Urban Guerilla Race: The Mission to Become a Hero is Clear

Wazzup Pilipinas!

The first and only obstacle racing series within Philippine territories, TN-Guerilla Race Inc. is proud to announce the resumption of the GUERILLA RACE SERIES for 2015 with its entry level challenge, the URBAN GUERILLA RACE, targeting over 1,500 athletes and race aficionados, and nearly as many spectators, all set to participate in this first leg of the year.

The Guerilla Race Series is the first obstacle-driven race series of its kind in the Philippines. Skillfully developed by a Philippine Army scout ranger, the Guerilla Race Series is meant to test the Guerilla Racers’ limits in terms of endurance of body, presence of mind and resilience of spirit.

This is a benefit race with a guerilla mission to embark on corporate social responsibility, TN-Guerilla Race Inc. supports the H.E.R.O. Foundation by donating part of the registration fees to support the education of the orphans of our soldiers who sacrificed their lives in the service of this country.

The URBAN GUERILLA RACE marks the beginning of the Guerilla Race Series which is held annually, with 4 major races per year, in different regions of exciting landscapes and race topography within the Philippines.

Participants in the Urban Guerilla Race will be competing in the individual male and female categories as well as in the team competition for both the Sprint and Warrior Races. But that’s not all. With the success of the debut of our Guerilla Kids Race last year, we are again including the Kids Race for this first leg of the series so expect this first leg to be a fun-filled family affair.

Finishers will be rewarded with the Heroes’ Welcome– the Guerilla Race Finishers’ Party offering a catered meal, a beer bash and live bands to reward their brawn and bravery. The top 3 males and top 3 females ofthe Urban Guerilla Race qualify for a free entry into the next tier.

I think this is the first time that a blog has made it into a TV show, and I am ever so grateful to the people who believed in me. Never in my days as a blogger have I imagined or dreamed of having my own TV show bearing my blog's name. My blog was merely an outlet to express my opinions and showcase my interests. It then evolved into a medium to promote everything about the Philippines, and an opportunity to collaborate with emerging and already popular brands and organizations. It also presented several of my advocacies like tourism campaigns and noble causes.

Discovery Channel To Premiere Air Asia 8501 Special

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Discovery Channel today announced that it will be broadcasting FLIGHT 8501: STORM DISASTER, about the tragic events of Air Asia flight 8501. The aircraft, with its 155 passengers and seven crew, was lost in a storm 40 minutes into its journey from Indonesia to Singapore on 28 December 2014 – concluding the worst year for aviation disasters in a decade. The sixty-minute special attempts to shed some light on the mystery that surrounds the event, and provides one of the most comprehensive explanations as to what happened. FLIGHT 8501: STORM DISASTER will premiere on Discovery Channel on 12 April at 8:00 p.m. (MNL). The special will also air across Asia Pacific and internationally, in more than 220 countries and territories.

Theresa Ong, senior vice president and general manager, Southeast Asia, Discovery Networks Asia-Pacific, said, “Once again, Discovery is bringing viewers compelling stories that have strong local interest. In the past, topical shows such as HAIYAN: AFTER THE MEGASTORM, AFTER THE WAVE, and FLIGHT 370: THE MISSING LINKS, have resonated well with audiences in the region. These specials help provide insight into the tragedies and tell inspiring stories of bravery and the tenacity of the human spirit in the darkest of hours.”

Comparing and contrasting the story of Air Asia flight 8501 with recent aviation tragedies such as Air France flight 447 and Malaysia Airlines flight 370, the documentary will examine the impact of the Earth’s changing climate on the aviation industry. It will question whether so-called “super storms” are becoming more frequent and severe, putting planes at greater risk than ever before. It will also explore whether today’s aviation technology leaves pilots too dependent on automation, resulting in information overload in critical situations.
