Walang Plastikan, Race Against Plastics

When the rainy season is upon us, we relive the tragedy of past typhoons in our lives, we shake our heads as if to say, “How come we can’t get this one right?” One major root cause of continuing floods in the metropolis is our perennial garbage problem... and at the heart of the garbage is MISUSE, ABUSE AND OVERUSE of plastics.

The Pasay City Government – Office of the Vice-Mayor will implement City Ordinance 4647 on the “Non-usage of Plastics” by October 2012. This is a bold but admirable move from Vice-Mayor Marlon Pesebre who aims to make Pasay City a model community of the advocacy. To get the fire started, the Office of the Vice Mayor teamed up with RUNDEZVOUS INC. for a race-extraordinaire dubbed as Walang Plastikan, Race Against Plastics.



The race is geared towards creating awareness and outright implementation of this advocacy so that participant-runners have that firsthand experience of making a difference. The race will be central to other fun activities planned for the day to educate people on options against the use of plastics.
