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.

PENAFRANCIA MARATHON 2012: A RUN FOR INA TO BUILD A CHURCH



Decades  before the Metropolitan Cathedral (1808) and centuries before the Penafrancia Basilica Minore (1981), there was and is the Penafrancia Church.  This was built in 1750 and is the original home of Our Lady of Penafrancia, the patroness of the Bicol region.
