PLPI holds Run for H.O.P.E.

Pugad Lawin Philippines, Incorporated (PLPI) holds Fun Run for HOPE (Honest, Orderly and Peaceful Elections) last May 10. Hundreds participated, the PLPI Secretariat reported. National President Lawin Dodo “Eisenhower” Alcala said that the event is in consonance with the commemoration of 116th death anniversary of Andres Bonifacio.

 Earlier National Historical Commission declared 2013 as Year of Bonifacio for the latter’s 150th birth anniversary. “Ating isinagawa ang fun run hindi lamang para sa halalan kundi ikintal sa diwa ng mamamayan ang kabayanihan ni Gat. Andres Bonifacio, ang ama ng demokrasya,”

NP Eisenhower stressed in his message. “Sa umagang ito, tumakbo tayo patungo sa pagkakaisa, sa isang malinis at mapayapang halalan, alang-alang sa ating Inang Bayan,” said Mayor Alfredo S. Lim
in his speech. “Mahalaga na ating pag-alabin ang pagmamahal sa tinubuang lupa.”

A covenant signing was also held before the run, the Secretariat also revealed. Lawins from different chapters like Pugad Lawin sa Northview, Pugad Lawin sa Quirino, Pugad Lawin sa San Pedro, Pugad Lawin sa Quezon City and Pugad Lawin sa Calaca joined the event.
