  1. May isa sa TT nag hanash kaya daw sumali dahil maganda medals. Alden apologized 2x, twice, dalawang beses, they’re just waiting for delivery. But participants had fun running and “people watching”.

    1. Dapat kasi bago magorganize ng mga ganyan planado na at handa. Hindi ung magaadjust pa ang mga tao sa kakulangan ng org.

    2. 1216 medals “lang” ang issue ng iba jan in which Alden said they will ship out later on. So ok na ba sayo yung sagot nya? He took accountability which is good dahil he organized this event na by the way is a CHARITY event for the marginalized members of Mowelfund. In fact kung iisipin mo, dapat masaya ka na dahil nakatulong ka

    3. 12:39 well said, the purpose is for a good cause, out of the hundreds participants isa lang nag complain yun ang na highlight but the benefits and amount raised by the fundraising is commendable 👍

    4. Eh dapat pumayag sya na to follow din yung registration fee ng mga sumali kung late naman mga medals. Bakit outright magbayad agad di naman pala kaya outright ibigay mga medals.

      Delete
    5. 1239 Kaya walang asenso ang pinas dahil sa mga katulad nyong mga enablers. Tama yong isang commenter, organization is essential in every activity, regardless of its significance and size.

      Delete
    6. 811 then what is your suggestion? The event is done. He apologized and took responsibility. He even said the medals will arrive on the same day. So ayaw pa din mag move on because? I don’t think it’s about the event anymore. Yung hugot mo is being a fantard of another artist and a basher of Alden. Yun yon

    7. 12:39 delulung delulu na talaga kayo sa kakatanggol sa idol nyong OC pero unorganized ang event. Kaya siguro panay ang pasaring

    9. 348 wag mo din gawing habit ang bashing and fault finding. nasulosyunan na yung tinatalak mo. so sige pa din ang talak, for what? also, pet peeve ko mga keyboard warriors na tulad mo. find a job girl! wag tambay sa socmed

    5. Baka naman gusto sabihin ni 12:07 about American time, kasi di pwede dun kung paano dito sa Pinas na nakakaloka ang late, parang mga bumbay din.

    10. 1236 That is totally an ignorant and dumb comment. He deports people who are ILLEGAL so bakit kami magkakaproblema at magkakaproblema si 1207. Nakakaloka ka wala kang logical thinking

    13. Andyan ka sa US... for now. Good luck with Trump around!

      It's a charity run, hindi naman siya competitive like Iron Man, at ipapadala naman ang medals. Di natin alam ba't na-late but point is, everyone had fun. Do the medals really matter?

    3. 1259 medals already arrived. at kung sumali ka man (which i doubt). pag natanggap mo medal mo, pakisaksak sa baga mo pls. LOL

    4. 355 hindi talaga ko sumali at sasali. Nag sawa na ako sa pag join ng fun runs and marathon (full 42k, mind you) in my heyday. Isang box ang mga singlets ko. At mura pa noon. Mahal na ang 500. Napaka exorbitant ng fees ngayon. And sa dekada ng fun runs dito tas Alden pa yan, you'd think they'd be organized baka amateur company na naman ni Alden na Myriad ang nagpaka expert organizer jan.

    3. Obvious na you never ran and signed up on any fun run, yes medal is important, the people who ran and signed up PAID, aside sa it's a charity run,halos lahat naman ng fun run eh for charity,
      Mag research ka bago ka kumuda na medal lang

      Delete
    4. Hindi naman po siya nag-tatago and he apologized twice at the event and took the responsibility.

      To add, medals are needed for this event, it is a sign of accomplishment to those who joined them, kahit charity siya. Although, ma-delay ang shipment ng mga medals ibibigay pa rin nila yun sa mga tao. Dapat hindi na rin sila nag-accomodate ng mga late registration.

    5. 245 parang hindi naman sya napahiya teh. anjan na yung mga medals oh at ang ganda pa. Ikaw lang ang napahiya dto at hindi ka naman totoong runner pero ikaw tong OA. basher ka lang kase

  6. Some people are just shallow geez. Medals lang ang pinagpuputok ng butse nila. It was clear from the get go kung anong event to, it was a charity event. People grow up! Yung iba kase for clout nalang kaya nag join jan eh

    2. We signed up expecting a medal because that’s what they advertised. And you will never know the feeling of finishing a race expecting a medal at the end because you obviously don’t participate in marathons. Your idol’s event is a mess. Accept it in silence.

      Delete
    3. 'yan kasi ang parang ultimate prize ng mga tumakbo at sayang walang picture. it maybe shallow at it sounds but those are the only things that some people can get after supporting a charity.

      Delete
    4. Mahal na kasi ang fee to join fun runs ngayon, and doon kinukuha pampagawa ng medal. It's a source of pride to many runners na mag collect ng finisher's medals at singlets. Medals ate proof na you ran the entire distance, proof if accomplishment.

      Delete
    5. Mas shallow kayong mga delulu fans na nila Lang ang medal. Pag sa idol nyo nangyari yan ay baka tinadtad nyo na ng bash ang organizer pero dahil yung idol nyo mismo ang nag organized at palpak kaya todo tanggol kayo at victim blamer sa mga nadisappoint!

    6. 245 you just proved how shallow you are. charity over medal. geez!

