More than 5,000 running enthusiasts heeded the call of Earth Day
Network Philippines to protect, respect, and oversee the sensible and
sustainable care of Mother Earth as they sprinted around Bonifacio Global City
for the "Pro‐Earth Run" Saturday morning.
Earth Day Network Philippines President Bert Guevarra said the fun run
is a kick‐off activity for
the 2014 Earth Day Celebration on April 22, 2014.
"We want to promote earth day everyday, everywhere for everyone.
We must have a conscious effort to take good care of our environment
everyday," Guevarra said.
The Earth Day Network Philippines, a non‐profit, non‐stock
corporation, leads more than two thousand (2,000) entities from different
sectors of the Philippines that work towards environmental protection and
conservation.
