Thank You Rock Stars…See you in CORREGIDOR 2011
Phenomenon Sports and Events Management would like to sincerely thank YOU for supporting and participating in the recently concluded CORREGIDOR INTERNATIONAL HALF-MARATHON.
We are overwhelmed with all your generous feedback online. Weeks after the race, pictures, video and write-ups are still being posted on various blogs, forum and social networking sites. It is reassuring to know that we – organizers and participants alike – all share in the satisfaction of successfully conquering the Rock. From being mere runners we have all become Rock Stars in our own right.

Thank you as well to Coleman, RunnerSpeak, and R.O.X. and our event partners Print Avenue, Runners’ Runner, Runnr, Second Wind Running Store, FCM Productions, Two Seasons Resort Boracay, Holster Fashion Philippines, Paul Calvin’s Deli, University of Perpetual Help Dalta Medical Center, Runningmate, Takbo.ph and Corregidor Foundation Inc.,

The Bear on the Trails of Corregidor
Bearwin Meily a.k.a. The Bear Vlogs while running (fast!) on the trails of Corregidor during the Corregidor International Half-Marathon.
At the time the video was taken, he was around the 9KM mark. He was way ahead of the 10km curfew of 1:45.
He finished the 21km race in 1:55:44 (5:30 min/km pace), crossing as the 25th (male) and 26th (overall) runner.
CIHM Bonfire
“Tonight we come together united in our desire to overcome the bloody and bloodied terrains of this island.
We are gathered on this Rock – where many lives were lost from struggles of our distant past.
Tomorrow as we run through the historic ruins, as we hurdle the batteries, and as we emerge from the tunnel, we pay our respect to the heroism, courage and strength of spirit of those who blazed these trails before us.”
Special thanks to the following torch bearers and keepers of the flame:
Coach John Lozada
Tuesday Vargas “Pusta ko pag dating sa gitna patay na yan!”
Vanessa Extra-Ordinario a.k.a. “The Hot Chick in Red” a.k.a. “Brown Pasta Man Buster”
Jinoe Gavan of takbo.ph
Dingdong Biruar – runmd
Bards Bathan – banana running
Paula “Buwis Buhay”, Edward’s niece
The very efficient and supportive SCI boys led by Brian, Edward and Gener.
Coach Edward lights up a tradition.
So who’s hungry?
On the menu: mashed potato, rice, carbonara pasta, and the brown pasta a.k.a. pansit bihon. Special thanks to Jay Em of Paul Calvin’s Deli for the sausage pasta and roasted chicken. I did not get to try them Jay. The spirit of the pasta and chicken lingers in the minds of the team who missed them. 
Dessert was Coach Edward’s delicious Pandan Puto.
TKR – Team Kamote Runners
Green puto a.k.a. pandan puto. Coach Edward’s personal pick.

One for all. All for twenty one.
Happiness.
Worry.
Doubt.
Confidence.
Triumph.
Fulfillment.

CIHM: Session Road with Miro of Stonefree
After they raced in the Corregidor International Half-Marathon Session Road and Miro roked the Rock during the event’s Victory Party.
It was raining until 9pm so we started the party a little later than scheduled.
Tranvias parked beside the stage made the experience even more interesting.

About
Raymund G. Martelino
“Self-assured and multi-talented, it is easy to see why he is often misunderstood. He succeeds where others falter. While most of us procrastinate, he gets his tasks done. And he makes sure he does them well. While most of us panic, he stays cool. And he finds means to calm our frantic souls. When most of us shut up, he speaks up. And he almost always makes perfect sense. For this he may strike some as over rational and void of emotions. But believe it or not, he isn’t. He cares deeply for those whom he considers friends, willing to go to great lengths for them. This may not always be apparent, though. After all, he is and will continue to be a mystery even to those who are closest to him. But then again it is precisely this that makes him the disarmingly endearing person that he really is. A shot at love, a picture perfect family, a passion for football and running, a gift for music, an eye for photography, a genuine concern for others, an above average intellect, an intact set of principles, a pure understanding of who he is and who he should be — some guys just got lucky.”
