Around 500 personnel from the Armed Forces of the
Philippines (AFP) will join the Philippine National Police in the fun run
showing support for the families and loved ones of the 44 Special Action Force
(SAF) members killed while neutralizing Malaysian terror bomber Zulkipli bin
Hir last Jan. 25.
Dubbed as “One Run: Run as One for SAF44 Families,”
soldiers, policemen, and civilians will conduct a fun run on Sunday for the
benefit of the bereaved families.
“This is part of our continuing expression of sympathy and
support not just to the families, but also to the friends and comrades of our
brave policemen,” AFP spokesperson Brig. Gen. Joselito E. Kakilala said.
The event will begin at 5:45 a.m. with a short program at White Plains Avenue People Power
Monument along Epifanio Delos Santos
Ave. (EDSA), Quezon City
Participants could join in any one of the three categories,
namely 3k, 5k, and 10k.
One Run is made possible in partnership with the Rotary Club
of Quezon City, the Upsilon Sigma Phi Alumni Association, and other socio-civic
organizations.
The event aims to raise additional financial support for the
families of the fallen SAF men.
Some 2,000 runners are expected to participate in the run.
