Ranking Conflicts and Corrections

  1. Parents not using the correct PBR number plate
  2. Parents using different names for the child
  3. Parents mixing up their surname and first name
  4. Parents illegible handwriting in the attendance sheet or registration form

Refund Rules

Dear parent, our registration fee is only P480 and we want to keep it that way so entry fees will not be a barrier for kids to join.

This low fee means we suffer a loss every time someone asks for a refund for any reason. This is because the cost of production of your child’s medal, certificate and insurance all has a cost that we ourselves cannot get back.

In this regard we are implementing the following deductions for refund of the P480 entry fee for any reason.

100% refund of P480 will be made if you ask for refund 5 days before the activity:

If less than 5 days notice before the activity:

  1. Less P50 pesos for finishers Medal production
  2. Less P100 pesos for accident insurance for the event
  3. Less P20 for certificate

Total to be refunded is: P310 out of P480
