Fun run to commemorate Rizal’s birth anniversary

MANILA, Philippines - The Department of Education (DepEd) has announced that a simultaneous national fun run is set to commemorate the 150th birth anniversary of National Hero Dr. Jose Rizal where instead of the participants shelling out a registration fee, they will be given a chance to donate school materials and volunteer their time for education-related activities.

With theme, "Every Runner, a Finisher; Every Finisher, a Winner," Education Secretary Armin Luistro said that the national fun run for education-which will be conducted simultaneously on June 19 throughout the country-will give the participants a choice of 1-kilometer or 2-kilometer walk or run.

"This activity will provide an opportunity for education stakeholders in the community to unite and manifest love for country," Luistro said. "By directly giving resources and time for education we are actually honoring our national hero and helping our country."

The participants to the fun run will be asked to accomplish a pledge form to signify support to schools. "The completed forms will be submitted to the local registration committee one week prior to the activity," Luistro explained.

The DepEd chief added that the pledges or actual donations will be accounted for and turned over to the schools. "Assistance may be in the form of donations-in-kind or volunteer man-days or labor support."

The donations-in-kind, said Luistro, could be school supplies such as pencils, ball pens, ruled paper, notebooks, crayons, chalk, and the like; classroom furniture such chairs, tables, cabinets, and others; equipment such as fax machine, computers, printers, electric fans, etc.; classrooms; or shop equipment particularly those that can be used for technical-vocational education such as Industrial Arts, Home Economics, Agri-Fishing, and others.

"Volunteer man-days or labor support could be resource person for a particular subject; tutorial assistance; peer counseling; assistance to teachers like preparing visual aids, teacher aid; school maintenance and repairs; or teaching," Luistro said.

Aside from getting donations for schools, Luistro stressed that the "national fun run aims to raise awareness that every Filipino is a stakeholder in maintaining quality education" which is in line with the DepEd's Education For All (EFA) goals that the country has pledged to meet by 2015.

"The fun run also encourages participants, especially the students, to become a finisher not just of the activity but of their education in pursuit of learning and global competency," Luistro explained.

The fun run will be spearheaded by all DepEd Division Offices (DOs) nationwide. "All participating DOs will handle the preparatory work which shall include the organization of different committees to promote the activity to all stakeholders and the coordination as well as collaboration with the volunteers, sponsors and media," he added. Meanwhile, the Fun Run Coordinators will also be designated to ensure proper coordination.

To facilitate the proper flow of events, Luistro ordered the DOs will work hand in hand with their Regional Office, local government units (LGUs), barangays and the local Philippine National Police (PNP). "They shall determine the system of inviting community members, associations, students and other groups to advocate this activity," he ended.

Known as the country's national hero, Rizal was born on June 19, 1861. He was the most popular advocate for reforms during the Spanish colonial period.

He was also the founder of La Liga Filipina, an organization that paved the way for the birth of the Katipunan, led by Andres Bonifacio and Emilio Aguinaldo. In instituting reforms, Rizal pushed for peaceful means rather than by violent revolution.

Rizal's execution on December 30, 1896 in Bagumbayan is commemorated as a local holiday popularly known as Rizal Day. His execution made him a martyr of the Philippine Revolution.

El Rey del Bolero Ranchero is a Rizal deadringer right down to the jacket & tie. Therefore, Jose Rizal is a Filipino who looks Mexican and Javier Solis is a Mexican who looks Filipino.
