Save the Marikina Watershed (Del Run) – Singlet Design:

Del-Singlet-Green-Revised-March-2012

Rationale:
The Marikina Watershed is now on its sorry state. But its not too late to save it from further degradation.

President Benigno Aquino III, declared September 26 as “Save Sierra Madre Day” the anniversary of Typhoon Ondoy which brought heavy rains resulting flooding in major cities in Metro Manila and took the lives of many of our countrymen. Most of the flooding can be attributed to the continuous deforestation of the Sierra Madre mountains.

Two years after Tropical Storm “Ondoy”, the victims of its most devastating wrath, remained inundated with promises and that never again would they ever be placed at such horrific risk.

Marikina cannot do it alone. It should be a concerted effort of all stakeholders to restore the green forest of Sierra Madre. Sec. Ramon Paje promised to plant 5 million seedlings over 10,000 hectares up to 2016, the end of President Benigno Aquino III’s term.

In a “Statement of Commitment” he signed with other stakeholders, the agency will plant five million trees to rehabilitate the Marikina watershed to enhance its water-holding capacity to reduce siltation and flash flooding.

The watershed was also seen as a potential source of water supply for Metro Manila, and plays a vital role in regulating flooding in the low-lying areas of Rizal and the Metropolis.

Among the endangered wildlife species found in the Marikina watershed include forest trees like narra, red and white lauan, bagtikan, kamagong, and molave.
Another Ondoy Feared

Congressman Miro Quimbo said that to make the watershed effective in preventing floods, at least 25 million trees had to be replanted. He said that almost 80 percent of the 28,000-hectare watershed had been denuded. He also added that it would take at least 10 years to replant the area.

With global warming taking its toll, we continue to worry that more rains will be forthcoming in the next two years, and we cannot wait that long. We fear another Ondoy happening unless immediate and comprehensive flood mitigation programs are implemented along the river.”

Quimbo also explored the possibility of putting up a dam in the town of Rodriguez (formerly Montalban) as the quickest solution.

Owing to the siltation of the Marikina River, further aggravated by upstream Ondoy two years ago, the river’s containment capacity is down by 60 percent from eight years years ago.

Water Impounding
Quimbo also stressed out that a dam located upriver would contain the rain water for a few hours instead of immediately bringing it down to the Marikina River system.

The dam can also be a source of energy which the country needs in the next three years. Based on the reports of the Department of Energy (DOE), the country will have critical levels of power by 2014.

Other intermediate steps that need to be immediately funded are water impounding areas in Antipolo City, slope and embankment protection along the Marikina River. He called for a more comprehensive plan to address flooding in Marikina that will also involve its surrounding cities and municipalities, especially Antipolo, Pasig, San Mateo and Rodriguez. Ninety percent of the floodwater that Marikina catches comes from Antipolo and Rodriguez.

“Whatever due diligence Mariqueños do in terms of waste segregation, cleanup and rehabilatation of our drainage and creek system, if our neighbors do not cooperate, we will continue to suffer,”

“Water rises so fast and with less rain than it used to. Now, heavy rains that last two hours already swell the river. It used to take at least six to seven hours of continuous rain for that to happen,” he said.

First Line of Defense
Marikina Mayor Del de Guzman vowed to make the watershed reforestation his priority. “It is called Marikina watershed because it is ours. And the responsibilities to take care of it and protect it lie with us,” De Guzman stressed.

“This is our first line of defense. When this is gone, all the floodwater will go toward Marikina,”

A Marathon to Save Marikina Watershed
Marikina Marathon (Del Run) aims to stimulate awareness and intensify campaign on “Saving the Marikina Watershed”. Dubbed DEL RUN, the event will cover 5, 10, 21 kilometers of roads within the city. For every registration 10 trees will be planted. The proceeds of the project will be used for a more massive tree planting at the watershed.

Del Run is an opportunity for people who care for a green environment to converge to have fun and to support a noble cause. Ondoy’s stigma lingers, but something can be done to prevent it from happening again. The time is now.

  5. This is a run worth joining as compared to the NatGeo Earth Day Run on the same day.

    More than 50% off sa mga namamahalan sa NatGeo.

  8. Naiyak ako sa write-up. Tumulo ang luha ko’t sipon habang binabasa ito. Pero naniniwala ako, isa itong totoong advocacy run. Sasalihan ko ito para makadagdag sa pondo ng pagtatanim ng puno.

