Fun Mini-Olympics Sports Fest For Filipino Companies


Organize a Larong Pinoy Mini-Olympics Sports Fest for your company.  Larong Pinoy is a favorite sports fest activity for many Filipino companies because these are games where young and old employees will be surely able to play. On top of that, 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.  



Over a thousand companies have held Larong Pinoy Corporate Mini-Olympic Events.  Human Resource Managers have testified that a Larong Pinoy event is truly a one-of-kind activity that leave lasting impression on employees, and bring out the best in each and everyone.

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 team-building capability it can offer. 

Unlike Basketball or any of the usual western sports activities, Larong Pinoy is a game where everybody will be able to easily participate in.  Even employees who don’t want play enjoys the event --- cheering, "jeering" and supporting the teams.  Kakaiba ang Larong Pinoy.  


The event is executed like a real Olympics event --- with professional officiating & tournament system with an Olympic sports music scoring ambience. Employees will be grouped into teams, with their own team captains. And competitions are conducted with matches on Patintero, Tumbang Preso, Jumping Rope, Sipang Bilangan, and various Pinoy Relay Races.


From planning to implementation, Magna Kultura executes everything with a Tournament Systems & Procedures manual, with Referees and Game Marshals, the Emcee announcement.  Magna Kultura provides the Game Materials, Registration Forms, the Program Scripts, and everything that makes for an Olympic-like event ---- so that your sports committee can sit back, relax, and just play with the rest on the event day.


A Larong Pinoy company sports fest is both for young and old employees. Everyone who plays the game with their fellow- employees creates a feeling like they are childhood playmates (magkababata).  

Larong Pinoy  Sports Fest is a truly fun corporate-family bonding experience.  And the experience goes beyond the event as employees cherish the thoughts of the games through-out the year.



Treat your employees to a Fun Team-Building Sports Fest where everybody can play: Palarong Pilipino Mini-Olympics for young & old! A Sports Fest Team Bonding Activity can be held anytime of the year.  It doesn’t have to be summer. Build your corporate family into a CommuniTeam now.

Larong Pinoy Games As CSR Outreach Program




For many companies, it’s not enough to make money and satisfy customers. Service to local communities is also part of the company agenda, and they involve their employees in outreach programs. These companies often go the extra mile to give a little something back to their employees, the community, and the world at large. They’ve developed solid reputations for going out and doing some good, turning their success into an opportunity to help others.

For a long time, businesses have given back to society in different ways. The domain for such outreach was based more on concerns and thoughtfulness to help people.  For some companies, business isn’t all about the bottom line. They make strides to be a caring part of society and help out those who live in less fortunate circumstances. They’re companies that know how important Corporate Social Responsibility can be to others.

Chevron Philippines is one of the few examples of those doing Corporate Social Responsibility right. Every year, Chevron Philippines embarks in a program dubbed "Week of Caring, wherein employees of the company engage communities as volunteers. For the second time, the employee-volunteers of Chevron reached out once again the children of Nayon ng Kabataan (in Mandaluyong City), a youth welfare community operated by the Department of Social Welfare Development (DSWD).

During its Week of Caring program, Chevron employees went to Nayon ng Kabataan to play as “big brothers” to the children of Welfareville --- playing Larong Pinoy, the traditional Filipino Street Games.  As coach and playmates, they ran and vigorously played with the children: games like, patintero, luksong tinik, luksong baka, chinese garter, piko, and other Pinoy games.


The choice of Larong Pinoy as an activity aims to provide a light, fun interaction between the Chevron employees and the kids at Nayon ng Kabataan.  The organizers of the Chevron outreach program recognizes the power of Larong Pinoy as a strong vehicle for community engagement and interaction.  The traditional Filipino street games is a cultural treasure, well-loved by many Filipinos even today.  Many people are still unable to own high-tech game gadgets, computers, or smartphones with game applications; thus, Larong Pinoy is still a fun alternative among many of the children.


Having a social good culture makes your employees know they are working for something that is bigger than themselves; their business is not one dimensional and more importantly, it cares about people.  There are new breed of corporate individuals who believe that what you put into the world is exactly what you’re going to get out of it. People want to do things that matter; companies that encourage employees to participate in volunteerism and giving back are creating fulfilling environments to work in.

CSR to be meaningful has to reach out to the large majority of our people who are not only without purchasing power, but are fundamentally deprived of basic livelihood. There are companies stand out as prime examples of how social responsibility can be productively coupled with sound strategies to advance goodwill, while building sustainable and impressive businesses. They provide the leadership to demonstrate how marketers can pursue both objectives simultaneously. As such, socially conscious companies have stepped up their efforts with increasing effectiveness and productivity. It is an impressive movement and one that invites society at large to do even more.

Magna Kultura Foundation salutes Chevron Philippines for making Larong Pinoy their choice of activity for engaging communities.  The interaction between the employees of Chevron and children of Nayon ng Kabataan will last a lifetime of remembrance.

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.

The Traditional Filipino Street Games has become an effective instrument for bridging employee relationships.

Larong Pinoy Company Sports Fest for Filipino Corporations

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. 

Magna Kultura organizes traditional Filipinos street games like patintero, tumbang preso, piko, sipa, luksong tinik,and other street games like an Olympic competition.
