From Facebook to fun run

MANILA, Philippines - Supporters of Gilberto “Gibo” Teodoro have organized a fun run on Jan. 16, starting at 6 a.m., at the Bonifacio Global City in Taguig. For the first time, Gibo’s supporters from the social networking site Facebook’s Fan Page will meet each other in person. In a span of less than a month, volunteers from various sectors such as G-Squad, Green Team 2010, Youth for Gibo, G-Unit as well as high school friends of Gibo pooled their resources and managed to organize the event.

Miguel Celdran, volunteer and supporter of Gibo, says, “The walk is not a political rally but rather a venue to get together and pour our energies into something constructive and worthwhile.” The event’s theme is “Go for Green: Run for Change.” Green signifies growth, renewal, and the environment — all themes that are in sync with Gibo’s platform and close to the heart of the youth.

You may register at Nike Park stores in TriNoma, Bonifacio High Street, Glorietta, Robinsons Galleria, Mall of Asia, Robinsons Ermita, and Festival Mall. A registration fee is P100 and entitles you to a race bib, shirt and sticker. Onsite registration on Jan. 16 is also available. For more information, log on to http://www.takboparakaygibo.com
