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.

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 even before the event. The employee bonding solidly permeates that, even if they don’t win on the day of the event, they become satisfied with the friendships they have built in the process.

PINOY SPORTS FEST FOR COMPANIES

LARONG PINOY CONTINUES TO BE A FAVORITE SPORTS FEST ACTIVITY FOR MANY FILIPINO COMPANIES.  BEYOND PLAYING ON THE DAY OF THE EVENT, THE GAMES IS CAPABLE OF BUILDING STRONG EMPLOYEE RELATIONSHIPS. 

The Traditional Filipino Street Games continues to be a favorite sports fest activity for local companies. Private business corporations continues to request Magna Kultura Foundation (the national proponent of the games) to organize the Larong Pinoy event as a company sports fest activity. 

This year, over a hundred companies organized Larong Pinoy mini-Olympics. Among the latest companies that played the Filipino games are: Asian Development Bank (ADB), Nissan Motors, Red Ribbon, United Coconut Planters Bank, Cocolife, the Dept of Health, Punongbayan & Araullo, Panasonic, Equicom Group of Companies, Eagle Cement, Chevron Phils., Ahnex Builders, and many others.

Human Resource Department heads saw the Filipino Street Games as an effective instrument for employee bonding.  Indeed, the games are able to make employees from different departments easily get acquainted with each other; and, like childhood playmates, the bonding experience goes beyond weeks, even months, after the event.

The Larong Pinoy Sports Fest event excites employees into doing things that they did in the childhood days, especially the elder adults.  From day one, after HRD announces Larong Pinoy as the sports fest activity, the office environment become high on enthusiasm; making employees talk about the games, their childhood experience, and even practicing within the office. It brings the corporate community alive.

In the past, most companies have been doing the regular basketball, volleyball and badminton events, until Human Resource Department staff discovered the fun experience that Larong could bring; on top of the teambuilding capability it can offer. And what makes the Larong Pinoy sports fest even unique is that Magna Kultura Foundation organizes it like a real “Olympics event”, with professional tournament system and officiating, with live annotation and hosting, with team captains, torch relays, and all the works. And, amidst all these, the HRD staff and sports committee can play on the event day without the hassle of running the company event.

Amidst the modern age of computers and high-tech gadgets, Magna Kultura Foundation has been implementing Larong Pinoy sports clinics and tournaments in schools and Barangay communities since Y-2003. 

When local Filipino corporations started requesting Magna Kultura to organize company sportsfests for employees, the foundation saw it as an opportunity to advocate the games among adults; to make the adults fellow-advocates for ‘promoting’ the games among their children.

The advocacy to promote "Laro ng Lahi" is a timely crusade amidst the age of globalization. The traditional Filipino Games is a cultural treasure that is cherished by many Filipino to this day.  It is not true that it is no longer played by children, as some would say that it has vanished in Philippine society in the age of computers and high-tech gadgets. In many urban and rural areas, a great majority of Filipino children still play outdoor street games as most of them are still unable to own expensive high-tech gadgets.

Larong Pinoy is very much alive in the Philippines. And now that many companies are playing the games, the revival becomes stronger. The adults are playing the games again, and using it to make friendships in their company come alive.  Thus, using the games to build the company's culture.

This is our games.  This our culture.  Let us keep it alive, even in the modern age, because this is what makes us stand as a Filipino race.  Preserve and advocate things that are FILIPINO.

The Traditional Filipino Street Games is back in the mainstream of Philippine society, and has become a popular sports fest activities for local corporations.  

Magna Kultura Foundation, an arts and culture organization who has been conducting Larong Pinoy sports clinics and tournaments in schools and Barangay communities since Y-2003, started implementing team-building sports fests among Philippine corporation. 

The promotion of Larong Pinoy among companies as a Mini-Olymipcs Sports Fest is Magna Kultura's effort to make adults fellow-advocates in the revival of the Filipino games. By reviving their interest in the games, it is probable that they would teach it among their children.

 

 

Since Y-2008, over a thousand companies have conducted Larong Pinoy sports fests. Human Resource Department heads saw Larong Pinoy as an effective company team-bonding activity among employees. 

In Y-2009, private business corporations started requesting for Magna Kultura to organize the  Larong Pinoy event as a company sports fest activity. 

The Traditional Filipino Street Games has become an effective instrument for bridging employee relationships. The games are able to make employees from different departments easily get acquainted  with each other; and, like childhood playmates, the bonding experience goes beyond months, even years, after the event.

 

The thought of conducting a Larong Pinoy Sports Fest for the company thrills employees into doing things that they did in the childhood days, especially the elder adults.

Buhayin natin ang Larong Pinoy.  Let adults play the game again, and make the company come alive!

Organizing Larong Pinoy Sports Fest for Private companies is among the cultural entrepreneurship approaches of Magna Kultura to revive the games among Filipino adults who use to play the games; at the same time, an advocacy to revive the Games of Our Heritage ("Laro ng Lahi") back in the mainstream of Philippine society, among children and adults.

Larong Pinoy Mini-Olympics As Team-Building

The Traditional Filipino Street Games bounces back into the mainstream of Philippine society; finds its home into the hearts of adults, re-discovers the fun of playing Larong Pinoy during Company Sports Fests --- bonding employees, and building  relationships like real “kababata’s”.

It is a game anyone can play!

The Filipino Street Games has been with us for over a century.  In today’s modern age of technology, the games are very much alive, bringing fun in communities, schools, and lately, as a team-building sports fest in local corporations.

