CEBU, Philippines - It's all systems go for the third edition of the Make A Difference (MAD) Run on March 10 in brgy. Lahug, this city.

Joel Garganera, one of the organizers, said they want to bring back the good old days of running wherein the registration fee is so reasonable unlike at present wherein the normal rate ranges from P350 to P500.

“I remember nakadagan pako sauna nga P50. Mureklamo na gani mga runners if P100. It’s very expensive nowadays, that’s why we’re bringing back the old good days nga barato ra ang registration fee,” said Garganera.
