Supporters of Gilberto "Gibo" Teodoro have organized a fun run on January 16, starting at 6 am, at the Bonifacio Global City in Taguig. For the first time, Gibo's supporters from the social networking site Facebook's Fan Page will gather and make their presence felt in a more concrete and truly interactive manner--instead of just chatting and posting messages online. The fun run is a great way for a massive EB or "eyeball" or meet each other in person. In a span of less than a month, online supporters s from various sectors such as G-Squad, Green Team 2010, G-Unit and Youth for Gibo as well as the high school friends of Gibo pooled their resources and managed to organize the event: securing a venue, getting sponsors, and turning their idea into reality.
Miguel Celdran, volunteer and supporter of Gibo, says "The walk is not a political rally but rather a venue to get together after weeks of just chatting online and pour our energies into something offline and concrete. Its really heartening to see supporters planning their participation online.. some from Bulacan and Lipa are even renting jeeps on their own just to attend the event! " And while the event is geared mainly for the youth (Gibo's most active online supporters of are college students), people of all ages are welcome to participate. Many have already signed up for the fun run. People who are physically challenged are encouraged to just walk or even just hang around and listen to Gibo give words of encouragement after the fun run.
The event's theme is "Go for Green: Run for Change". Green signifies growth, renewal, and the environment--all themes that are in sync with Gibo's platform and close to the heart of the youth.
