Dok Tours Marikina City's Animal Trail

It has been a month since I last posted on this blog due to very busy schedules at work. But you know, I always keep myself updated on everything that is happening in the blogosphere and other social media platforms. Anyhoo, one day I decided to pay a visit to Marikina City's Animal Trail located on the riverbanks of the city. Before, many residents of Marikina City and even the nearby cities' residents hang around the animal trail. There are joggers who stroll the riverpark and even picnic-goers.

Marikina River

Zonta Club's Gazebo

There are lots of things that I liked about Marikina City since then. Waste management is very strict and done on a regular basis. Curfew hours during the time indicated on the signages placed all over the city's posts. Shoes are really of good quality and now lots of restaurants are booming within the vicinity of the city. But what I didn't like about my visit recently was captured by my iPhone.

Trash by the riverbanks

It was really disappointing to see these trashes knowing that Marikina City was once included in the list of the Cleanest Cities in Asia. I also checked Animal Trail everyone's visiting back then.

Armless Monkey

Headless and Armless Monkey

I was welcomed by these armless and headless monkeys.

Wrecked Hippo

Are these carabaos?

Vandalized Cows

And more wrecked animal statues inside the trail. You can't even recognize some of the animals there. And found again trashes inside the trail.

Trash again

Although, there are still some animal statues that are in OK state.

Zebra

Camel

Elephant

Giraffe

Bear

I know the city government is doing their best in restoring the beauty and the cleanliness of the city even if they oftentimes experience catastrophe. I hope they would also do their best to bring back the Glory Days of the Marikina Riverpark and its Animal Trail.

Hello, Mayor Del De Guzman! I hope this would reach your good office.

R3RUN for Sustainability

Held last August 10 was the R3RUN spearheaded by Qanta Paper Corporation, a company that provides affordable and hygienic paper products to Filipino families. Together with Qanta Paper Corporation in heading the advocacy of R3RUN was Jasmine Curtis-Smith who was one of the most visible endorser of the said fitness event.

R3RUN 2014 was held in BlueBay Walk in EDSA-Macapagal Avenue, Pasay City. The event started with the introduction of the hosts and some TV personalities like Kylie Padilla and Jasmine Curtis-Smith. The advocacy of the run was also discussed which is to inspire environmental action among Filipino consumers and raise awareness on climate change and also to encourage Filipinos to use green-labelled products because it is such a big help for the environement in a way.

The actual run started at around 5AM for 12KM runners, 5:20AM for 8KM runners and so on. With an overwhelming number of participants in the run event, I can say R3RUN or Reuse, Reduce, Recycle was very successful and I am looking forward for more run events from Qanta Paper Corp.

Huge number of runners!!!

As what I have mentioned before, The runs and walks are interesting in themselves because you go through different parts of the community and you are taking some steps everyday to improve your health. And you know, you see a whole lot more of life when you are running.

Present also in the event are Saucony Philippines, Gardenia, Eco, Perfect & Pocari Sweat. Overall, the event was successful in terms of making the people conscious about the usage of paper products and its benefits in our planet.

Thanks to Wazzup Pilipinas for the race kits!!

Dok Tour-approved!
