MALOLOS CITY—For
the seventh straight year, members of the of the Alpha Phi Omega (APO) fraternity
and sorority of the Bulacan State University (BulSU) conducted their oblation
run.
Like
in the past, they have a theme for the
annual oblation run, and this year, it’s a call for non-violence and
clean elections.
“Eto
‘yung way na ine-express naming, ‘yung mga nangyayari sa sitwasyon. Karahasan
ay Iwasan para sa malinis na halalan. Kasi nga, malapit na ‘yung eleksiyon sa
2013,” said Marvin Valera, the auxiliary chancellor of the fraternity.
He
said that before the annual oblation run, APO officers met and decided on the
said theme.
He
said, “napag meetingan naming, kasi nakikita ng mga mag-aaral ‘yung napapanood
nila sa TV sa mga eleksiyon. Siyempre bata tayo, dapat iwasan natin tumulad sa
eleksiyon na nangyayari sa mga matatanda.”
At
least 30 Apo members joined the annual oblation run which started in 2005.
The
runners were joined by APO members from its other chapters, namely Valenzuela
City, Baliuag University, Our Lady of Fatima University, and the Cabnas Garden
Mall in this city.
All
participants ran naked with a mask to hide their identity.
Like
in previous years, the annual run drew thousands of students, many of whom
screamed while looking at the participants.
The
oblation run is part of the weeklong celebration of the 108th
founding anniversary of the Bulacan Stater University. (Jerica Santos,
