Robinsons Supermarket stages 12th Fit and Fun Wellness Buddy Run

There is nothing like running to keep oneself fit, especially if you’re taking the journey to a healthy lifestyle with a fitness buddy who shares your wellness goals. Last July 7, different types of running pairs -- parents and kids, siblings, best friends, workmates, and even neighbors -- took their buddy health goals to the next level as they trooped to Camp Aguinaldo in Quezon City for the 12th Fit and Fun Wellness Buddy Run by Robinsons Supermarket. The Wellness Buddy Run was divided into two categories: the fun 5K race and the more competitive 10K race. The event witnessed running pairs sharing special moments together as they ran and walked around the camp, and, later on, wearing smiles as they sprinted and hugged each other across the finish line. “On the 12th year of the Fit and Fun Wellness Buddy Run, we are simply happy to have become a part of the wellness journey of Filipino families through the years. And much like now, the running duos rely on each other for support du

While the Liver Cancer and Viral Hepatitis Awareness Month, and the World Hepatitis Day are observed in January and July respectively, taking care of our liver is a lifelong responsibility as it plays an essential role in our body. However, in spite of these campaigns of the Department of Health (DOH) of the Philippines and the World Health Organization (WHO), liver-related diseases are still affecting the lives of many Filipinos.
