- Pinay In Action 2010
Pinay In Action is a race that carries a whole lot of meaning for me:
As a woman, I fully support this race led by Sen. Pia Cayetano as it’s all about women power! It promotes women rights, health, and empowerment and includes females with women-specific type of cancers as its beneficiary. Go Pinay!
As a female [...] - Pinay In Action 2009

It’s been a great week for my legs so far. No signs of injury at all. I haven’t felt this good in weeks. Thank God!
As such, my partner and I have registered for our next race. I believe this will be my fastest race ever. Well, mainly because the distance is probably the shortest ever [...] - Is Running Today’s “It” Sport?
Is it just me or are there a lot more features on running and races in local newspapers nowadays? It’s great that running is getting a fair share of the sports spotlight lately—although it is still a far cry from the exposure of basketball and boxing.

She ran for the Philippine Senate in 2004—and won the top sixth slot making her the youngest female Senator in the country. That is no mean feat, but for Senator Companera Pia S. Cayetano, that is just one of the many achievements she can tuck under her belt. You see, aside from her work in [...]
- Pinay In Action (P.I.A.)
I woke up as giddy as a schoolgirl at 430 in the morning of March 18, 2007. It was the day of my first ever run at the Pinay In Action 5k/10k Fun Run in Fort Bonifacio Global City. There were a lot of questions in my mind: what do I eat for [...]
