Run With Your Egg at Egg Power Run

Did you know, that the Municipality of Minalin in Pampanga is called the "Egg Basket of Luzon" and has held the Country's first ever egg festival on June 4, 2008?
Do you also know that contrary to popular beliefs, there is actually no nutritional difference between the white and brown egg varieties? Brown eggs are laid by hens with red ear lobes, and white eggs are laid by hens with white ear lobes.
Hungry for more egg trivia? Here's another one...
Did you also know, that you now have a chance to run with your egg from the starting line towards the finish line without the scare of getting chased by a hen? This will surely make your hands' running form perfect after finishing the run. What's more exciting is that if you get to the finish line without breaking your egg, you will go home with more eggs in your palm... or rather, basket!

Just two weeks after the New year 2015 celebration, the Philippine Egg Board Association will be on the frontline to promote and change the way we think about the misunderstood eggs, specially about the eggs' goodness and nutritional value.
