In celebration of the 150th Birth Anniversary of Dr. Jose Rizal, a hero, a teacher, a doctor, a farmer and a scientist; the Department of Education (DepEd) in cooperation with the Presidential Communications Operations Office held a National Fun Run for Education dubbed as “Takbo ni Pepe: Every Runner a Finisher; Every Finisher, a Winner” on the 19th of June 2011. Despite the heavy rains caused by typhoon Egay, at least 50,000 students, educators and concerned community stakeholders from Metro Manila and nearby regions came and conquered the run in the rain!

More than celebrating Dr. Jose Rizal’s birth anniversary, Takbo ni Pepe raised the awareness that education is for all & no Filipino child should be left behind!
