Kokoy De Santos is hailed as the "Running Man Philippines" Season 2 ultimate runner!

Kokoy eliminated Miguel Tanfelix first, then Ruru Madrid.

With Kokoy and Buboy as the last players standing, the two runners went head to head to rip each other’s name tags. In the end, Kokoy successfully ripped Buboy’s name tag and sealed his victory.

In a social media post, the newest ultimate runner thanked the show, his fellow runners, his family, and everyone who believed in him. 

“Maraming Salamat sa inyong lahat na nagtiwala sa akin, na kaya ko. Noong simula palang.. may mga bagay na tumatakbo sa utak ko na kung bakit ako parte ng napakalaking proyekto na ito. Pero nandiyan kayo para palaging ipaaalala sa akin. Na kaya ko. At ito. Para sa inyo ito.. Pamilya ko, mga Tropa ko at sa mga Kolokoys ko,” Kokoy wrote. 

[Thank you to everyone who trusted me that. I could do it. From the very beginning, I had been wondering why I was part of this very big project. But you remained present to remind me that I can do it. This is for you, my family, my friends, to my Kolokoys.] 

“Sa lahat ng bumubuo ng ‘Running Man Philippines’, sa mga runners ko, mahal ko kayo. Hanggang sa muli.. Tatakbo tayo ulit,” he added.

[To all who make up 'Running Man Philippines,' to the runners, I love you. Until the next time. Let's run again!.]

The theme for "Running Man Philippines" Season 2's finale race is "Runners in Borderland," a reference to the hit Netflix series "Alice in Borderland."
