Last Saturday, Sept. 17, Eskuelan San Francisco de Borja held its 2nd Annual ESFDB 2.5-Mile Bull Run\/Walk fundraiser. <\/p>\n

This year\u2019s fundraiser is led by the school\u2019s Student Body Council Organization (STUCO) and their fellow students.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur annual Run\/Walkathon is one of the most challenging and exciting ways to support our school,\u201d said STUCO president Jeremy John Atalig, II.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe funds raised will go toward our students\u2019 activities and students incentives,\u201d added Atalig, II. <\/p>\n

Atalig II also stated \u201cMostly importantly it\u2019s a great way to spend a healthy fitness day with parents, families, and friends.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI applaud the STUCO officers and students for leading this year\u2019s annual event. They did a great job soliciting pledges to help their school,\u201d said administrator and principal Carmen H. Atalig.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Run\/Walkathon serves as one of the school\u2019s biggest fundraiser, to not only help their school, but also to promote healthy lifestyle with the students and parents,\u201d added Atalig.<\/p>\n

In addition, Atalig praised the courage of one of the kindergarten student and the youngest amongst his schoolmates, Dane Mesngon who made the 2.5-mile walk without taking a rest.<\/p>\n

Mesngon enjoyed his walk and it was a great experience. His grandfather Ignacio Mesngon was there to witness his grandson cross the finish line.<\/p>\n

Also, present was last year\u2019s STUCO president Angelo S. Lucero. Lucero showed his support by participating at his alma mater\u2019s event.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur goal with this run\/walkathon is to draw attention to health. I encourage parents and children to change their lifestyle by selecting healthy habits,\u201d said board chair Edward Maratita Jr. \u201cAn ounce of workout is worth a pound of fitness.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe congratulate the STUCO officers and their fellow students for leading the fundraising event. They did an outstanding job,\u201d added Maratita.<\/p>\n

The administration, faculty, staff, board of directors, and students would like to extend their appreciation to the parents, friends, pledge donors, Tita Hocog, resident director Eusebio Manglona and the Department of Public Safety, and deputy director Dennis Mendiola and the Rota Department of Fire and EMS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
