Condura Run 2009 by Ton Concepcion

By | Events and Launches, Green, Health and Fitness | 4 Comments

 

Congratulations to Ton Concepcion on another successful race!!  Ton told me that last year there were around 2,000 plus  participants, this year it almost tripled to around 6,500. WOW!!! I could not recognize anyone in the crowd due to the thousands of people running!  And I apologize for the poor photos as I had a hard time shooting against the sun so i had to edit some photos and then they became blurred. I gave up for awhile but then went back to the finish line to meet the 21k runners who i thought deserved to be greeted in the finish line!  Congratulations to everyone who joined and helped make this a successful event!

White Space

A new events venue which Dara introduced to me as the “baby” of her mom, Monique Villongco.  Congratulations Tita Monique!! More power!!

Whitespace is a multipurpose exhibition hall, events venue, and marketing installation space on Chino Roces Avenue Extension (formerly Pasong Tamo Extension), Makati. With its understated facade and a dramatic all-white 600 square-meter hall in an emerging trendsetting neighborhood, Whitespace provides any event or brand with a superior setting easily converted for any use.

Photos and materials taken from their website:  WHITESPACE

Warehouse Revival

 

 

Formerly an abandoned storage warehouse, Whitespace has been converted into a divisible multi-purpose hall to cater to the increasing demand for event space within Metro Manila.The original structural elements have been retained to preserve the look and feel of its industrial roots which are evident in the exposed trusses and massive steel doors. The interiors, however, have been renovated for aesthetic purposes to address the needs of our clients.

I Am Running to Make a Child SMILE!

By | Events and Launches, Giving Back | 2 Comments

Aside from protecting the Whale Sharks, Runners for Others has teamed up with the Condura Run and will also be making many children SMILE!   Ton is also a member of Runners for Others together with Jay, Anton, Nina, Butch, Cris, Kit Kat and many others who also RUN FOR A GOOD CAUSE!  I am so proud of all of them! According to Butch Jimenez, 21 children have gotten clef surgery from the efforts…. and the race has not even started yet.

From Butch Jimenez

The objective is to try and raise the spirit of helping others not just among R4O members but among all the runners that plan to participate in the Condura Run.

To this end, our plan is quite simple: 

We will encourage those that register for the Condura Run to give a donation of Php 100, that can help a child with cleft deformity smile again.  Aside from being able to help, the runner will be  given a special edition running bib that says “ I am running to make a child smile”. 

We plan to print about 2,500 bibs to be distributed among the various registration points of the Condura Run which will be set up inside Nike shops in Metro Manila.

Hopefully, we envision thousands of runners wearing the racing bibs indicating they don’t just run, they run for others.

Centennial Renewal Project

By | Events and Launches, Great Achievements | One Comment

It takes great leadership with vision and a great team to implement that vision! The past 3 years have been a time of transformation for the Manila Polo Club in preparation for its 100 years anniversary.  Congratulations to all those that helped make all this possible – the past 3 administrations, the committees and to our friend and General Manager, Pat Puyat-Palanca.  Pat told me that they hired her for this purpose and this project.  I can confidently say that they did hire the right person for the job!
