Some Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) households have been assured to get solar lights after more than 2,000 runners from this city joined the fund-raising fun run held from Laoag City Hall to Buttong road here Friday.

Lervie Jane Balalio, 4Ps city link of the DSWD, told the Philippine News Agency on Friday that the activity is in line with the continuing Women’s Month celebration, which promotes gender equality and empowering women to help themselves.

“Our goal is to empower these individuals and families by providing them with solar panels and ensuring that they have sustainable and reliable energy sources,”she said.

Balalio said most of the participants are 4Ps beneficiaries themselves, who gamely joined the Zumba workout in front of the city hall before they completed the three-kilometer race.

Each participant registered for a fee of PHP250 which covers an advocacy shirt and snack.

“It’s just a small amount but I hope my participation made an impact to the beneficiaries,” said Veronica Julian, a young runner from Laoag City.

Last year, another fun run was organized and the proceeds were used to provide 4Ps beneficiaries with climate-resilient toilets. (PNA)