  9. MAY UMEPAL PA SA TAKBO NA ‘TO,SI MAYOR DEL R.DE GUZMAN kaya pala “Del Run”. Iniisip ko kanina kung bakit “Del Run” ang alias ng run na ito yun pala pangalan ni Mayor. Buwisit ka Mayor, tanggalin mo pangalan mo diyan, pati ba naman ganitong project pupulitikahin mo pa para mapromote pangalan mo. Ok na sana yung advocacy, bakit kailangan pang kumampanya yang pangalan mo para sa eleksiyon. Buwisit! Di ko na sasalihan to. “DEL RUN” pala ha, epal mo.

  10. Jeff, wag mo tatanggalin post ko ha. Nakakabuwisit lang na malaman na may mga pulitikong gumagamit pa ng running event at advocacy pa kunwari yung Marikina River restoration, para lang mapromote yung pangalan nila.

  11. agree ako sa yo Rotech. yun lang ang nagpasira talaga. kahit noon pa,di ako sumasali sa mga patakbo basta may pulitiko na umeepal. balak pang manggamit. medyo pinag-iisipan ko pa to. kaso baka di na talaga tanggalin ng kagalang galang na mayor ang pangalan niya sa run na to.
    o baka may mag-react na naman diyan at sasabihin: “e di wag kayong sumali”…

  13. Tama organizer dapat d marikina marathon o DEL RUN
    kaso hanggang 21 k lng d mo masasabing marathon, kung DEL RUN to dapat libre lhat patakbo pala ni mayor del to! So libre dapat o babaan ang registration medyo mahal para sa estudyante.

  14. what the heck na may DEL RUN? wala naman word na del run sa marikina watershed. ok na sana pero wag na DAHIL SA EPAL NA DEL RUN. pass sa nat geo, pass din dito. mag antay antay lang baka may ibang patakbo na mura at walang epal :)

  15. ” Del Run”, anong connection sa Marikina Run at pagsagip sa kalikasan? Para tayong running advertisment nito. Election na next year. Pag natalo si Del De Guzman, ang run next year eh Marides Run, for Marides Fernando. =)

    Nabwibwisit nga ako pag yung mga Mayor ang nag iintroduce sa Showtime eh, hay naku.

    Sobrang lapit lang namin sa Sports Center. Pero di kami tatakbo dito kung di nila tatanggalin yung Del. ( Wala namang pumipilit sa amin, pero a lot of runners will agree to me for sure)

    Tsaka ang Marathon eh 42km. Gawin na lang nilang Marikina Fun Run. :)

  18. daming nagalit ah.. kanya kanya idea lang yan… di wag kau sumali… sa dami na nag patakbo mga politika dito kau grabe magreact.. basta ako sali ako dito para makatulong sa pag ayos water shed ng marikina at maiwasan ang baha.. ung sinasalihan nyo iba ang mahal ng entry.. tanung ba sulit ang entry nyo?

  20. Hi guys,

    please support this event, kasi eto po ata ang unang half marathon na ginawa sa maikina, and the route is new hindi po yung typical na run sa BGC and MOA. mejo panget lang po kasi nahaluan ng pangalan ni mayor. pero sana i support nyo na din po para po di na maulit yung ondoy.

    kalimutan po muna natin si mayor. may option naman po na wag sya iboto sa eleksyon. kahit ako dismayado dahil may pangal ni mayor. pero in my opinion po. mag run pa din ako dito to support saving marikina river. yaan na natin si mayor kahit nakakainis yung name nya sa singlet.

    Thank you sa lahat ng runners na nagparamdam ng support at nag comment tama lahat ng sinabi nyo. nakakainis pag nahaluan ng pulitika.

    sana may finishers medal souvenir lang kahit simple okay na po.

    para kay Mayor peace po tayo, and next time wag nyo na po sana isama name nyo sa mga run. kasi po panget tignan.

    Mayor peace ulet tayo :)

  23. hahaha. dami ko tawa dito. Malapit na kasi eleksyon kaya sumisigaw ang mukha ni mayor sa poster. ahehe, peace mayor, baka makita to ng ibang mayor papa run na din next year sabay sa eleksyon? zinggggg!

  24. this is a run with a good cause … i just hope that organizers will consider re-scheduling this worthy event dahil kasabay ng NatGeo run

  26. Kung hindi ba politically motivated ang takbo na ‘to, malaki pa yung pangalan na “DEL RUN” kaysa doon sa “Marikina Marathon”.

