The Church of the Nuestra Senora
del Rosario is the parish church of Bombon, Camarines Sur. One of the
remarkable churches in the Bicol Region, it has a leaning bell tower. It evokes
a rich history of our Diocese of Nueva Caceres. |

Come October 5, there will be a
fun run in the municipality of Bombon that will benefit the centuries old
church. This morning, I called up Fr. Rey Caceres, a grade school classmate and friend at the La
Consolacion Academy in the late 1970s, who is the hard working parish
priest. He confirmed that the Dalagan
Para Ki Ina is for the church and its programs .
Distances are 2kms, 5kms and 10kms. Registration fees ranged from Php
150 to Php 250. For more details you can
call Konsehal Eddie Alteza (09175806417) or visit

I have started to inform my
friends from Naga and Rinconada about
this October 5 fun run. Likewise, my
classmates from both the Ateneo de Naga
and La Consolacion Academy. Who knows, I
might even be able to go home together with a few running buddies from Manila
on that weekend.
This is a fun run with its own
small town charms. More importantly, it
is for a good cause.
This is recommended.
