No doubt, the allure of the Sungay Challenge Ultra Marathon
scheduled for July 13 is the 9-km “uphell” ascent that is referred to in the
google map as “Ligaya Drive.”

“Ite, inflammate omnia”
In English, “Go set the
world on fire.” These were the words being used, on the morning of June 14, by the lively Fr. Jboy Gonzales of the Ateneo
High School Campus Ministry as he exhorted
the parents to “burn baby burn” in being partners with the school in
nurturing a culture of warmth among the students and the community.

Last Sunday, fellow 83nean Ernie
handed me a couple of running shirts.
