Kapuso stars light up Energizer Night Race in Dagupan

The Philippine Star

Manila, Philippines - For one summer night, the streets of Dagupan City were lit up as Rochelle Pangilinan, Bela Padilla, Kylie Padilla, Will Devaughn, Ervic Vijandre, and Arthur Solinap ran together with the participants of the Energizer Night Race last month. In partnership with GMA Network, Energizer held the third leg of its night race in Dagupan, Pangasinan. The race attracted runners and enthusiasts from the city and the nearby areas. They all came out ready to run for the 3km, 5km, and 10km categories of the race, all wearing their Energizer-powered headlights  a feature unique to the race. The Kapuso stars added to the energy and excitement with Rochelle, Will, Ervic, and Arthur running the 5km race and Kylie and Bela joining the 3km category.

But before the CSI Mall parking lot  the starting and finishing point of the race  and its surrounding areas lit up with thousands of participants and their headlights, the stars prepped the crowd with a series of games and warm-up exercises at the Kapuso Night. Mike “Pekto” Nacua and Rico Robles hosted the program, which featured Rochelle, Bela, Kylie, Will, Ervic, and Arthur in a number of fun games together with some Kapusong Dagupeño.

Then it was time to do some stretching before hitting the road. The stars willingly poured their sweat out as they joined fitness instructor Danny Luna in showing the participants how to warm up with a beat.

The Dagupan leg of the Energizer Night Race is the Luzon counterpart of the successful first and second legs in Cebu and Davao. A total of P130,000 was donated by Energizer from the Dagupan race’s proceeds to the GMA Kapuso Foundation, Inc.’s special hearing aids project. It is for the foundation’s effort to observe the National Disability Prevention and Rehabilitation Week in July.
