May 9 started as early as 2:00 AM at the Cultural Center of the Philippines Complex, and the energy was already electric.
As a major sponsor of first-official Popeye Run 2026 by EmpowerPH, fleuresse® — your homeware, designed in Germany since 1960’s, and powered by North-Diamond Consumer Goods Trading (official sole distributor in the Philippines) — became one of the event’s most memorable highlights. Runners and families from all across NCR and nearby provinces made their way to our booths, and we couldn’t be more grateful for every single one of them.
Hand-made flowers, freebies, and a freedom wall. Our registration area came alive with vibrant blooms in every color, functional bags and pouches on display, and a freedom wall where participants penned their congratulatory notes and heartfelt messages.
First in line. Ms. Mariel A. traveled all the way from Bulacan to kick off her 10KM run — but first, coffee and shanghai at ND Dining Treats “Sala at Hapag.” Now that’s the right way to fuel up!
A Mother’s Day moment. Mommy Maricel, together with her son Walter and daughter Joana from Sampaloc, Manila, registered after spotting the flower giveaways. For her, that bloom wasn’t just a freeaway — it was a Mother’s Day gift, straight from the heart.
Smiles behind the lens. Professional runner Renz G. noted how rare it is to have a free photo opportunity at a race event powered by Omega Lifestyle Studio — and he appreciated every click. Meanwhile, the lovely couple Alessa and Ryan from QC patiently waited through the long queue just to get their pink and white flower and enjoy our games and photo booth. Worth it? Absolutely.
Cousins on the run! Noah, Victor, Bernadette, Kevin, and Jacob — ranging from 10 to 15 years old, all the way from Cainta, Rizal — absolutely owned the photo booth. Big smiles, big energy, and unforgettable poses.
And the food? Oh, the food. Across our three (3) “SleepWell.LiveWell” booths and Sala at Hapag, guests enjoyed pancit, spam musubi, shanghai, arrozcaldo, refreshing Vitality Iced Cubes, and Halo Halo.
To everyone who dropped by, lined up, ran with us, and shared this morning with us — thank you. You made Popeye Run 2026 truly special.
Warm regards,
The North-Diamond Team
