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.
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.
And what's best is that the organizers, Magna Kultura Foundation,
conducts it in such a way that even the HRD staff and sports committee can play
on the event day without the hassle of running the company event.
In addition to the outreach advocacy programs in schools and
Barangays, Magna Kultura Foundation continues to conduct sports fests for
private companies as a third strategy, for reviving the Traditional Filipino
Street Games back in the mainstream of society.
Magna Kultura believes that once adults get the feel of playing the games, soon they will also play it with their kids; thus, subtly making them fellow-advocates for promoting Larong Pinoy
