SMARTees are HAPPY to RUN

Smart Speak Bulletin
Vol. 6 No. 9 February 17, 2009










Some 54 SMARTees recently took to the streets for a worthy cause. They joined Happy Run, a charity run that would help build more classrooms for 800 students of Bagong Tanyag Elementary School in Taguig City. SMART was one of the sponsors of the run, which featured 5-, 10- and 15-kilometer races.

“Since the proceeds will go to the education of public school students, it made me happy to know that contributing to this cause will make many children happy, not just for now but on a long-term basis,” shared Rina Manuel of Finance.

Reflecting on the run, Jerome Laurente of NSD realized that "not only did I fulfill one of my personal running goals during the Happy Run, I was also able to help other people in my own humble way.”

"Participating in the Happy Run gave me a sense of fulfillment, that even if I was tired, I didn’t give up on the goal, and just kept on running to reach the finish line,” shared Demos Balitan, of IRM. “It was even more fulfilling to know that I was one of the SMARTees who ran to help those who are in need.”
