He was eating a native fruit called “marang” while taking a much-needed rest.
Undaloc had a brief talk with race director Roel Amabao-Ano of BBG Run.
“It's a bit difficult and hot, but we manage. It's a bit warm. But since it will cool down already because it's night, our time will be extended,” said Undaloc.

He is wearing blue jogging pants, a jacket, green t-shirt and a black cap.
