Thousands of government officials and employees nationwide are set to join the benefit fun run organized by the Civil Service Commission (CSC) on September 1.
The event dubbed “VibeRun: Takbo para sa mga Servant-Heroes,” aims to foster physical and mental well-being among the 1.9 million civil servants working in various government agencies as part of the celebration of the month-long Philippine Civil Service Anniversary (PCSA) in September.
CSC Chairperson Karlo Nograles emphasized the significance of the event, stating, “As we begin the 124th PCSA, our goal is to host an event that carries profound meaning and purpose for all participants. VibeRun goes beyond the act of running. It serves as a meaningful way to contribute. The funds raised will directly benefit the Pamanang Lingkod Bayani (PLBi) Program of the CSC, providing essential financial support to the families of civil servants who lost their lives in the line of duty.”
The CSC’s PLBi Program is a tribute to slain/deceased government employees by giving them a one-time financial assistance of P100,000.00, a plaque of recognition, and scholarship grants to the deceased employee’s immediate family member.
Since its inception in 2011, the PLBi program has supported a total of 249 awardees nationwide. Nograles also encouraged government agencies across the country to send representatives to participate in the fun run with two running categories: 3km and 5km.
