Magarao: Parahilot Capital

As I am writing this article, the 22^nd Philippine Advertising Congress  is happening in my home province of Camarines Sur.  Hundreds, even thousands  of movers and shakers of the Advertising industry and its attendant sectors have trooped to Camsur in recent days.    

What is the best mango shake I have ever tasted?

Answer:  The one at Red  Platter, Naga City.

Mango is the national fruit of the Philippines.  It is a comfort food.  It is an excellent source of Vitamins A and C, as well as a good source of Potassium and contains beta carotene.   You can say that runners, fast or slow,  benefit a lot from consuming this fruit.  And what better way to enjoy this natural delicacy in our tropical clime  than   via a cool mango shake.

MICHELLE ESTUAR’S FUNd RACING: A Rare Wednesday Fun Run

Fun runs in  Metro Manila are usually held on weekends, mostly on Sundays and a few on Saturdays.  Rarely are running events scheduled on a weekday.  Perhaps once every blue moon.   It is therefore a delight to know that there is a  fun run on the last Wednesday of this November.  For working stiffs like me in the Philippines, November 30 (the last Wednesday) is a non-working holiday by virtue of it being  the birthday of Andres Bonifacio, the founder of the proletarian revolutionary  Katipunan Movement.

Our Bicol. Our Home. Our Run

As a proud running man of the  the Ateneo de Naga High School Class of 1983 (follow the exploits of these 40-something runners at http://83neanrunners.blogspot.com) , I subscribe to the precept “Our Bicol. Our Home. Our Run.”  It is an axiom that we follow in our choice of long distance running events to join.  

MTR 2011 : Mayon Trail “Run” to the Extreme

Clamber. Waddle. Crawl, & Trudge .  Action words I did not exactly expect to use for a write up having something to do with  my  passion for running.  But when it came to my recent adventure at the 21km Extreme Mayon Trail Run last October 22, 2011 in Legaspi City, I have to call a spade a spade.
