I am a Bicolano by birth and choice. By any standards, I am a slow runner but I like it that way. I look at running as a healthy and exciting way to make a difference. Together with my fellow runners from our family, school, office, and the community, we use running to give back.

3M CUP: Lovin the Game, the Man & the Batch

 


Blogger's Note: 

The 3M Cup is a side event of the Ruby Reunion Celebrations (July 29-30, 2023) in Naga City of the Ateneo de Naga HS Batch 1983.  3M stands for Meng Monte Memorial and it is an event to remember the Tower of Power of the Batch. Hands down, Meng is the best basketball player that our batch produced. Last Jul 29 inside the Ateneo de Naga gym, we had the 1st game of the 3-game series of the 3M Cup, the 2nd is this September and the 3rd this December. In attendance during the 1st game is Juan Raul delas Llagas Relloso, currently a faculty member of the Ateneo de Naga University and an honorary member of the batch. He wrote a beautiful piece about the experience and the Bicolano Penguin has gotten permission from him to post it in this article.