Human Resource Department personnel saw the values that it brings to employees, as it bonds young and old together in activities that everyone can play. 

Filipino Team building is more than just dragging employees to the usual basketball intramurals or having someone give them a lecture on why it’s important to work together. People learn best when they’re moving around, interacting, and working together on fun challenges.

Since the 1980’s there have been many new sports and innovative games --- Triathlon, Xtreme Sports, Cross Games, Fun Runs, etc.  In Y2008, many companies have opted to launch sports fest using the Traditional Filipino Street Games as platform form team-building sports fests. With Larong Pinoy, employees THINK FILIPINO.

There's more than one way to improve the level of employee engagement in a company. Using Larong Pinoy is a unique platform to engage employees, creating youthful energy and fun community atmosphere at the workplace. It triggers sharing of personal experiences and insights that leads to intimate bonding.

The selection of Larong Pinoy as a Sports Fest Activity is intended to involve employees into doing an alternative event instead of the usual western sports, to make the company affair fun and truly Filipino. 

It is a fact that only a few employees get to play in the usual sports like basketball, volleyball, or other western sports; with Larong Pinoy everybody can play --- from executives, to staff, to clerks, to general service employees.  

It’s a game everybody knows.  It’s a game everyone can enjoy --- even the non-sporty type.  Larong Pinoy challenges employees & staff to re-learn the Filipino Street Games blended with team building values and youthful camaraderie in the office.  With Larong Pinoy as sports fest platform, the team bonding goals will flow naturally among employees and staff, internally at the office even before the day of the event.

What Happens When Companies Decide To Use Larong Pinoy As Sportsfest Platform?

Internally at the Office

It will get each and every employee talking about the games, reviewing what they know, and definitely remembering their childhood memories.  It will “bring-out the child” in everyone when they relate to one another, making the office alive.

It will trigger individual exploration, making young people consult elderly employees who are knowledgeable about the games.  It is a light and fun bridge for office bonding.

And, it will trigger CommuniTeam bonding as they practice the games together.    

Then, During The Event

Larong Pinoy engages employees with a unique sporting experience (definitely different from the usual basketball or track racing). In all types of games, everyone can play --- young our old, line or staff.  And, even non-players have the fun of watching co-employees execute and compete in the games.  It's a different kind of fun.

There is total team bonding with fun-filled cooperation that naturally flow amongst participants.  Larong Pinoy leaves no physical hurt or emotional feelings (unlike rough sports like basketball), because  it’s all child-like fun games and thrills that are so Pinoy.

The Larong Pinoy sports fest impart a youthful and unforgettable experience among employees. The youthful atmosphere that it creates will make them feel as if they all grew up together.  Aside from CommuniTeam Building, it builds employee relationships .

It is a game everybody knows.  It is a game that anyone can play with a youthful spirit --- from management to staff to line employees --- young and old!   The Larong Piinoy experience reverberates within the organization even weeks after the event ---- making each and every  feel as if they “grew up and played with each other when they were young”.  This is the spirit that games of our heritage bring into an organization.  And a well-organized event even makes it more memorable.

Magna Kultura Foundation, an NGO for arts and culture, organizes Larong Pinoy sports fests for companies with a Mini-Olympics format, making it truly fun and challenging for young and old employees.

Larong Pinoy Sports Clinics Popular in Barangays

Communities in Metro-Manila re-experience the fun of the Traditional Filipino Street Games during the Barangay outreach tour of the Larong Pinoy Sports Clinic conducted by Magna Kultura Foundation, the national advocate of the Filipino Heritage Games in the country.   

Parents and grandparents brought their children to the sports clinic to let their children learn the games the same games they all used to play when they were young.  

While many of the new generations are familiar with the most popular of  games, the Larong Sports Clinic added new knowledge and techniques for children to play the game with an amateur playing skill.   

Magna Kultura taught children the official rules of playing the games, as well as the proper ways of making the ground markers in the playing field.

Larong Pinoy Sports Clinic are being held in urban cities teaching kids popular Filipino street games like Patintero, Tumbang Preso, Piko, Luksong Tinik and many games that our parents and elders use to play.

The fun training sessions teaches participants detailed mechanics of each and every game, the proper posture and movements, with systematic techniques on how to play each game and win the match. 

The 1st Part is a 20-minute session teaching participants the game mechanics, with systematic drills for proper execution, posture and movement.

The 2nd Part is a 3 ½ half hours session where participants are grouped into teams and conducted with actual game play; and, this time, orienting participants in the tournament formats and officiating rules.  

It's fascinating to see the kids to execute each drill exercise, and giggling their way through each and every task.

The first Larong Pinoy Sports Clinics were launched by Magna Kultura Foundation in Y-2008 in Barangay Communities in Metro-Manila. The venues were jam-packed with kids who enlisted.  

The event did not need much hyping and announcement because when word went out around among the neighborhood about the Larong Pinoy Clinics, parents who knew the games signed-up they children in the sports activity. 

Larong Pinoy is the traditional Filipino street games handed down from generations; it is the games of our heritage (Laro ng Lahi). It is cherished by elderly adults (grandparents), parents, and it is played by today's youth.

Patuloy nating buhayin ang laro ng ating lahi sa panahon ng modernisasyon.  Ito ay yaman n gating lahi.  Ipamahagi natin ito sa bagong kabataan.
