilla Meirelles were teammates in the Red Team. During the welcome cocktail dinner party, the handsome couple was constantly together and showed no sign that their relationship is in peril.

Raymond Gutierrez begged off from joining  the water games but he was game enough to party with the other stars. He was constantly seen together with Star Magic talent Carla Humphries, especially at the cocktail dinner party.

The evening festivity was highlighted with stars and guests getting themselves wet, intentionally or not. Here, young star Denise Laurel found herself in the man-made lake together with Jordan Herrera.

LJ Moreno, here with Cheska Litton, is a certified summer person. LJ is actually a wakeboard enthusiast who has visited CamSur a couple of times.

Jeremy Marquez competed together with his father, Joey Marquez, for the Sky Blue Team. Jeremy was among those who came to CamSur way ahead of the official event to enjoy the place and facilities without media attention.

Denise Laurel played for the Navy Blue Team under the stewardship of Bobby Yan. Their team accumulated a total of 50 points to finish 5^th place behind Maroon's 60 points.

Stars had the privileged to try out the facilities now being offered by Lago Del Rey. This new CamSur attraction offers a wide array of alternatives besides wakeboarding, which is CamSur's most popular tourist attraction.

The Red Team led by John Estrada: Ryan Yllana, Priscilla Meirelles, Jojo Manlongat, Jackie Aspiras, Janelle Javier, Amiel Cabanlig, Noel Azarcon, Red Anderson, and Jordan Herrera.

The White Team—Mark Reyes, Alexander Pastor, Ron Pecho, Maxine Eigenmann, Drew Arellano, Claudine Trillo, Carla Humphries, Charyze Solomon and Tim Yap—was led by Sports Unlimited host Marc Nelson.

Despite finishing last in the team ranking, the Navy Blue Team was applauded for putting up a gallant fight. The team's roster had Denise Laurel, Sam Wilson, Fran Ribano, Stephen Ku, Mars Miranda, JM Rodriguez, Enrico Subido, Luch Zaranato, and Ronnie Henares.

The Sky Blue Team was all smiles even before the score roundup was announced. Gary Estrada served as team captain to Jeremy Marquez, Cheska Litton, Ketchup Eusebio, Alynna Asistio, Marco Alcaraz, Jowee Ann Marquez, Lorenzo Manalang, and Joey Marquez.

All the colorful teams gather for a souvenir shot before buckling down to  compete in the Aqua Fest Celebrity Challenge.

Host Drew Arellano tried out the inflatable "iceberg" used as obstacle in one of the water games. Asked if he loves summer, Drew gushed, "Oh, yes!"

The Sky Blue Team celebrates after winning one of the water sport challenges. The only serious threat to Gary Estrada's team during the competition was John Estrada's Red Team.

Sports Unlimited host Marc Nelson was with co-host Diane Castillejo. The duo arrived both to compete and to cover the special event. Marc was tapped as team captain for the White Team.

During the awarding ceremony, John Estrada joked that their team was cheated by Joey Marquez's team, thus explaining their bridesmaid finish. John's Red Team fell short as it managed to garner 140 points against Sky Blue's 150.

Joey Marquez playfully flashed the No. 1 sign to "spite" good friend John Estrada. Though not officially listed as his team's team captain, Joey assumed the role of key strategist to guide the Sky Blue Team to victory.
