UPIS community runs for a cause

The UPIS Centennial Fun Run dubbed “Bagong Siglo, Bagong Sigla, UPIS Takbo Pa!” which also served as a fundraising activity for the UPIS Gymnasium was held on February 7 at the UP Academic Oval.

It was spearheaded by the UPIS Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) Board and participated in by the students, alumni, parents, faculty, and staff.

The race is divided into 3 distances, 6.6 km, 4.4 km, and 2.2 km for the high school students, and 600m and 1.1 km for the elementary students.

Senior JB Cuachin finished first in the 6.6, Kyle Ileto of Batch 2019 won the 4.4 km, and Keanne Nuevas of Grade 7 won the 2.2 km. The winner of each category received medals.

The UP Amphitheater, the venue for the program was already filled with excited participants for the Fun Run at around 4:00 AM. Ms. Zyra Brebante, a well-known Zumba instructor, led the warm-up exercise early that morning.

To set the mood, Battle of the Bands 2016 champion Looney Tunes also performed on stage songs by Chemical Romance and Paramore and their original song Noon Hanggang Ngayon. Battle of the Bands runners-up FLL and Amamimamols were also among the performers.

A series of inspiring messages from PTA Board Members, UPIS Principal Dr. Ronaldo M. San Jose, and UP College of Education Dean Dr. Rosario Alonzo filled the entire program after the Fun Run.
