Run for your health, run for Pasig River

A total of 101,010 marathon runners coming from various sectors are expected to join the largest charity run to be held in October.

The event called 10.10.10 RUN FOR PASIG RIVER is part of the â€œMalinawâ€ advocacy, one of the many initiatives of the ABS-CBN Foundation to restore the Pasig River. â€œMalinawâ€ advocacy was launched last April 15 by the Kapit Bisig Para sa Ilog Pasig (another effort of the ABS-CBN Foundation) and their partners. The advocacy aims to bring back the glory of Pasig River and mobilizes various communities in action.

The event might be another glorious entry of the Philippines to the Guinness Book of World Records as thousands of runners from government offices, schools, business corporations and other sectors will merge to support the rehabilitation of Pasig River.

Iâ€™m sure even the marathon runners that I have mentioned in my previous post (the Baguio-Benguet race) will join the charity event (or social movement as organizers call it) to raise awareness and for funds to clean the river.

The clean-up drive may take time but arenâ€™t we glad there are committed individuals and organizations who are willing to protect and preserve what is left of the once majestic river? Iâ€™m sure many of you share the same sentiments as mine. I want my children and their future children to see the Pasig River clean and sustainable.

So mark you calendar for the fun run this October because Iâ€™m sure you wouldnâ€™t want to miss this occasion.

There will be four major starting points â€“ SM Mall of Asia (3Km), Luneta Park (5Km), The Fort Bonifacio Global city (10Km), and SM Markina (21Km), all converging to one finish line at the SM Mall of Asia where a grand celebration will be held after.

For those who are interested to join please visit http://www.101010runforpasigriver.com. You will have to sign-up in 10.10.10 run for Pasig River to get a slot.

*** I re-use plastic or bottle containers at home. This way my household don’t add up to the burden of garbage management in my city; I turn off the lights when they are not in use; most of the light bulbs that we use at home are energy savers; except for important assignments, we don’t allow kids to stay as long as they want in front of the computer.

I’m now sharing this tag to all responsible inhabitants of Mother Earth, that means YOU! Come on grab the tag now and do your share. Show that you care. 🙂

Eco park revisited

We treat the kids for a late afternoon visit at the La Mesa Eco Park in Quezon City last week. We werenâ€™t able to enjoy the facilities like the Superferry Boating Lagoon and Pavilion as it was already closed when we arrived in the area so we content ourselves with leisurely walk at the Lopez Picnic Grounds and hiking at the Shell Flower Terraces.

We really had a grand time although we were just at the area for less than two hours.

I love the outdoors although itâ€™s rare that we do this kind of activity in recent years. The last time that we were there was in 2006. We hope to go back and explore the whole place even if it means conditioning my knees and feet for strenuous walking. 😀
