Team P.I.G.S. started in 2014 during the height of the running era. The group was founded and organized by Sir Jo “AMA” Borlaza and Michael “SuperMike” Marquez. It began with individuals who crossed paths at various fun run events and eventually became close friends. This bond inspired them to create a running group with a unique and fun theme inspired by the character of a pig.

Guided by their official motto, #HappyPigs, the group showcases that running is not just about fitness, but also about joy and camaraderie. Despite the playful theme, P.I.G.S. stands for People In Great Shape, a testament that every member stays strong, healthy, and happy in every race, and in all aspects of life.
