PHOX 2022 rescheduled to make way for relief ops

After Typhoon Karding (international name Noru) ravaged Quezon Province, organizers have rescheduled the Philippine Overland Expedition (PHOX) 2022.

Instead of conducting it on October 12-16, the event will be moved to October 18-23, and the campers will start their journey on October 21-23.

Following the adjustment, the organizers said that the event registration has also been extended up to October 15.

The PHOX 2022 is a 285-kilometer-long overland journey from San Fernando, Pampanga to General Nakar, Quezon via Nueva Ecija route. “Ultimately, this event will challenge each team's resilience and camaraderie, while raising awareness to hidden yet threatened landscapes and cultures,” the coordinators said in the social media page.

Relatedly, the Mototesto Team will have an emergency relief operation in General Nakar from October 7-9 to help communities in the area get back on their feet.

In an announcement posted over its official Facebook page, the organizers are urging those who want to donate to bring their contributions to Farmers Garden Parking at McArthur corner Epifanio delos Santos Avenue until today (October 6).

“Monetary donations are also accepted and will be used to buy GI sheets, nails, and other construction supplies,” the organizers added.
