eric, i don’t know about those withheld items for the top 50 runners. i was # 59…hehehe! i think the proper way to wear your race bib is on your singlet. kaya nga “bib” ang tawag. mga pinoy kasi maarte. gagamit ng tights, pagkatapos tatakpan ang “bukol” gamit ang race bib!

there was another incident of a race oraganizer which withheld items for the 1st 50 or so to the runners. no explantion whatsoever, mmmm bummer.

btw, i cant help but notice the the Kenyans wore their RACE BIBS ON THEIR SHIRTS. talk about pro league. whereas several locals insisted on pinning theirs other than their singlets, isnt this written on the race rules and regulations? oh well.

Hi Sir Jovie,

Yeah she initially got the 2nd placer’s price. They were told to go back wednesday the next week instead. However, one of the signatories was not around, my sakit daw. So they made a “surprise” visit the following day (Thursday) and asked one of the guy in their office, apparently the person who’s supposed to sign it was there but they weren’t able to meet her face to face, she left the office right after the meeting. That’s the accound of Aileen’s wife-Cris.

It will not take more than 5 seconds to sign a check, nor more than a minute to reply to their text messages or answer their pleading calls.

Can’t blaim them if they felt they were left high and dry.

Regards,
Sam

runma, as per my pro bono designation with patafa, i can do what you are telling me to do but i am just cautious because of “sports politics”. however, in my own way & through this site and my blogposts, we will expose these “notorious” ROs/RDs and warn our runners.

sam, there is a “big story” on that. first, the cash prize for the 3rd Women Finisher is $ 1,000. now, please go to aileen and ask for the BANK CHECK she received and see what was written in the amount of money on the space provided for. tell me what was written on the check and you will find your answer. thanks for the comment.

Hi Sir Jovie,

One of the Pinay winner Aileen Tolentino who placed 3rd place there until now hasn’t receive her winning prize. They are complaining tinatakasan or tinataguan siya nang organizer about claiming of price. I’m starting to believe somebody really went laughing all the way to the bank that day!!