  7. Ha haha ito talagang mga fans ni Alden, hindi makatanggap ng criticism. Hello, the fun run was not open to all people, they paid to run and compete. Hindi lang medal ang reklamo ng mga participants. The event was disorganized. It started really late, kalat logistics, walang medals. Minsan matutong tumanggap ng kakulangan because that's the only way you can improve yourself. His fans are blaming other artists' fans dahil sinabotahe daw. Wala namang fan club dyan involved.

    1. Nope we are not blind followers and saan mo nakita na Alden fans are blaming other fans and for what? Ikaw yata ang fault finder eh. In fact Alden acknowledged it before and after the event (2x). He took accountability sa shortcomings nya and is doing something about it, di ba mga i-send pa din yung medals later on? So ano pang gusto mo? Also, did you even run?

    2. 12:48 It’s clear you were not there those were your assumptions may video at updated mga tao to what really happened. Ang daming fun post kaya sa TikTok

    3. 12:56 ipapadala daw within the day. Tapos na po ang araw, walang naipadala sa LAHAT. At kahit ipadala IN THE FUTURE, the moment’s gone. They can never bring back the feeling ng runner who finished the race, expecting a medal. The event is a mess. Nakakahiya. End of story.

      Delete
    4. Geez blind followers nga kayo kasi grabe kayo mang-attack sa pumuna sa event organiser na para bang wala syang pwedeng gawing mali. In the grand scheme of things, maliit lang siguro ang role ni Alden sa kapalpakan ng event at pwede namang ayusin... but still a fault that need to be addressed. His apology is apprepciated naman pero kung maka attack kayo sa mga taong nagrereklamo and quickly dismiss their concerns ay maling-mali. Talagang he can do no wrong in your eyes. Parang rabid dogs on attack mode palagi

      Delete
    5. 12:56 palusot.com pa more...sana a day before the event pa lang in announce na ang absence ng medal sa finish line. At wag nyo ma lang lang ang medal dahil for sure magrereklamo din yang idol nyo kung hindi lang sya part ng organizers.

      Delete
    6. 12:56 hater lang talaga yan ni Alden. Mga taong laging naghahanap ng butas sa taong ayaw nila.

    7. Were you at fun run? Where did you get your info? Or maritess ka lang who just want to stir an issue na sobrang petty naman? Sa 500 kataong tumakbo, let say only 5-10 people complained because of what? Yung medal or water (if you’re a runner, you should bring water anyways). And the rest naman like 495 people were happy and had fun dahil nakatulong na sila, nag enjoy pa sila cos of course running is good for their health. Don’t complicate things ateng. You can bash people na talagang mali ang ginawa but not people who are trying their best to help a community. Masyado ka namang critical

      Delete
    8. Regardless, dapat organized kasi nagabayad yong mga tumakbo. Anyway, nagsorry naman and promised si A. Hope he learned his lesson para next time wala ng aberya. At yong mga A tards wag ng ipagtanggol, obviously may lapses kaya may accountability and that's it!

      Delete
    9. Mas marami po ang mas masaya sa fun run

      Ang mga iilan lang nag-complain ay nasanay na sa pag-takbo with receiving medals sa finishing line. Kaya they complained na they did not the medals.

      Sa dami ng participants, they also decided na wag na lang muna mabigyan ng medals kahit meron na silang nagawa, para parehas lahat.

  12. I think Alden had no choice but to apologize. Good for him. But no one can deny the fact that something was indeed wrong that in an event, charity or not, where medals are to be the ultimate award, the organizers had none to give out. That was a big failure on their part.

    ReplyDelete
  13. The event was a huge success! The recipients
    of this event will be very happy of your support. And they are the people behind the camera, people who are really the backbone of a movie or a show. It may not be perfect but I’m sure Alden and the organizers will learn from it. Congrats Alden, Mowelfund and everyone

  15. In any first event, there is always birth pain. I guess he will learn from it and move on and do better next time. He took ownership to what happened and he offered a solution. So ok na ako don. Your intention for the mowelfund members are more commendable

  19. The supplier failed to completely deliver on time most likely. Sa mga hanash, please dont give runners a bad reputation, most runners are not karens, mabait kami as long as ma explain ng maayos. We understand issues like this. Ang importante natuloy ang run ng maayos at ang mga celebrity friends announced showed up. Lessons learned. We runners dont run for medals , we run for our personal goals and we run for this charitable event for MOwelfund. We runners encourage new organizers and we support them. We dont want the running community to die again. congrats Mowelfund and Myriad. Halika, lets run para patayin ang mga bad cholesterol

    1. Mas sabaw kayong delusional Atards na kahit mali tinotolerate dahil idol nyo. And fyi, sa mga disappointed participants galing ang mga naunang complain dahil sila mismo ang nandoon. Feeling kase ng idol mo at ng mga kasama nyang celebrity ay sila ang ipinunta ng ibang sumali lolol, hindi lahat mahilig umidolo ng artista at nagbayad sila kaya may karapatan silang kumuda if hindi nameet ang expectation nila.

    2. 4:15 am, Inamin nila pagku-kulang nila at nag-sorry ng dalawang beses sa maraming tao at naghahanap ng solusyon sa problema. Ang pag tolerate mo sa pagkaka-mali ay iyong hindi nag apologize at walang ginagawang solusyon. Ikaw nga wala ka doon at hindi ka rin naman nagbayad??
