 The multi-sports event will feature sports organizations on fun run, amateur boxing, body building, power lifting, weight lifting, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, eskrima kali arnis, karate, taekwando, parkour, zumba, yoga and table tennis.

"Since our first event in 2014, each year then, thousands of athletes and sports enthusiasts from around the world and the Philippines continue to join us, and because of this vast growth, we are now expanding into new territories," said Mrs. Crosby.


Mrs. Crosby is a celebrity athlete, fitness enthusiast and body builder superstar who is the first Philippine International Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness (IFBB) Pro Card holder. She is also an IFBB professional athlete and a businesswoman who is currently studying for a Master's degree in Nutrition.

Yap identified one of the biggest challenges in the country's fitness industry these days.


"Here in the Philippines, fitness is not a necessity, it's kinda extra. The challenge there is how you can make them understand that it's a lifestyle or not just a trend or uso. But now, because of social media, it's pretty much there already," said Yap, who also coaches celebrities and manages Supplements Hub, a vitamins and supplements store in Quezon City.


Tai gave some advice to people who want to be fit and healthy.

"Don't be intimated by the gym. It's all about lifestyle. In food, one of the worst is sweets. But it doesn't mean that you have to avoid it completely. Avoid food with so much fat and cholesterol. I have cheat days on food, otherwise we are not human. There should be moderation and balance. But that motivates me to work out even more," said Tai, former co-host of the popular noontime show "It's Showtime" on ABS CBN.

Kapamilya star Diego Loyzaga has admitted that he is reaching out to his father chief operating officer of Tourism Promotions Board Cesar Montano but he doesn't know if his dad knew that he was making the move. "Oo I am. Pero I don't even know kung alam n'ya. During the Christmas party of ABS CBN last year, I was with Tito Bayani (Agbayani). E magkapitbahay silang dalawa. And even Tito Bayani was telling me hindi na n'ya nakikita si Erpat. Lagi s'yang busy. Sinabi ni Tito Bayani, 'why don't you just text him?' "said Diego, when asked if he's reaching out to his father, during an interview on "Tonight With Boy Abunda" on ABS CBN. "Sabi ko, 'why not?' Nanghihinayang ako eh. Kung kelan ako sobrang seryoso na sa ginagawa ko sa showbiz na 'to, I wanna learn so much. I'm taking workshops with Tito Pen Medina at kung sinu-sino pa. Why not my dad?

Megastar Sharon Cuneta has complained about the construction of her neighbor's condominium unit, saying that it brought stress to her family. "Construction in my upstairs neighbor’s condo is driving us nuts! It’s been about a year na," said Cuneta on Facebook. Her complete post: "We are sleep-deprived & the noise is stressful for me, my husband and and my children when we are home, that living in a beautiful building that has its own hotel and restaurants (and that cost more than what I sold our Wack-Wack house for!?!) still makes us all want to move out and check into a nearby hotel or transfer to a house or another condo!; "I understand how uncomfortable it is for a homeowner to have to do some construction in his own property and know he’s inconveniencing and bothering neighbors; "I am usually very understanding. It’s just that we have been told over and over for about a year already that it would take “just one more month or two na la
