MPSPC president Rexton Chakas said that the event will be held on November 1,0, 2017, 6 am, and its proceeds will be used for the benefit of the Bontoc Green Police, garbage collectors and a 12,year old boy undergoing dialysis treatment.

“We are conducting this year’s fund raising activity dubbed as Walk for a cause – 52 @52 to help the Bontoc Green Police and the garbage collectors as a way to recognize their “instrumental” role in minimizing garbage problems in this capital town and to help save a child who is fighting for dear life – Ezekiel Kolnog, a 12 year-old, grade 8 student who was recently diagnosed of stage 5 renal failure who is undergoing daily dialysis,” Dr. Chakas said.
The President’s Social Action Program (PSAP) started in 2014 which eventually became an annual fund raiser which coincides with the birthday of the College President.
“It was an ambitious idea, but with an extremely supportive family, friends and community, the PSAP’s walk for a cause continued to draw participants each year,” the college president added.
