“A Force of Four in Year 4”: Vermosa Green Run Champions Fitness, Sustainability, Youth Sports, and Animal Welfare in 2025

The Green Run at Vermosa is back for the fourth consecutive time this June with a renewed commitment to fitness, environmental sustainability, animal welfare and youth sports development.

Entitled Vermosa Green Run 2025: A Force of Four in Year 4, it will be off and running on Sunday, June 29, 2025 at the Vermosa Estate in Imus, Cavite. This year, Ayala Land’s flagship multi-level running event launches a Plastic Donation and Collection Drive alongside its 3K, 5K, 10K, and 21K road races.

All participants are encouraged to bring used plastics that will be recycled and repurposed by Ayala Land Estates Inc. and Makati Development Corporation (MDC). The plastic waste will be transformed into sustainable construction materials, concrete aggregates and other tools to build sidewalks and fences that will contribute to Ayala Land’s green development initiatives. Those who donate get a discounted rate on their Green Run registration.

Coming back for the third time is the popular 1K Dog Run that promotes Ayala Land’s advocacy for animal welfare. This special feature of the Green Run was introduced in 2023 to provide people a fun and meaningful way to engage in physical activity while bonding with their furry companions and to raise awareness on animal welfare.

 

The young athletes of Takbo Kabitenyo, a 200-member-strong group that runs for health reasons and competes in marathons around the country, will join the Green Run. The young runners from this group receive training, mentorship and the use of Vermosa’s sports facilities as part of Ayala Land’s championing of young athletes.

Event proceeds will benefit key advocacy partners, including Pawssion Project, which champions animal welfare, Haribon Foundation, a leader in reforestation efforts, and Takbo Kabitenyo, a local program supporting young athletes through training and mentorship opportunities.

 

"Each step you take at the Vermosa Green Run supports a bigger cause; combining fitness, sustainability, and community support into one meaningful event," said Chrissy Roa, Ayala Land Estates’ Marketing and Communications group head.

Now an established benchmark for purpose-driven lifestyle events, the Vermosa Green Run reinforces Ayala Land’s long-term vision for sustainability, proving that fitness can be a powerful catalyst for environmental and social impact.

3,200 Runners Joined the Haier Run for Future Possibilities 2025

MANILA, Philippines — The Haier Run for Future Possibilities 2025 made an electrifying return on May 25 at the MOA Complex, gathering 3,200 runners in a powerful display of unity, health, and purpose. Now on its second year, the run not only championed physical fitness but also advanced Haier Philippines' mission of giving back—supporting education and well-being initiatives for Filipino youth with every stride.

 

The run wasn't just about reaching the finish line—it was about running for a cause. In line with Haier’s mission to give back, every step taken contributed to supporting educational opportunities for Filipino children, reinforcing the event’s deeper purpose of creating a brighter future for the next generation. 

From the early morning assembly to the final steps across the finish line, runners enjoyed a seamless blend of activity and advocacy. This year’s run reaffirmed Haier’s commitment to going beyond home innovation and giving back to the community.

Beyond the race, participants explored Haier’s commitment to innovation through interactive booths featuring its five major product lines: Air Conditioners, Refrigerators, Gas Ranges, Washing Machines, and Televisions. Each booth offered engaging experiences, product demonstrations, freebies, games, and giveaways that drew runners in even after they crossed the finish line.

Participants were also treated to a festival-like atmosphere, with free taho, ice cream, refreshments, photo walls, and countless Instagrammable moments. Many runners proudly posed with their medals, capturing their achievement on camera and enjoying post-run photo ops.

The event also welcomed notable media personalities and influencers, who joined the run and mingled with participants. Runners were excited to meet and snap photos with their favorite content creators, adding star power to the already exciting event. In addition, Haier’s valued dealer partners participated in full force, showing their strong support for the brand’s advocacy and community outreach.

True to Haier’s spirit of giving, top finishers took home premium appliances including refrigerators, TVs, and washing machines—further motivating runners to push themselves toward the finish line. The raffle draws also gave everyone a chance to win exciting prizes, adding thrill to the morning’s activities.

But the true winners of the day were the communities supported by the cause. During the charity awarding, representatives from Autism Society Philippines and SOS Children’s Villages Pilipinas were acknowledged on stage, receiving donations that will further their invaluable work. Together, these efforts aim to create a brighter, more inclusive future for Filipino youth.

 

The event wrapped up with a lively performance, photo ops, and messages of thanks from Haier’s leadership. The energy and enthusiasm shared by all attendees confirmed what this run is truly about: celebrating milestones, advancing technology, and building better communities—together.

Haier would like to thank all runners, sponsors, media friends, influencers, and partners who made the event a massive success.

Until the next run—let’s keep moving forward, together.
