Bogo City pride Noel Tillor finally topped the men’s open division of the Borneo International Marathon. source: www.borneomarathon.com The 31-year-old Tillor finished the 42-kilometer course in 2 hours, 48 minutes and 13 seconds. Tillor’s victory marked the first time that a Filipino won the title in the prestigious race. It was a great comeback win for Tillor, who missed his opportunity in the last two editions of the event in 2014 and 2015. He placed second in his first try in 2014, where he finished in 2:49:21 behind Kenyan John Waithaka Njiha. Another disappointment came the following year as he was forced to stop three kilometers from the finish line due to an injury. The third time was a charm as Tillor made sure that he would emerge victorious as he took the men’s open crown of the race that featured 8,500 runners. Sources: Cebu Daily News , SunStar News

Bogohanon Tops Again!  Joe Mari Flores   passed the July 2010 Nursing Board Exam and made it to the Top 8. He spent his elementary years in Araneta Learning Center, then studied at San Remigio National High School for his secondary education. He earned his Bachelor's Degree in Nursing at Cebu Normal University . For some, their first priority is to work in Cebu, like 8th placer Joe Mari Abella Flores and 10th placer Razel Mae Nacua Libot of CNU who said said they wanted to serve their fellow Filipinos. “Maybe I would start as volunteer to get experience but eventually I will go abroad. While I want to work here, our labor is not well compensated”, said Flores, 20, of Bogo City. He said even if a nurse applies as a volunteer in the hospital, one needs a “backer” to be accepted and the compensation is not enough for the work.  - Cebu Daily News
