Carrying the theme of ‘Sino ang dapat makinabang, Nawawalang kaban ng bayan?’, a total of 30 members of the fraternity participated in the event, urging the students and BulSU community to keep their eyes on the issues of PDAF scam amidst national calamity brought by Typhoon Yolanda.
"Yong pinaglalaban natin ngayon or 'yong gusto naming i-address ngayon ay 'yong issue sa PDAF. Kasi alam naman natin na nagkaro'n tayo ng mga kalamidad pero hindi naman natin sinasabi na 'wag nating i-etsapuwera 'yon. Nakikisimpatiya kami do'n, kaso nga lang sana wag makalimutan ng mga tao na before that meron tayong issue nA malaking kinahaharap which is PDAF. Masyado nan nakakalimutan 'yong issue." said Jerone Sanchez, APO Epsilon Kappa Chapter Chancellor.
Aside from the issue of PDAF, the fraternity also supports the fight against Roadmap to Public Higher Education Reform (RPHER). But inspite of different advocacy that the runners want the community to be concern of, students have different opinion about the effectiveness of the fraternity in informing the BulSU community.
“Siguro para sa akin, effective naman kasi naca-caught naman ‘yong atensyon ng university dahil sa ginagawa nila eh, ‘yong way naman kasi ng pag-iinform nila sa atin, ginagawa na rin ng ibang university pero at least, sa atin, meron din at may gusto silang mabago kaya ginagawa nila ‘yon,” said Luisa Andrada,from CAL.
While others still believes that the annual run is still effective as advocacy campaign, some students says otherwise.
“Sa tingin ko po hindi na s’ya gano’n ka-effective na way para marinig ng mga estudyante, kasi may ilan na kaya lang nagpupunta e para makakita ng mga bagay na gusto nila makita, pero kung tutuusin, hindi naman nila nakukuha ‘yong mensahe na gusto iparating ng pagtakbo ng APO. Pumupunta lang sila for the entertainment factor,” said Carl Espiritu.
