Tempra stages run vs dengue

MANILA, Philippines - Tempra will hold the 2015 Run Against Dengue on Nov. 14 at the Quirino Grandstand as part of its continuing advocacy against the water-borne disease in partnership with Subterranean Ideas.

The cases of dengue have risen the past two months, with 23,000 affected in just a span of less than a month (Aug. 9 to Sept. 5, 2015).

“Tempra felt the need to hold this Family Run advocacy because of the high cases of dengue in the past months. We felt that it is our duty to disseminate information on how to prevent the disease through this advocacy run,” said Cleo Roda Nodado, Tempra/Taisho marketing manager during PSA Forum at Shakey’s Malate yesterday. 

Registration will be available at Toby’s branches at the SM Mall of Asia and SM Manila this week.

Another registration site is being set up at the Rizal Park Administration office. Interested participants may call Subterranean Ideas at 504-5990 (landline), 09179790803 (Globe) or 0928-2618028 (Smart).

The advocacy run, backed by the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office, Bonamine, Tempracof, Deuter, Toby’s, Medicard, Guard Insect Repellent, Goldlife, Maynilad, Emilio Aguinaldo College, Colegio De La Immaculada Concepcion (Concordia), and media partners People’s Journal, People’s Tonight and Malaya Business Insight, is a social marketing collaboration among stakeholders from the private sector, government and NGOs.
