LAPU-LAPU City Sports and Tourism chairman Harry Radaza begins his bid to promote running in the barangay level when he hosts the Health Run 2011 on Aug. 6.
Radaza, along with the Lapu-Lapu City Government, has long planned to give the masses a chance in running.
“I came up with the idea to give those who cannot afford, especially the people who do not know the good effects of running, a chance to take part in races,” Radaza said during the launching yesterday at the Pino Filipino Restaurant in barangay Lahug, Cebu City.
The running event is free for Lapu-Lapu residents only. An optional registration fee for membership is pegged at P200, inclusive of a singlet and a wrist band with the number code placed on it.
One of Radaza’s objectives is also to discover potential runners from Lapu-Lapu City.
The upcoming race, the first of nine scheduled legs, will start at barangay Mactan. The first three legs of the running event will offer shorter distances. It will have 1.5-,3- and 5-kilometer distances. The fourth to sixth legs will have 2k, 4k and 6.48k distances while the next two legs will have 3k, 6.48k and 8k races.
The final leg on Nov. 19 will feature 3k, 6.48k and 10k distances.
Winners in the first eight legs will compete for the overall crown in the final leg.
Radaza promised to focus on the development of the winners of the final leg and hopefully pit them against the best runners in the future.
Registration for the race is done at the Lapu-Lapu City Hall. /CORRESPONDENT DALE G. ROSAL

Nerissa Soon-Ruiz
In 1971, writer Dennis O'Neil brought the evil character Two-Face back into the Dark Knight Comics and it was then that he became one of Batman's arch-enemies. Instantly it also became the childhood hero of then 15 year old Nerissa Soon-Ruiz.
While the rest of Cebu are mulling as to what happened to Nerissa ditching Gibo in favor of Villar, people in Lapu-Lapu are thumbing their noses and saying “We told you so!”
In her past life, Nerissa worked as a lawyer named Harvey Dent.

GREED
There is no calamity greater than lavish desires.
There is no greater guilt than discontentment.
And there is no greater disaster than greed.
Lao Tze
(Actual Picture Taken from Lito Ruiz Facebook Account....The Truth is out There!)
Facts about Ahong Chan Part 2
• Byron Garcia got the Cebu Dancing Inmates, Ahong Chan got Rufo Bering the running inmate.
• Manny Pacquiao got Mommy Dionisia, Ahong Chan got Linda Chan
• The Bible got Judas and Cain, Lapu-Lapu City got Ahong and Rufo
• Ahong loves to sing, Rufo loves to talk. They are anticipating a career move after losing badly in the coming elections. The second coming of the ReyCard Duet.
• Ahong is planning to become a stand up comic after a failed career in politics. His favorite punch line will be “Ako ang sinugdanan sa Kausaban” hahahahaha….that was funny, let’s hear that again!
THE REAL REASON WHY THE YOUTH HATES AHONG & RUFO
There is nothing more contemptible than a couple of old warlocks claiming to represent the youth vote.
Seriously, look at these two for a second (pictured) do they look young to you? Ahong Chan launched his political career with the deceitful slogan of “Ang Tingog sa Kabatan-onan” Rufo Bering keeps on referring to the both of them as “Batan-on” in his radio program.
Wake up fools, the both of you are old enough to father at least two generations of today’s youth. The youth of today are born into a world where Urbandub, Lady Gaga, Facebook and IPhones are cool, whereas you guys are born at a period in pre-history when the Bee Gees, Rico J. Puno and Pilita Corales are considered loud. There’s no cellphone then, you both were born into a world of the RCPI Telegram dudes…and you still consider yourselves “Batan-on”? Unless of course this blog is mistaken and you guys are talking second childhood here.
The two of you should consider a new slogan, like Rufo Bering…that “Bering sa Konseho” thing really fits your person. Anything that does not run properly without grease is definitely you Rufo!Yup, definitely You!
As for Ahong “I want Change” could work, can be better though if you start at home let's say for example by telling your mom to stop channeling her inner Britney. Remember the world is not big enough for another Dionisia Pacquiao or Madame Auring wannabe.
But definitely…most definitely, STOP CALLING YOURSELVES “BATAN-ON” KAY MAUWAW SAB TA. PILA NA LANG KA TUIG HAPIT NA MO MAKA DISCOUNT INIG PALIT NINYO UG TAMBAL SA BOTIKA OK. Peace Dudes or whatever it is you call yourselves back in the 1920’s.
