From the Philippine News Agency (Nov 18): Western Mindanao Command sets race for wounded warriors

The Western Mindanao Command (Westmincom) is holding a race on Wednesday, November 30, for the wounded warriors of Mindanao.

Maj. Filemon Tan Jr., Westmincom spokesperson, on Monday said the race dubbed as the “Heroes Run 2: Race for Wounded Warriors of Mindanao” is in commemoration of Andres Bonifacio Day, the father of the Philippine revolution.

Tan said the race would be held in the vicinity of this camp that houses the headquarters of the Westmincom in this southern port city.

He said there would also be a free Zumba session and “static display featuring the gallantry of our soldiers during the activity” in collaboration with the Westmincom Forward Liaison Elements and personnel of the Philippine Army, Philippine Navy and Philippine Air Force.

He said the race would consist of 3-kilometer (km), 5-km and 10-km run for both male and female participants.

Proceeds of the race would be used for the benefit of the soldiers wounded in armed confrontations with lawless groups here in Mindanao, he added.
