Yours truly have been an avid fan of fun runs and other festive events, not only in the metro but also in other parts of the country, as a proof of that you'll read some of my stories here in Mommy's MAG Life. Today, I'll be sharing one of the upcoming event this coming December 2018 and take note it is an event that will happen in the Visayan region. Amidst the historic landmarks, churches and houses that has spanned for centuries, the municipality of Zarraga, Iloilo will serve as host of LABAN NG LAHI 2018 (Global Platoon Run Challenge).

 

LABAN NG LAHI is an advocacy project organized by Camboayon Sports Events Management wherein proceeds will go to their livelihood programs and their partner organizations across the country. This is also part of the town’s annual week long celebration of the ZARRAGA PANTAT FESTIVAL to be held this December 16-18, 2018.

The event is also for peace advocacy, as this aim to welcome groups like the CPP/NPA, MILF, MNLF, CPLA, RPA-ABB, for them to participate in the name of National Peace and Reconciliation.


The organization will also be funding "Itikan Love Projects" which is a duck raising program aimed to benefit 1000-2000 of the poorest households per province. This also will hasten to improve and support local and national tourism efforts so people would get to see a quaint Filipino town as its 24 barangays welcome you to Zarraga, one of Iloilo’s charming municipalities.



Of course this festive event organized by COL JONATHAN BALDEVARONA and PROFESSOR NOLAN BANDA will be joined by different stars who will be performing at the Laban ng Lahi 2018.
