Art Los Banos, organiser of the event, said participants may proceed to main Gate 2 for registration and assembly and to the amphitheatre inside the park for the programme. “No fee will be collected from the participants. Just join the fun and fellowship. And be healthy!”

Los Banos said the Walk for Your Health is held every last Friday of March at Safa Park to gather all Filipinos and promote healthy living. “We conduct blood pressure and pulse rate reading, then allow those with good vital signs to walk around the 3.4km jogging track of the park. Then by 8am, we all go inside the park and gather at the amphitheatre for a dance-exercise followed by a health lecture and speeches from the Philippine Consulate and organisations involved in the event.”— lily@khaleejtimes.com
