Communities
in Metro-Manila re-experience the fun of the Traditional Filipino Street Games
during the Barangay outreach tour of the Larong Pinoy Sports Clinic conducted
by Magna Kultura Foundation, the national advocate of the Filipino Heritage
Games in the country.
Parents and
grandparents brought their children to the sports clinic to let their children
learn the games the same games they all used to play when they were young.
While many of
the new generations are familiar with the most popular of games, the Larong Sports Clinic added new knowledge
and techniques for children to play the game with an amateur playing skill.
Magna Kultura taught children the official
rules of playing the games, as well as the proper ways of making the ground
markers in the playing field.
Larong Pinoy Sports
Clinic are being held in urban cities teaching kids popular Filipino street games
like Patintero, Tumbang Preso, Piko, Luksong Tinik and many games that our
parents and elders use to play.
The fun
training sessions teaches participants detailed mechanics of each and every
game, the proper posture and movements, with systematic techniques on how to
play each game and win the match.
The 1st Part
is a 20-minute session teaching participants the game mechanics, with
systematic drills for proper execution, posture and movement.
The 2nd Part
is a 3 ½ half hours session where participants are grouped into teams and
conducted with actual game play; and, this time, orienting participants in the
tournament formats and officiating rules.
It's
fascinating to see the kids to execute each drill exercise, and giggling their
way through each and every task.
The first Larong Pinoy Sports Clinics were launched by Magna Kultura
Foundation in Y-2008 in Barangay Communities in Metro-Manila. The venues were
jam-packed with kids who enlisted.
The event did not need much hyping and announcement because when word went out around among the neighborhood about the Larong Pinoy Clinics, parents who knew the games signed-up they children in the sports activity.

Patuloy nating buhayin ang laro ng ating lahi sa panahon ng modernisasyon. Ito ay yaman n gating lahi. Ipamahagi natin ito sa bagong kabataan.
