Corporate
Mini-Olympics Are More Fun With Larong Pinoy. It's A Team-Building
Sports Fest Where Young And Old Employees Can Play.
IT'S FUN. IT'S CHALLENGING. AND IT BREATHES YOUTHFUL BONDING AMONG EMPLOYEES.
In the past, basketball and other ballgames are
organized and only a few people to play --- mostly the younger employees. But
now, both young and old employees play together with the Traditional Filipino street
games in an exciting mini-Olympics format. And company sports fests come alive.
Human Resource Department staff have discovered the benefits
of using the Filipino games as sports fest platform: it does not only bring
fun, but creates warm camaraderie among employees --- making them feel like
childhood playmates, i.e. "mag-kababata".
Magna Kultura Foundation conducts the sports fest like a real Olympics event, which gives employees the grand feeling of being in a professional arena.
The games are officiated by referees and marshals using the Official Tournament Rules instituted by Magna Kultura Foundation, the national advocate of the Filipino Games.
In organizing the company sports fest, Magna Kultura partners
with the HRD and Sports Committee; internally making the event a team-building
activity within the company. Teams are
formed with Team Captains, co-captains and even playing Coaches for each and
every game. Game manuals are provided by
Magna Kultura, along with team line-up sheets and other vital tournament
materials.
Games like Patintero, Tumbang Preso, Luksong Tinik,
Luksong Lubid, and other Pinoy Games are as challenging as any Western
sport. It requires agility, skills, and
strategy. Employees match players against other
department teams. Even cheer chants are
created to rally team spirit. And, just
by being Filipino, makes it more fun.
As employees plan and practice the games, a team-building
atmosphere is created inside the offices.
The employee bonding solidly permeates that, even if they don’t win on
the day of the event, they become satisfied with the friendship they have built
in the process.

Organizing
Larong Pinoy Sports Fest for Private companies is a cultural
entrepreneurship approach of Magna Kultura to revive the games among
Filipino adults; to build camaraderie the Filipino way (kababata); at
the same, for adult-parents to teach the games among their children.
This is Magna Kultura Foundation's advocacy to
revive the Games of Our Heritage ("Laro ng Lahi")
back in the
mainstream of Philippine society.
