- 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.

LAKAW DALAGAN PARA KI INA: October 5, Bombon
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.BAGOLATAO ADVENTURE RUN: The “Broke Back” Mountain Challenge
In one of my
very first articles(http://www.bicolanopenguin.blogspot.com/2011/11/our-bicol-our-home-our-un.html#more)in this running blog, I expressed the "commitment" to run as much as I could in my native Bicol.

1st BICOLANO PENGUIN ANNIVERSARY RUN : Kings of Tiwi-Sangay Road
What better way
to celebrate the 1st year of my Bicolano Penguin blog than to have a
long run with close buddies in a special place.
Such a venue exists in my home region
of Bicol. This is the long and winding
Tiwi-Sangay Road.
BANANA BOAT SHIRTS, FINISHER SHIRTS AND RUNNING GELS FOR THE BICOLANO PENGUIN ANNIVERSARY RUN
A couple more
nights and it is already November 2, the
D-Day of our first-ever Bicolano Penguin Anniversary Run. The running paradise that 4 of my fellow 83neans, 5 more
Bicol-based buddies and myself will journey to on this date is a 40-km
stretch of the picturesque Tiwi- Sangay
Road in the border of the provinces of Camarines Sur and Albay.
BICOLANO PENGUIN ANNIVERSARY RUN: November 2, 2012 at Tiwi-Sangay Road
My Bicolano
Penguin blog will be turning 1 year this November 5. Thru the
weeks and months, this blog has churned 105 articles, mostly about
running and a handful about food, the runner’s best friend. In a year, the blog has elicited more than
10,000 page views. We can safely say
that this baby is an active one. Not
precocious but a bouncing one.
RUNNING TO LAKE BATO VIA MASOLI ROAD
I had to cancel my Tiwi-Sangay Road running adventure last July 14. It was a disappointment for me, but a mark of an ultra runner is resilience. If I couldn’t do a seven-hour adventure run, I guess I could do a shorter one; something in the vicinity of four hours.
TIWI-SANGAY ROAD: PICTURES FROM THE RECON DRIVE
As I look at the Google map of Camarines Sur, I see another road connecting our province to Albay. This is the Tiwi-Sangay Road.It is of more recent vintage. What is exciting about this road is its close proximity to the sea, specifically Lagonoy Gulf. Plus, it is still sparsely inhabited. Many bikers go thru it but rarely runners. In short, virgin territory for running.
RUNNING FROM IRIGA-NABUA-BAAO-IRIGA (20 KMS)
I was home in Iriga City this Father’s Day weekend. Immediately after arriving in our barrio of San Agustin at 5am last June 16, I took the opportunity to run while the rest of my family were sound asleep.
