'I'll be participating, we (the family) are going to be participating,” he said.</div><div><br/></div><div>However, the young Magalona added that he might not be able to join the runners. “I'm not sure if I'm going to run.<i> Baka hindi ako ano eh</i> prepared. <i>Siguro</i>, I'll just be there to support everyone. I'm hoping <i>na maraming mag</i>-join,' Elmo explained.</div><div><br/></div><div>How did the idea of a fun run came about? '<i>Paran</i>g it's an idea na kinombine with Bearwin Meilly. <i>Si </i>Bearwin <i>ata</i>, he is the one who talked to us and he wanted to fix this day,<i> na</i> we're going to do this run,' said the young actor-singer referring to the comedian.</div><div><br/></div><div>The run called “Remembering FrancisM: I<i>sang Umaga, Isang Takbo, Isang Alaala</i>” is scheduled on March 30 at the Quirino Grandstand in Manila.