  27. Sana sa press release nila pinag aalis nung mga pangalan ng politiko…and the singlet smacks of politics…parang magiging walking/running political ad yung mga runners kapag nagkataon…sasali ako for the simple reason in the advocacy not the personality behind the run…pero gagamit ako ng ibang singlet na walang bahid politika…

  28. Tama yung mga nag comment. Dapat alisin yung pangalan ng mayor dito kahit sya pa nag organize nito…takbo para sa marikina watershed ito, eh bakit del run? Ibig sabihin tumatakbo tayo para kay mayor? The mayor has no monopoly in saving the watershed…it’s everybody’s concern…kaya habang may time pa, pakialis na yung name mo mayor sa singlet.HIndi ako galit kay mayor kasi di ko naman siya personal na kakilala pero delicadeza dictates that you should not use the event to promote your own political ambitions.baka galisin yung mga susuot nyan sa takbo…at tama din na half-marathon lang ito…42Km ang marathon…

  29. Kng hndi a q nagkkmali s speech ng president,. Ayw ni pres.aquino ng wang2x at alm q ayw dn nyang nilalagay ng mga pulitiko ang name nila s mga pinapagwa nila,. kc Pera ng taong byan ang ginagastos dun s pinapagawa nila,. Nagrrun kya c mr.president? Mpasali d2, at bka mlibre tyo.? Peace(“,)Tyo

  31. i agree that the mayor is using this race to promote himself. but let us not forget that this race is a run for a cause. we cannot have the best of both worlds as we have to make a choice. i choose the latter and support this race to save the marikina watershed.

  32. haha oo nga noh. . malaki ng yung DEL RUN. .

    saktong sakto del run – run for mayor ba ulit?

    @rotech

    post na lang natin sa fb ng mga media ng mapansin naman at malaman ang kanilang opinyon kung political nga o hindi lol

  35. join kami dito pero Mayor dapat tumakbo ka rin at sumali dahil SA Del run mo Pangatawanan mo,sabayan mo kami mga Runners baka puro pa picture ka lang sa stage niyan.ginamit mo pa ang ilog sa maaga mong kampanya Mahiya ka naman.,.

  36. to those who were turned off by the political ad but turned on by the event beneficiary i suggest that you join this race but do not use the singlet.

    let us run together not to promote a politician or political group but to help save the marikina watershed.

  38. @prefontain, tumakbo kami sa DZMM, tumakbo naman si Gabby Lopez, yung president ng ABS- CBN. Kaso may special treatment. May sarili syang support team, hahaha. Kaya kung tatakbo tong si Mayor Del, malamang ganun din. Sa QCIM, sumali si Sonny Belmonte dati ng 5k, walang support. Parang ordinaryong tao lang…

    Yung ibang runners like me, singlet na lang ang souvenir. Di na namin maisusuot yun pag eleksyon na. May DEL kasi. Badtrip…

    Yung PDA run nung Feb 14, may BINAY sa likod ng singlet. Ang ginawa ng team namin, tinakpan namin ng ibang logo. Wala kaming paki kung may ma- offend kami. We’ll never run for someone who has a position in government. =)

  39. Listen if the restoration of the water shed is really i mean really a priority, the funds needed would have been allocated -_-. The local government would have focused their efforts, time and money in restoring the area not organizing and promoting a running event with the name of the FRIGGIN MAYOR. It is a political ad.

    When Ondoy happened people who helped wholeheartedly didnt advertise their names on their donations. They just helped whether it was monetary, material or time they gave up. The mere fact the mayor named the run after his name already shows his true intentions for holding this run. It is insulting for him to use a potential good cause and destroy its true purpose by poisoning it with his name.

  40. if you people want to help their are other ways of helping but i dont think this run is the best way of helping restore the water shed. It would be more of helping a mayor look good. Either way i personally find it an insult being called a run for a cause when its a run for one man to benefit the most from it.

  41. Some of you are saying to still support this run and turn a blind eye about advertising the mayor. If thats your reasoning then you are still supporting him because youre letting him get away with it still. If you support the run then you support both, the cause and the mayor. Its a package deal both the support for restoring the water shed and supporting the mayor simply because the run is still named after him.

  42. You look at the poster and all the evidences of advance electoral campaign are there. It has the name of Mayor Del as the main title of this run and it has his very recognizable picture. The only line that could be missing is, “Vote for me in 2013”. This event could be a precedence to other politicians. We all love running as a sport, as a lifestyle, as a discipline, and to allow this sport to be maligned by politicians is like allowing my self and other runners be used like puppets to serve their personal interest. NO TO POLITICKING IN RUNNING.

