Cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death in all people, here in San Diego as well as globally. In the United States, the Filipino Community suffers from heart disease at a rate twice that of the general American population. San Diego County has the third highest population of Filipino Americans, with over 200,000. The PMASD Carabao 5K promotes a lifestyle that encourages stronger hearts to defend against this horrible, largely preventable disease.
