PNRC Million
Volunteer Run (MVR) committee chair Rey E. Quisumbing in a press release said
the PRC will be holding its nationwide MVR year 2 on Feb. 10 with the tagline,
“I choose to run to save lives.”
He said the
first MVR that was held on Dec. 4, 2011 was a huge success with the
participation of 450,000 runners.
According to
Quisumbing, the MVR aims to serve as a driving force in advancing the spirit of
volunteerism to address today’s humanitarian challenges.
“The PNRC
also strives to empower the nation against dangers of disaster by developing
our youth and volunteers as humanitarian soldiers. The MVR also hopes to raise
funds for PNRC youth and volunteers trainings on disaster management and
equipping every community with the life-saving skills,” Quisumbing added.
The MVR
chair said a registration fee of P50.00 will be charged for each student/pupil
runner and P100.00 for employees, businessman, company owners and officers.
Registrants will receive a registration form and a whistle.
The assembly
time will be at 5:00 a.m. in front of the city hall and the run will start at
exactly 6:00 a.m. where all runners are requested to wear red shirt during the
run, said Quisumbing.
