I hope more leaders are more like Mr. Lafferty. Its never easy to admit one’s fault and taking responsibility for it does show a lot about ones character. Thanks for sharing BR, glad this was resolved very quickly.

Sam, thanks for sharing the link. We do need more men like him.

He’s not only a responsible leader but saved a kababayan’s life as well. See the story at inquirer website:

Hi BR,

Good for Jim Lafferty. He faced the issue squarely and his apology was timely.

Yes, aid stations for particular groups did exist in almost every marathon I ran. But these are usually off the curb and to the side, versus the official aid stations which were near the runners’ path. Of course, they (the special aid stations) definitely did assist other runners as best they can.

Good to address this issue anyway. Hope you had a nice 42K run!

A sincere apology from a fellow runner for a mistake he takes responsibility for, what a beautiful thing. I agree with Ronnie, we are one in the running community. In a way I’m glad for the unfortunate incident as it brought about this outcome. Now we know that the retiring CEO of P&G Philippines and his family are accomplished runners and he is a gracious and responsible man. Thanks for the update Sir Jovie.

That was quick. And admirable. Agreed with the sentiments of the earlier posts. In this day and age, it’s rare for someone at the highest level of a billion dollar company to accept responsibility for a gaffe of a subordinate. He didn’t have to do that. But he went out and took his lumps like a man. You earn my respect sir. Thank you also Sir Jovie, if not for your post the whole thing would not have come to fruition. I hope that’s over and done with and we could all work together in the upcoming races

Accepting responsibility for any deviation made by his subordinate is a true sign of great leadership, and this is what Sir Lafferty has just showed us today. We are one in the running community, and it’s nice to know such good person who, in spite of many achievements can humble himself and mediate for the sake of his ‘company and subordinate.’ Hats-off to you Mr. Lafferty for a speedy response.

God bless you.
