RUNNING FOR HEALTH, SERVICE, AND NATION 🇵🇭🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

In celebration of the 126th Anniversary of the Bureau of Quarantine, the BOQ Tacloban Station, together with members of the local community, came together last night for a Community Fitness Run.

More than just a run, this activity reflects what BOQ stands for—
protecting the nation’s health, strengthening border health security, and promoting community resilience, starting with personal and collective responsibility for wellness.

For 126 years, BOQ has safeguarded the country at our ports of entry. Today, we continue that mission not only through policy and enforcement, but also by walking, running, and moving with the communities we serve.

Thank you to everyone who joined us in celebrating health, solidarity, and public service.

From quarantine origins to a modern national health security institution.
Modernization begins with individual responsibility.
