Adriano Staff reporter LAOAG CITY—When 9-year old Fevie Zaereel “Angel” Bagcal joined a group of police officers in a friendly race on early December 10, 2017, she thought she is just trying to exercise her muscles and joints. Little did the gold medal taekwondo prodigy of Shamrock Elementary School in this city knew that she is also running for the benefit of children like her. Dubbed as the first fun run activity of the Association of Police Officers via Lateral Entry (APOLE) in Ilocos Norte, the event aims to cultivate unity and camaraderie among its members, and to raise some funds for its charity programs. The group encouraged civilians to also join the activity in support of the charity programs of the Ilocos Norte police force such as gift-giving to the needy and feeding school children. Pegged at a registration fee ranging from PHP250 to PHP450 for the 3K (kilometer), 5K, 10K and 21K categories, organizers said they will use the proceeds
