Group Shibashi at 10:00 in the morning, lead by Senior Citizens Group from Brookside Hills Subdivision, Cainta, Rizal. “At 10am on April 30, different countries from all over the world will be doing tai chi together, so because of the different time zones, the effect will be such that the whole world will be doing tai chi together for 24 straight hours,” Delgado, President of Peace Blossoms, explained.