  44. agree with pacer, we can support this run but not wear the singlet to show our support for the cause (the marikina watershed) at the same time show our dislike for using the run as an advance political campaign

  45. to newbie_runner in supporting the run you are supporting both the rehab of the water shed and the mayor. Its a package deal if you join the run, you cant just support the cause because the name of the event itself is that of the mayors moreover the way he is advertising the event is like he though of the idea therefore he gets the credit.

    Like i said if you want to help theres a better way of helping without making only the mayor look good.

  46. Medyo naturn-off din ako sa politica sa run na ‘to pero kung binasa nyo yung write-up e “For every registration 10 trees will be planted. The proceeds of the project will be used for a more massive tree planting at the watershed.”

    That’s 10 trees per runner kumpara sa 3 mangroves per runner sa Condura… di na rin masama diba?

    At ang cute pa ng singlet!

  47. atleast for the condura run there was no politics involved. The concepcion brothers advocacy about helping is genuine, which is why the mangroves will be planted. They started the condura runs because they really wanted help.They did not name it the concepcion sky way marathon.

    In this case how sure are we that the funds will indeed go in restoring the water shed and not be diverted into funding any political campaign.

  48. The good mayor just did a smart thing to serve himself. Ang ganda niyang napackage yung sarili niya. Paano niya ipinopromote yung sarili niya, ganito:

    1. Una, pinaalala niya yung Ondoy sa mga tao. Siyempre, mag-iisip ka may punto nga naman.
    2. Pangalawa, hihikayatin ka niyang sumali kasi kinukumbinsi ka niya na bilang isang runner, pwede kang maging part ng eco-advocacy (ng Marikina)
    3. Ang baba ng presyo, kayang kaya mo.
    4. Bago ang ruta nga naman.

    Pero itong mga sumusunod ang hindi “emphasized” pero makikita mo na may motibo:
    1. Title pa lang ng run “bidang-bida” sa pagpapapogi si Mayor, ang laki “DEL RUN”, yung Marikina Marathon, majority ay small fonts.
    2. Yung picture niya na di naman kailangang nandodoon, kitang-kita mo agad.
    3. Yung singlet, harap at likod, pangalan niya ang mababasa mo. Yung sa likod nga, garapalan ng pangalan niya. SAna man lang ginawa na ring “DEL RUN” para di naman masyadong halatang inaangat niya pangalan niya. Ano nakalagay… “DEL”.

    Hindi ba’t indikasyon na yan na paunti-unti pumupusisyon na sa kampanya si Mayor? Pwede namang ipromote na lang niya ang City of Marikina, huwag na lang unahin naman yung sagradong pangalang “Del”. At isa pa, di ako naniniwala na di kayang pondohan ng Marikina ang seedlings. May seedbank po sa La Mesa Ecopark, ang daming binhi doon, coordination lang niyo siguro kailangan. Eh bakit kailangan na makita ng maraming tao sa isang crowd-drawing event si Mayor? Eh kasi malapit na 2013, kailangang makaipon ng pogi points. At magandang gamitin nga naman ang insidente ng Ondoy, nakakalbong Marikina Watershed at ang patok na patok na event sa ngayon…ang Running. I rest my case.

  49. oo nga dahil may pangalan ni mayor, dapat mag pa medal ka at shirt pero asilin m yung mukha mo sa shirt at name mo.

    hehehe.. mayor bati tayo =)

  50. @rotech

    di ako mamayan ng marikina, pero kung totoo ang sinasabi mo. . .hmm may hidden agenda kayang naghihintay dito? :)
    Coordination tama ka na naman doon at pwede rin naman mag promote ng voluterism para sa mga mag tatanim para di na gumastos.

    MAHUSAY AT SALUDO AKO SAYO Mayor sa stratehiyang palpak. . di mo nga naman na mailalathala ang PAGMUMUKHA mo sa patakbong ito kapag panahon na ng kampanya dahil labag sa comelec rules un na mainvolved ang mga switik na pulitiko sa anomang activities. :)

    kung watershed nga ng bayan nyo ang iniitindi mo, ipaubaya mo na yan sa ibang organizer at suportahan na lang. . .huwag mo nang ipagdikdikan ang pagmumukha mo at pangalan mo dyan.

