THE MESSAGE. BRINGING INTO FOCUS FILIPINO PRESENCE IN AUSTRALIA www.kalatas.com.au | Volume 4 Number 10 | July 2014 SPORTS Cyclists move it with LBC AROUND 30 Pinoy cyclists braved the morning cold on June 29 to take part in a recreational fun ride to kick off a campaign to promote fitness and wellbeing in a community project undertaken by LBC Australia as part of the LBC ‘Move it Pilipinas’ program. THE cyclists come from different Filipino-Australian bicycle clubs and organisations who have banded under a new Fil-Aussie cycling club, the United Cyclists Club of Australia (UCCA). “This campaign is to move and encourage a FILOZ community to get involved in sports. On this note, LBC promotes health and well-being of individuals and families and promotes goodwill with our local community and building a healthy lifestyle within the community,” said Delfin Posada, LBC Australia country manager and Director for LBC Money Transfer Pty Ltd. The fun ride was held at the M7 bike path starting from Rooty Hill Station and included a time trial challenge topped by Emman Pineda (time 37:57:00) followed by James Montecillo (38:02:00) and Jim Sagurit (39:30:00). Mr. Posada said that the project is also aimed at scouting talents among young Fil-Aussie cyclists who could be groomed and trained for future international prestigious cycling events. An awards presentation hosted by LBC Australia was held later in the afternoon at the JIL Church Function Hall in Arndell Park, Blacktown.
