About the 2025 Philippine Medical Association of San Diego Carabao 5K
The PMASD is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization of Filipino American Physicians and Advanced Practice Providers committed to uplifting and enriching the Filipino community by recognizing and responding to its needs, both locally in San Diego and abroad in the Philippines.
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.
Funds raised can be used to support the San Diego and Filipino Communities, here locally and in the Philippines, where there is no shortage of need and even water is a luxury.
What is the Carabao?
The Carabao, a vital symbol in Filipino culture, represents strength, resilience, and community; it embraces the spirit of the 5K event. The legendary water buffalo of the Philippines promotes cultural pride and unity among both participants and sponsors. It demonstrates the power and perseverance to accomplish a physical feat, such as a 5K, and the strength to lift community members in need.