    PF. . kindly post this message please. . para sa mamamayang pilipino naman ito :)

    **di man ito mailathala sa site na ito makakarating naman sa mga medyang concern sa mga ganitong kaso. . .

    tulad nga ng sabi sa mga nasa itaas. . opnion ko ito at hahayaan ko na ang media ang humatol kung totoong political strategy ito o tunay na may Peso, i mean Puso si mayor para sa watershed.

  52. Pngtapat sna s natgeo,. ang problem my political motivation,. Patangal n lng ng “delrun” s front@back ng singlet para wla ng problema,. Nagda2lawang isip 2loy kmi sumali s run nyo. Salamat kng pkikinggan,. Kng Hindi alam n??? Positive (politika talaga). Peace (para s nk2rami,. vote now:-)

  54. @jerry:

    i agree with you but let us not forget the main purpose of this race. we may opt not to use the singlet so as not to promote any person/group.

    i just want to add that condura mangrove advocacy was miniscule compared to camsur marathon when it planted a million trees/mangroves.

  55. another reason why im contemplating of joining this race is the race route. it is nice to add that traffic rules are strictly enforced in marikina. besides this is our chance to discover new running routes that we can revisit.

  56. sure bang 100% ng kikitain mapupunta sa Marikina Watershed.. baka mangyari “TAKBO PARA SA KAY MAYOR”.. hahahaha kung sasali ako dito sure na ndi ko susuutin yung singlet nag dadalawang isip pako kung sasali ako.. ang aga ng politica ni mayor.
    hahahaha

  57. join ako dito para maiba naman ang route map. MOA, BGC at UP lng kasi madalas kong salihan ehh… di ko na lang isusuot yung singlet para di maging running ad ni mayor. Panira kasi yung name eh. Pero kung mabasa nila mga comment at desisyunan na alisin name sa singlet, eh di ayos… Anyway, go pa rin ako dito para sa cause at para na rin sa akin. training din to eh ;)

  58. camsur marathon was organized by camsur LGU and an official receipt was issued upon registration fee payment.

    let us hope that this race organized by marikina LGU will also issue an official receipt upon registration fee payment.

    this will somehow minimize issues about misuse of public funds by politicians in charge of the LGU.

  59. Can the organizer be more specific as to the registration details? is there a contact person? contact numbers? exact location of registration booth? start and deadline of registration?

  60. post na lang to sa fb..nung una ko makita to sabi ko wow bago kasi marikina at for watershed,, ( saw marikina after ondoy and grabe talaga nangyari ) then binasa ko detail and nakita pic ni mayor at ang singlet di ko alam kung matatawa ako dahil corny o matatawa ako dahil halatang may pulitika eh at ang masama niyan baka maging open or magbigay idea ito sa mga pulitika sa ibang lugar para magpatakbo nang mura pero may bahid pulitika..sana di na nilagyan nang name.. sana run for marikina na lang or run for watershed ganun yung makabayan nang logo ot theme hindi yung para lang sa isang tao…hay anu ba yan diskarteng buwisit

  61. Tama si Pacer.. tumakbo tayo ng iba ang suot na singlet/s wag ung ke Mayor.

    Pero kakapag duda pa din ung cause ni Mayor este nila pala. Eh wala naman talagang watershed ang Marikina. Nagkataon Marikina lang ang catch basin ng baha ni Ondoy.

    Ung watershed nasa pagitan ng Montalban, Gen. Nakar at Tanay ay maisasalba kung titigilan ng taga Metro Manila ang pagbili ng uling.

    No amount of tree planting can save the watershed if we don’t stop the charcoal making and illegal logging business in Sierra Madre mountains.

    Pero mura to hah… =)

  62. walang watershed ang marikina? toinkz. . oo grabe nga nangyari sa marikina after ondoy, i witnessed that. . right after ng ondoy andun kami to help our brother in faith. .mabaho at parang ghost town ang bayan nila. . hmmm balik sa patakbo. . hmm again. . did someone call the attention of media already?if runner’s voice lang kasi i think ignore lang yan pero kung media, powerful ang voice nila eh. just asking for their opinion lang naman (IMO)

  63. Kung magi-stick sa plan na ganito ang singlet design,madali lang tanggalin ung “DEL RUN”, takpan lang natin ng bib number ung “DEL RUN”,right. Mayor, malayo pa ang eleksyon db? masyado naman maaga ata tayong magkabit ng election posters natin..

