R3run for Sustainability: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle this August 10, 2014
by Cheryl Villareal on May 29th, 2014
There’s no doubt that our earth is getting more and more polluted. Just looking at Manila alone you’d see how much waste we have all over. I couldn’t help but wonder every now and then where all our garbage goes after the garbage collector gets it. As much as we try not to think about it, all our garbage is either piled up in another area that’ll end up like Smokey Mountain and Payatas, or burned to ashes causing less land pollution but m...Read More » Tags Share Comments (0 )

Takbo Sa Pagbangon ng Leyte
by Cheryl Villareal on Apr 6th, 2014
The past few weeks, I've been hearing a bunch of races all being done for the benefit of the victims of Typhoon Yolanda. It's been months since the typhoon hit but this country still has a long way to go. As we all know, a lot of homes were destroyed and turned to rubble when the typhoon hit. Several victims have already found shelter in Manila, while others have no where else to go. “Takbo sa Pagbangon ng Leyte” is a Benefit Run for typhoo...Read More » Tags Share Comments (0 )
