"We want to tap into the Filipinos' love for running and turn it into an activity that will help further the cause of technical vocational education and training. Specifically, we are doing this to help raise funds for our delegates to the ASEAN Skills Competition, who will be doing the country proud as they showcase their skills and try to win the gold."
