Pinay In Action All-Women’s Run 2010

1,000 WOMEN TO RUN FOR EMPOWERMENT, RIGHTS

At least 1,000 women from Metro Manila and neighboring provinces are expected to run at this year’s staging of Pinay In Action, an all-women’s run to be held on March 13, Saturday, at the SM Mall of Asia Grounds in Pasay City.

The first and only all-women’s running competition in the country, Pinay In Action promotes women’s rights, health, and empowerment in observance of the International Women’s Month of March. This year’s event will benefit indigent patients with ovarian, cervical and breast cancer.

Spearheaded by Senator Pia S. Cayetano, this year’s staging will feature 10-kilometer and 5-kilometer open individual run events, and a 1.6-kilometer team run, which will pit adult-and-child tandems.

The three events will start in sequence at 6:00 am for 10K, 6:05 am for 5K and 6:10 am for the 1.6K team run. Awards and special prizes will be given to the top ten finishers in each event.

“Pinay In Action gives women a venue to express themselves, keep healthy and fit, and simply have fun. Running is a symbol of empowerment and freedom. Thus, a running woman is a symbol of an empowered and independent woman,” explained Cayetano, a running enthusiast and principal author of the recently passed Magna Carta of Women (RA 9710).

“The event is not exclusive for female runners,” she clarified. “Men may also join on the condition that they register with a female participant and run behind the women at the starting line. It is also understood they will not be eligible for the prizes in the individual running events. In fact, men are encouraged to participate to express their support to women’s causes.”

Race details and registration forms are available online on www.pinayinaction.com. Pre-registration fee is at P350, while race day registration fee is at P450. The race packet includes the participant’s race number, race shirt, route map and PIA fact sheet. Race day registration starts at 5:00 AM at the venue.

As in its previous stagings, Pinay In Action 2010 will feature a Women’s Expo which will be put up at the Seaside Boulevard facing Manila Bay. The Expo will showcase wellness products and host information booths on women’s concerns such as breast, cervical and ovarian cancer, and violence against women and children. Entrance to the Women’s Expo is free to the public.

Part of the proceeds of this year’s event will go to the full radiation treatment of 20 indigent cervical cancer patients and the screening for cervical cancer of 1,000 indigent patients, in cooperation with Carewell Foundation. One full radiation treatment is P20,000, while screening is at P130 per patient.

The event will also benefit breast cancer patients. Pinay In Action will donate funds to the I Can Serve Foundation for the purchase of DVD players and instructional videos, which will be distributed to different barangays all over the country to raise awareness on breast cancer. Each P1,000 donation by race participants to I Can Serve will be matched with the same amount of donation by Pinay In Action. #

Pia leads 2,000 Pinays in run for women empowerment

Senator Pia Cayetano and more than two thousand Pinays joined this year’s successful staging of “Pinay in Action” held last March 9 at The Fort in Taguig City.

Now on its third year, Pinay in Action is the biggest and only all-women’s run staged annually in the country to mark international women’s month. The run promotes empowerment, rights and health of Filipino women.

In this year’s race, Mercedita Fetalvero topped the 10-kilometer run category, which she finished in 35:04.79. She was followed by Maricel Magulan and Lisa Yambao, who bagged 2nd and 3rd places while clocking 37:15.01 and 39:55.60, respectively.

Whea Ann Barcena reigned supreme in the 5-kilometer category, finishing the course in 18:39.51, followed by Ranya Bumpus and Manayda Macao who clocked 20:26.19 and 20:55.55, respectively.

Aside from the fun run, Pinay in Action also staged its First Women’s Expo at the NBC Tent which featured more than a hundred booths showcasing women’s needs and issues.

Among the booths featured in the expo are the breast cancer awareness booth which gave free seminars and pamphlets on the number one cancer killer among Filipino women.

Another was the Pinay Everest Team booth which was graced by members of the Pinay Everest Team, Noelle Wenceslao, Karina Dayondon and Janet Belarmino. The booth featured the equipment used by the women climbers and photos of their successful conquest of the world’s highest peak.

The Magna Carta of Women photo exhibit was also among the most well received booths. The booth featured images of women and their rights as envisioned in Senate Bill No. 1701 (Magna Carta of Women Bill), authored by Sen. Cayetano.

The lady senator believes that despite the existence of laws guaranteeing the rights of every Filipino, the Magna Carta of Women is still needed to ensure that every woman in the country will be safeguarded from all forms of gender discrimination.

The lady senator explained that many Filipino women continue to suffer discrimination despite the implementation of pro-women legislation and statutes, such as the International bill of rights laid down by the United Nations in its general assembly in 1979 on the convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW).

“CEDAW has been in force for twenty-six years since the Philippines ratified it in 1981. Yet Filipino women continue to suffer from various forms of discrimination stemming from economic, political and social factors and unequal relation between men and women,” she stressed. #
