- adidas 3-stripes with 3-stars and a sun
I’ve been lucky enough to run three races abroad this year—Guam, New York, and Sacramento. Each time, as I packed for the trip, there would be a last minute mad hunt for any apparel that screamed: I’m Pinoy and I’m proud of it! For the Guam KoKo Road Race, I simply pinned the Philippine flag [...]
