I co-hosted the press conference for the 34th Milo Marathon held at the Bayview Park Hotel on Roxas Boulevard. Along with Mr. Lester Castillo, head of PR for Milo, I helped facilitate the Q&A for the press.

This is the first year Milo is holding its races for a cause. If in previous years all they were doing was providing venues for developing Philippine running, this year they’re donating 4,000 new pairs of running shoes to children who are in need of footwear. Milo organizers realized, as more people joined their races every year, that there were participants (particularly children) who competed barefoot because they had no shoes.

Some beneficiaries will be racing 3K on July 4 sporting their new shoes.
