MVP Birthday Run: An Extraordinary Day

I was supposed to look sporty but I wasn't prepared to run because I got a lot of work during the event so I decided to put on a semi-sporty outfit, minus the animal print bag. haha!:))

Last July 14, Manny V. Pangilinan (MVP) celebrated his 65th birthday. He usually does his birthday celebration in big hotels every year; but this time, he chose to simplify it so he held his party in Meralco Multi-Purpose Hall. He did this because he was more excited about Smart's big birthday treat for him -- the MVP Birthday Run.

The companies within the MVP group went all out to make the best birthday celebration of MVP. The run was held last July 16 in SM Mall of Asia Open Grounds. The run was composed of four major categories: 1. the "serious run" - 10k, 2. the "mardi gras" run, 3. the "run w/ pets" - 3k, and 4. the "privilege walk w/ MVP" - 1.65k Only the MVP Group employees, their families, and MVP's family and friends were invited in this extraordinary event.

Almost all of MVP's basketball teams were also there: Talk N Text, Smart Gilas, Meralco Bolts, San Beda. Though, I wasn't able to see the Ateneo players. Also, a couple of celebrities/talents from TV5 were also there. All of them joined in the 1.65-km Walk with MVP. Also, the Maynilad float which has a Buganda band playing Brazilian percussion with Maynilad's volleyball and basketball teams, has made the walk a lively one! We even had party poppers popped as soon as MVP reached the finish line.

There were also a couple of lucky runners who won raffle prizes such as iPad, Blackberry, and the grand prize -- Toyota Vios! It has been indeed a happy birthday celebration of Boss MVP!:)
