Selected North Fairview Elementary School students from grades 4, 5 and 6 spent a couple of carefree hours on Oct 21 to help promote the games of the Filipino heritage. The students were part of the launching of Magna Kultura’s Larong Pinoy–an organization spearheading the integration of traditional Filipino games to the physical education curriculum of Philippine public elementary schools with Metro Manila as the jump off point.
The event, which commenced at 2pm at the school gym, was attended by the Department of Education (DepEd) officials and staff from various NCR offices. Volunteers from the Rotaract club and PUP Communications Society joined the fun as sports marshalls (aka referees), coaches, and buffet attendants alongside Magna Kultura staffers.
The student athletes displayed their skills and talents in patintero, tumbang preso and piko in a demonstration in front of the DepEd guests and hundreds of their schoolmates.
