Over a thousand companies have conducted a Larong Pinoy Mini-Olympics Sports Fest as team-building activity for employees.  With Larong Pinoy, both young and old employees can play the games together!  It enlivens the company, and making everyone like "magkababata" (i.e. childhood playmates). 

 
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".

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.

Company Sports Fest Event Organizing For Employees



The Traditional Filipino Games are back in the mainstream of society, and private corporations have been using it as a team-building company sportsfest.



Filipino companies have made Larong Pinoy a Mini-Olympics Sport Fest, energizing employees with games that they use to play in their childhood years. It's a great way to build camaraderie.


Over a thousand companies Filipino corporations have organized a Pinoy Mini-Olympics sports fests, and re-discovered the fun of the Larong Pinoy games. 



Human Resource Managers have testified that a Larong Pinoy Sports Fest is truly a one-of-kind event-activity that leaves lasting impression among employees. It bonds employees like real “magkababata” (i.e., childhood friends). 


Playing the Traditional Filipino Street Games has become an alternative to implementing the usual Western sports activities.  The Filipino Games is an activity where both young and old employees can play and enjoy, (unlike other sports where only the younger generation can play).



For many years, many companies have been organizing popular sports like basketball or volleyball; and usually, only younger employees get to play in the tournaments. 

 
In Larong Pinoy games, everybody --- young and old --- are able to participate in the games.  Even employees who did not play enjoy the event, cheering and supporting their teams in every game.  The fun is unforgettable.  And best of all, employees who do not know each other become familiar with everyone.

Magna Kultura Foundation is the organizer of the Larong Pinoy company sportsfests. The organization is the national advocate of the Traditional Filipino Street Games.  



In the Y-2008, HRDs of Filipino companies started calling on Magna Kultura to organize team-building activities using Larong Pinoy games as platform for bonding employees.  

Magna Kultura organized the company sports fests, hassle-free for the HRDs: from planning to implementation, with tournament systems & procedures, game manuals with playing rules for each and every Filipino game; and running the games with referees and game marshals. The company’s organizing committee just sat back and relaxed; playing with the rest of their fellow-employees. 

Magna Kultura continues to conduct Palarong Pinoy sports fests for companies, on top of their on-going sports outreach programs in schools and barangays.  Magna Kultura works with HRDs and sports committees to conduct “proudly Pinoy” games that transforms the Filipino work-force into Communi-Teams.

LARONG 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.