  67. siguro kung me medal yan mukha ni Mayor…. hihihihihihihihi…
    Payag ba kayo na mukha ni mayor ang nasa 21km Finishers Medal…

  69. napublished sa sunday inquirer yung race route nito. laking gulat ko na dadaan sa barangay tumana! ito ang squatters area ng marikina city.

    ang tanong sasali ka pa ba?

  70. DEL R DE GUZMAN RUN!
    SANA NILAGYAN NYA NG MUKHA NYA UNG
    SINGLET, MEDAL, AT FINISHER SHIRT IF MERON!
    PARA SIKAT NA TALAGA SYA….. HARHARHAR…

  71. Guys hindi daw si Mayor ang nagpalagay ng pangalan nya, actually pina-aalis pala nya yun and it was the organizers who put Mayor’s name sa singlet.I just read it sa news (Philippine Star)awhile ago. Kaya join na kayo, isipin nyo nalang for Mother Nature. Good luck Runners!

  73. Sasali na lang yung team namin pag pinakita na yung final design ng shirt. =)

    Kung lalagyan ng mukha yung singlet, nakakatakot yun. Yung Run for Rizal last year, may mukha ni Rizal sa likod, creepy tignan, hahaha…

    Sa medal, pwede na ring may DEL, basta liitan nyo lang sana. Pero best pa rin ang logo ng Marikina kung may medal man.

  76. I agree with Rotech’s comments regarding the marikina mayor packaging himself in a very good avenue like this running event. He should have copy the Camsur International Marathon that the governor had organized but nowhere in the running shirt that you will see his name.
    hmmmm … at the expense of runner, the good mayor might be surprise to see the runners seeing different running singlets during the run and will opt not to don his “DEL” running shirt. And malamang mabawasan pa siya ng boto from Marikina runners on next election due to his scheme to use such an event. Napaisip tuloy ako not to run na lang dito … pinulitika na baka di pa mapunta sa dapat magpapuntahan ang proceeds.

  77. i like to join kc marikenya ako, but a first timer in joining fun runs, daming reactions that needs to be answered, calling the organizers

  80. san mismo yun reg sa sm marikina?after ko magrunning dead ng sat ng gabi diretso sana ako 21k dito..please more detailed reg site..thanks!more power!

  83. ok na sana,pati ba naman fun run pinulitika na.ang laki pa ng mukha ni del.wala namang water shed sa marikina.(nasa montalban ang water shed)baka naman for marikina tree planting

  85. whats with the special prizes?
    P1000 first 10 y/o and below? for 5k
    P1000 first 10 y/o and below? for 10k
    P1000 for the oldest runner to finish 21k …

  86. POLITICAL STRATEGY… from the name of the run up to the interviews…

    NO DISCRIMINATION to slum area but really need to have extra PRECAUTIONS…

    WILL RUN FOR A CAUSE? very good! but “boo!” for those who will run with blindfolds or wearing a different singlet… still you will indirectly help “HIM” politically…

    WE HAVE OTHER OPTIONS TO HELP THE ENVIRONMENT… all yo have to do is ask… we have many NGO’s asking for volunteers…

    STILL A RUNNER??? try to find something like HYUNDAI RUN FOR A CAUSE or CONDURA SKYWAY MARATHON!!! HYUNDAI/CONDURA name is different from a PONTIUS PILATE name… MARKETING STRATEGY is a way different from POLITICAL STRATEGY!!!

  89. Simpleng pangangampanya kahit malayo ang election…Most or I would say almost all politicians involve in this event to make them more popular…IMO( in my opinion) wala itong pinagkaiba sa kaliwa’t kanang medical and dental mission sa bawat barangay ng isang munisipalidad tuwing papalapit ang election…

  93. may bayad na at libre kampanya pa! sobra naman si mayor sa simpleng kurakot! ginamit pa ang watershed para sa kanyang advance campaign.

  96. Ano ba nman tiga Marikina p namn ako tas sa tabing ilog kami run. Ayaw ko isuot singlet nyan kasi for sure kulelat yan c Del kina BF sa election. Andumi na kaya sa Marikina since sya umupo. Hayss… Hyundai na lang ang option…

  99. “dapat libre na tong run na to. tutulungan na nga lang sa pangungumpanya si mayor tas may bayad pa.”

    same as vote buying. . anong masama dun? LOL ;P

  100. Taga Ilocos ako pero sasali ako sa delrun na iyan kahit sinasabi nilang may halong politika ang fun run na iyan dahil nasaksihan ko ang sinapit ng mga taga-marikina noong kasagsagan ng undoy at ayaw ko ng sapitin nila uli iyon..,,,
