SILP organizes mountain bikers’ race
“This is not just for physical, but spiritual help as well as donations will help our parish complete its pastoral and formation building which costs more than 10 million,” says Tour de Grande Dos Media and Promo Head Bro. Bombom Diez.

- 18 years old and under
- Master – 40-49 years old
- Veterans- 49-59 years old
- Legend – 60 up
- Ladies open
- Fat Boys – 180 lbs. (minimum)

The first tour was organized three years ago where road bikers travailed 150 kilometers. This time, the mountain bikers, for the first time are to traverse 16.2 (1 lap) to almost 33 kilometers from the parish vicinity to Sitio San Miguel, to the rough roads of Saavedra and the challenging uphill Pink Sisters church.
This is open for all as each is invited to join the fiesta mass at 9:00, same day. Registration is at P350 with food, water, and jersey.
“We target to raise 1 million. We thank the sponsors sa amua, and those who have registered. We reserved 250 slots. We also invited around 40 mountain bikers from Cotabato to include their bishop,” ended Bro. Diez.
The Tour de Grande Dos is just one among the many fund-raising campaign being lined up to finish the building. A concert, Jam and Gig was staged weeks ago, while another fun run is at works this September. For information visit SILP Soccom (FB acct), or contact Bro. Bert @ 0922-976-3192, Bro.
