“BUHAYIN NATIN ANG LARONG LAHI, ITO ANG LARO NG MGA PINOY”

Palarong Pinoy para sa mga LINGKOD BAYAN NG BARANGAY was held at the Cityhall Grounds it was started at exactly 7:00AM of October 27, 2015.

     Larong Pinoy outreach programs promotes the game play mechanics of the popular traditional Filipino street games game like Agawan Biik, Sack Race (Karera ng Sako), Palo Sebo and Hampas Palayok. There are many benefits that play offers in the lives of Filipino people. It’s healthy as they become physically active; it’s also social, as they build strong camaraderie with their neighborhood friends. 

  We believe that once children learn to play these games it will build wholesome camaraderie among kids in the neighborhood, bring back the fun and enliven communities, at the same time create bonding among parents and grandparents about games they which they are familiar with Agawan Biik two teams competed for our first game (Agawang Biik).
