He spearheaded building structures in various shapes and sizes. Illac Diaz, the prime mover of MyShelter Foundation is at it again. Only this time, he's constructing school from yet another unconventional source - polyethylene terephthalate bottles. Plastic bottles in short. This was the main thrust of last Sunday's Eco Dash - The Bottle School Run held at the Ayala Terraces here in Cebu.
I was battling a terrible cough late Saturday evening and I thought a 10K run may just be the right remedy. So when my alarm went off at quarter past 3 the next morning, I got up albeit with a bit of hesitation. Hours later, I was among the finishers, feeling tired but delighted, wet but definitely not sick. Joining the race was indeed a healthy choice.
In terms of the numbers, it was unlike the previous races. This one, however, was one of the well-organized and the only one in my mind that offered a real post-race entertainment. Veteran runner Mr. Raffy Uytiepo strutted his stuff on stage ala Elvis Presley. Eat Bulaga's Julia Clarete was a hit with the crowd via the Shembot number. And Barbie Almalbis was just thrilled to dish out a string of songs to a tropa of "gising" and not to the usual "lasing".
As for Team Yellow Jersey, only 4 of us were around this time. Nonetheless, the absence of others was augmented by June Marq Ocana as she placed 7th in the overall 10K Female category . She clocked 1:00:38. Likewise, Alex "Diosa" Arong did another impressive sub-1 (0:57:44) finish in10K Male. And Lor Solon completed another 10K race. Congratulations, guys!
Labanan ang malnutrisyon, kitakits sa M-O Plus Run ngayong linggo!
