Aira Lopez Leads a Fun and Memorable Ride for Hundreds of Cyclists in Batangas

On April 26, the Batangas Ride took place, with triathlete, content creator, and Sparkle artist Aira Lopez hosting the event. Hundreds of cyclists came together for this fun and meaningful activity at Sierra Makiling Grounds in Sto. Tomas City, Batangas. Even though the ride was organized spontaneously, the turnout was incredible. The ride became even more special with Aira’s boyfriend, Batangas Vice Governor Mark Leviste who is also running for Congressman in Batangas’ third district, as he joined for the first time. On Facebook, Aira candidly shared her joy over his participation: “Kahit na biglaan lang, hundreds of cyclists joined this spontaneous Yaya ride! It was a short and sweet trip, made even more special because sinamahan tayo ng ating PareCong MARK LEVISTE for the first time! It was his first ride, kaya hindi naka-cycling shorts, so imagine niyo yung tiis sa sakit ng pwet haha but still finished the 30kms!” Vice Governor Leviste also expressed his full support for events like these. He posted on his Facebook page: “Bilang inyong PareCONG Mark Leviste, buong puso kong sinusuportahan ang mga ganitong adbokasiya na nagtutulak ng malusog na pamumuhay, pagkakaisa ng komunidad, at promosyon ng turismo sa ating lalawigan. Maraming salamat [...]
