Takbolusyon 3 and AM Runners

Theres no stopping as our town will hold its third Running event aptly named Takbolusyon3.

Running has become an "in thing" here spearheaded by my brother mayor.

Mayor Arnel w running buddy Cong. Sherwin Tugna

A running group was formed that ran regularly thrice  a week .

Camaraderie and brotherhood were established among the members.

An exhausting morning run is usually ended by a hearty breakfast.

We even joined big running events in Manila like Condura Run, Run United and Milo marathon.

Run UNITED

Hence this running event is something everyone  looks forward to.
This time we will cover a longer distance of 16K.

21K runners

But we also have shorter distance level like 10, 5 and 3 K.
And we have invited runners from our neighboring town.

Running releases "feel good" hormones enough to sustain energy throughout the day.
Your Minds think clearly and your body healthy .
See you on November 30!


Kudos to Bustosenyos Runners!

Sto. Niño Town Fiesta 2014

Being  in a catholic country every town has its patron saint.
In  Bustos, Bulacan it is Sto. Niño...

hence the name of our hospital which my  parents started.

While we also do "tugyaw" (tugtugan at sayaw) to honor Sto Niño every third sunday of January as whole country does...

our town sets its fiesta every last Sunday of February.


For the year 2014  I was chosen as president of the committee fiesta along with
a family friend and relative Rene De Leon.

Its is such an honor to be
given the task but it also entails a gargantuan responsibility.

My parents headed the fiesta committee in the 70's and its such a reverence
to follow their path.

To raise funds we decided to hold a raffle of Toyota Vios
proceeds will be for the completion of a new tabernacle which was our chosen project.
Yesterday the car was delivered and it is on display at the church patio.
Its P500.00 per ticket to win a car and help our church.

I fervently pray now that we could be able  to raise funds to make our church more appealing with its new altar.

  Along with the commitment of heading the committee I am hoping for  your support in making the next years fiesta celebration a success.
