First RCJC-CPU Homecoming Run – a success!

The Rotary Club of Jaro Centraline’s Homecoming Run on September 29, 2017 was a resounding success, owing to the support and participation of the CPU Administration, the faculty and staff, and the CPU Alumni Association, Inc. The other Rotary Clubs of Iloilo were also instrumental in bringing runners to join the fun run.

The Major Sponsorship of Allianz PNB Life Insurance and other donors contributed much to the promotion and success of the event. Centralian Police Senior Superintendent and Iloilo City Police Director S/Insp. Henry F. Biñas gladly registered twenty of his police officers to join the Homecoming Run.  They were at CPU at 5:00 AM to join the Zumba dance and attend a short program at the starting area in front of the Loreto Tupaz Building in CPU.

Dr. Teodoro C. Robles, CPU President, fired the starting gun to commence the 4-kilometer race. Passing through the Gate 7, the runners ran along Benigno Aquino Avenue Service Road, towards Barangay Sambag in Ungka, Jaro, Iloilo City and back to the campus. Medals and cash prizes were awarded to the winners for the Men and Women Categories afterwards.

Promoting and covering the event were CPU TV, CPU social media and publications (including the Weekly Centralian Link), along with the newest CPU equipment—a drone camera. This is thanks to the generous efforts of all the personnel under the Office of Communications.

Rotarian Jude Marsh Grande, current RCJC President, looks forward to a bigger Homecoming Run event next year. The Rotary Club of Jaro Centraline thanks everyone who participated and supported the RCJC-CPU Homecoming Run 2017 for the success of the event. To God be the Glory!
