PHILIPPINE INDEPENDENCE DAY HALF MARATHON

If I ask you what you’re doing on the 12th of June I’m pretty sure that most of you are going to answer at least one of the following: bum around, hit the beach, get some fresh air in the mountains, cool down in the malls.

But is this really how we want to spend our Independence Day?

We talk about how much we love our country and yet on the one day that we’re supposed to celebrate our country, we don’t. Instead, we use the holiday to recuperate from stress.

If we want to celebrate Independence Day like how the Americans or Singaporeans (just to name a few), we must start somewhere. So what better way to celebrate this special day than to run and celebrate it with your fellow countrymen?

For the first time ever.. we’re having a Philippine Independence Day Half-Marathon.*

RIZ AND I WILL ALSO BE PERFORMING IN THIS EVENT.

There will be a program and food stalls around the area which should make it a WHOLE LOTTA FUN!!! The CIE Alumni are starting a trend to make our Independence Day a very special day of celebration for all Filipinos. During our last meeting, already 4000+ runners have signed up for the marathon… CASH PRIZES AND MEDALS will be awarded to the winners, and they get to hand over a FULLY-FURNISHED HOUSE to a family in need.

Participate in this event (run, be a spectator or just party along!) and help our fellow countrymen learn to value independence, as well as help set a trend for ending poverty!

Run 1,2,3

Set them free

From poverty

For love of country ! ! !
