CERC supports Eco Dash Run

CEBU, Philippines - The Cebu Executive Runners Club (CERC) has taken up the cause to support the Bottle School Project by joining Ayala Center Cebu’s Eco Dash: The Bottle School Run.

More than 30 members have pledged to run in the 10K and some of their family members will also run in the 5K. 

“We at the CERC are very proud to pledge our full support for this environmental running event. In our own way, we would like to contribute and help,” says CERC President Jesse Taborada. “The CERC will be donating at least 1,000 PET Bottles and more than 30 members will be running,” adds Taborada.    

Meyrick Jacalan of CERC and ASAP Cebu Advertising Services & Promotions is calling on other running groups to join in to support the cause.

"The Eco Dash Run is something worthwhile for runners to join. This is a start of a movement that will make a difference. Perhaps, the other running groups can embrace this advocacy that Ayala Center has started," says Jacalan. "Our group, CERC and all employees of my company (ASAP Cebu) have committed to join the run," he adds.

The Eco Dash: The Bottle School Run event is geared towards building Cebu’s first bottle school, a structure that makes use of recycled 1.5 and 2-litre PET bottles to replace hollow blocks.

The groundbreaking project is a sustainable solution for the country’s shortage of classrooms as well as an eco-friendly way of reducing landfill waste.  – PR (THE FREEMAN)
