Sustaining Your Wellness Journey Beyond the Finish Line

 

The rise in popularity of running in the Philippines indicates a revitalized outlook among Filipinos regarding their health and wellness. This is reflected in the growing number of participants in recent events like fun runs and races and the burgeoning running communities in many parts of the country.



In fact, over 9,600 runners, including novice and seasoned ones, families, kids, and people from various backgrounds, joined the two legs of Run for Wellness this year, held at UP Diliman in Quezon City on June 16 and Naga City on September 15, just in time for the celebration of the PeƱafrancia Festival.

 

Organized by Southstar Drug and Maxicare, Run for Wellness is an annual event that promotes physical health and well-being through running. Originally held in Naga City, it has since expanded to Metro Manila to encourage more Filipinos to sprint toward their best lives and become their own champions.

 

Joining running events like Run for Wellness is a great way to start your own wellness journey and connect with others who have the same goal of embracing a more active lifestyle.  After all, running is free and accessible compared to other forms of workout, which makes it beginner-friendly. It’s a great cardiovascular exercise that also strengthens muscles and bones, and boosts mental well-being.

 

It doesn’t require much to start running as a habit—good running shoes and comfortable clothing are really all you need. Basic knowledge about warm-up and cool-down exercises to avoid injuries, a fitness watch to track your progress over time, and the right mindset to overcome days when you just don’t feel like running at all can also help. As you adopt running in your day-to-day routine, don’t forget to be mindful of the other aspects of your health and wellness. These include eating a balanced diet, having adequate rest and sleep, and ensuring you are in the right mental space despite the stresses of everyday life. In doing so, you’ll be able to achieve better holistic health, enabling you to be stronger and stay consistent with your running journey. 

 

When it comes to embracing a healthier lifestyle, Southstar Drug and Maxicare are your partners—champions of health and wellness. With over 600 stores nationwide and a user-friendly platform, Southstar Drug is one of the largest and most established drugstore chains in the country. It provides a wide range of affordable medicines, products, and services.

 

Maxicare, on the other hand, is the Philippines' leading HMO, serving nearly 2 million members with a comprehensive range of healthcare plans for corporations, SMEs, individuals, and families. These plans include Prepaid Health Cards that offer convenient and affordable options. Maxicare offers services that deliver an unparalleled member experience and an extensive network of medical partners.

TODO NA DITO sa PeƱafrancia Festival!

DITO Telecommunity is proudly supporting this year's PeƱafrancia Festival, a celebration which shows the deep faith and devotion of the Bicolano people to Our Lady of PeƱafrancia. This year’s theme, "Se siempre la Reina!" or "Be Always the Queen!" celebrates the 100th anniversary of the Lady’s coronation.

In cooperation with the City Government of Naga, DITO shows its support for local festivals by bringing communities together and celebrating Filipino culture. To make this year’s festival more exciting, DITO will offer fun experiences and activities, including experiential hubs and dynamic performances to showcase the vibrant local talent that makes the Bicol region remarkable.

A standout feature of DITO’s support is the deployment of cell sites on wheels to provide stronger and more reliable network service. This technological boost is to ensure that participants and revelers of the festival will enjoy high-speed connectivity and seamless communication during the duration of the festival.

“We’re happy to participate and support this year’s PeƱafrancia Festival as part of our continuous commitment to weaving stronger communities. This year, we’re bringing exciting activities powered by our next-generation technology to further energize the spirit of the festival and showcase more local Filipino talents,” said Evelyn Jimenez, DITO Chief Revenue Officer for Consumer Business.

The Tagboan Arts Festival will be happening from September 15 to 21, 2024 at the Balatas New Development Complex, immersing attendees in a week-long celebration of local arts and culture. At the center of the festival is DITO’s Experiential Hub, offering interactive experiences and exclusive freebies with the purchase of DITO products, such as Level-Up mobile prepaid packs, FLEXPlan postpaid plans, and our exciting new DITO Home 5G WiFi products.

Festival goers can fully enjoy the “TODO NA DITO” Roadshow on September 21, 2024, featuring various interactive activities like TODO Gaming, TODO Sayawan, and TODO Kantahan Finals, where local talents will compete for the top prize. The PeƱafrancia Festival will be even more memorable with its grand finale—the “TODO NA DITO” Concert. Performances include Ched Valencia and Calle IV, with MAKI taking center stage, known for his hits like “Saan?” and “Dilaw.” This highly anticipated concert will cap off the celebration with an unforgettable experience.

“We are excited to bring our “TODO NA DITO” Experiential Hubs, Roadshows, and on-ground events to the PeƱafrancia Festival. It’s an opportunity for us to not only showcase our value- packed products, but also to celebrate the culture and spirit of the Bicolanos” Jimenez added.

Don’t miss this exciting opportunity to celebrate one of the Philippines' largest religious festivals together with DITO Telecommunity. PeƱafrancia Festival 2024 is an experience you wouldn’t want to miss! For more information and updates, check out @DITOphofficial on Facebook and Instagram or visit us at https://dito.ph/.
