The multi-talented cast of Running Man Philippines went all-out for their opening performance at the “Run2U in Manila” event held at the Mall of Asia Arena on July 6.
Before their opening act, the Pinoy Runners were hard at work rehearsing for the big concert and fan meet.
The runners are currently rehearsing for their opening performance for the RUN 2 U event here at MOA!

GMA Integrated News showbiz reporter Aubrey Carampel also shared some glimpses on her Instagram account of their performances.
Both Miguel Tanfelix and Kokoy de Santos danced to the tune of Alamat's “Maharani,” while Buboy sang the hit OPM song “Raining in Manila” from Lola Amour.
Versatile actress Glaiza De Castro showed everyone she is a total performer with her version of Sarah Geronimo's “Tala,” while Lexi Gonzales and Angel Guardian sang a medley of BINI's hits.
Of course, Kap Mikael Daez was also at the “'RUN2U in Manila” to excite the fans and he also got a ton of support from his wife, Miss World 2013 winner Megan Young.
The latter also shared a selfie with GMA Senior Vice President for Entertainment Group Lilybeth G. Rasonable.

In an interview with 24 Oras Weekend, Glaiza de Castro was in awe of the chance given to them to serve as the opening act for the Running Man Korea superstars.
Glaiza stated, “Hindi naming inakala na aabot kami sa ganitong opportunity. Masaya na kami makatrabaho kami sa Korea. I-represent 'yung Philippines dun. And 'di ba, now, magpe-perform tayo. Mag-o-opening tayo for Running Man Korea.”
This performance was the manifestation of Kap Mikael Daez who wished that one day they could also be part of this big project of the OG Runners, when they watched the "Running Man in Manila 2023: A Decade of Laughter" fan meeting last April 2023.
“Siya 'yung nagsabi na nung nga nanonood kami nun sana next time kasama na tayo sa stage. True enough, ngayon nandito na kami,” Lexi Gonzales explained.
Watch Running Man Philippines season two on weekends at 7:15 p.m. You can also catch the delayed telecast of Running Man PH on GTV at 9:45 p.m. every Saturday and 11:05 p.m. on Sunday.
*HISTORIC MOMENT. Nagmeet last night (July 6) ang RM OGs at RMPH members. Salamat sa GMA Network, SBS, and Pulp for making this happen.
