Filipino Corporations Discover Larong Pinoy Sports Fest



The Traditional Filipino Games are back in the mainstream of society.  At the turn of the century, the revival started in community-barangays and in schools.  

Today, Filipino corporations are getting into the game; energizing employees with games that they use to play in the childhood years.  

More and more Filipino corporations are organizing Palarong Pinoy sports fests. 


Over a thousand Filipino companies have held Larong Pinoy Corporate Mini-Olympic Events.  

Human Resource Managers have testified that a Larong Pinoy even is truly a one-of-kind activity that leave lasting impression on employees, and bring out the best in each and everyone.

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.  Iba ang Larong Pinoy.  Ito ang tunay na Laro nating mga Pinoy.

A Larong Pinoy  company sports fest is both for young and old employees, for male and female, and for everybody who’s every inch a Filipino.



Magna Kultura organizes the games like a real Olympics with Tournament Systems, Referees, Game Marshals. Employees are grouped into teams with team captains.  And competitions are conducted with matches on Patintero, Tumbang Preso, Jumping Rope, Sipang Bilangan, and various Pinoy Relay Races with timed heats & team scores tabulated.

But what makes it even great is that, everyone who plays the game with their fellow- employees gets the feeling like they are childhood playmates (magkababata).  

The activity becomes a unique team-bonding experience.  The experience goes beyond the event as employees cherish the thoughts of the games through-out the year.


To build a corporate family, let employees play like children.  Because employees work hard --- let them play hard!  A Sports Fest Team Bonding Activity can be held anytime of the year.  It doesn’t have to be summer.
 
 

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 Sports Fest Team Bonding Activity can be held anytime of the year because your employees work hard --- let them play!  And bond your company into a strong CommuniTeam.


Let Magna Kultura contribute to the corporate camaraderie of your employees through a Pinoy Games  activity.  We’ll  deliver a one-of-a-kind sportsfest event for your company.

Make Your Company Teambuilding Sportsfest A Larong Pinoy Mini-Olympics

Corporate Mini-Olympics Are More Fun With Larong Pinoy.  It's A Teambuilding Sports Fest Where Young And Old Employees Can Play.

IT'S FUN. IT'S CHALLENGING. AND IT BREATHES YOUTHFUL BONDING AMONG EMPLOYEES.


In the past, basketball and other ballgames are organized and only a few people to play --- mostly the younger employees. But now, both young and old employees play together with the Traditional Filipino street games in an exciting mini-Olympics format.  And company sports fests come alive. 

 
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".

Magna Kultura Foundation conducts the sports fest like a real Olympics event, which gives employees the grand feeling of being in a professional arena. 


The games are officiated by referees and marshals using the Official Tournament Rules instituted by Magna Kultura Foundation, the national advocate of the Filipino Games.


In organizing the company sports fest, Magna Kultura partners with the HRD and Sports Committee; internally making the event a team-building activity within the company.  Teams are formed with Team Captains, co-captains and even playing Coaches for each and every game.  Game manuals are provided by Magna Kultura, along with team line-up sheets and other vital tournament materials.


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.



As employees plan and practice the games, a team-building atmosphere is created inside the offices.   The employee bonding solidly permeates that, even if they don’t win on the day of the event, they become satisfied with the friendship they have built in the process.

Palarong Pinoy: Sports Fest Ng Mga Kumpanya sa Pilipinas



Ang pagpapalakas ng samahan ng mga empleyado sa opisina ay mahalaga sa bawat kumpanya. Kaya naman puspusan ang paghahanap ng Human Resource Department (HRD) ng mga Team-Building Activities na makapapahusay ng samahan sa opisina.

Maraming kumpanya ang madalas mag-Team Building. At kadalasan sila ay nag-a-outing sa beach, o di kaya'y nagsasagawa ng sports fest. At kapag may sports fest, kadalasan, ang ginagawa'y basketball, volleyball, badminton, o di kaya'y track and field games. Masaya, at maganda ang resulta, dahil nabibigyan ang mga empleyado ng panahon upang mag-relax at magsama-sama ng labas sa trabaho.

Taon-taon ay naghahanap ng mga pakulo ang mga Human Resource Department's (HRD) ng bawat kumpanya ng aktibidades na maaring ilunsad para sa mga empleyado. Kailangang maging masaya at kung maari'y kakaiba, dahil kapag paulit-ulit ay nagsasawa ang empleyado --- at minsa'y ayaw na ring dumalo.




LARONG PINOY, GINAWANG TEAM-BUILDING ACTIVITY


Noong taong 2009, may mga kumpanyang naka-diskubre ng "lumang" laro na matagal nang hindi nalalaro ng mga taong may edad --- ang Larong Pinoy! Naisip ng mga HRD na subukang magsagawa ng Sports Fest na gamit ang mga Larong Kalye para sa mga empleyado. Nadiskubre ng mga HRD ang pangkat ng Magna Kultura Foundation (isang NGO) na nagsasagawa ng mga Larong Pinoy bilang mini-Olympics, at ito ay sinubukan nila.

Sa pag-anunsyo ng HRD na Larong Pinoy ang susunod na Sports Fest ng kanilang kumpanya, nakita nila ang mga bata at matandang empleyado na nabuhay sa tuwa. Isang buwan pa bago maganap ang palaro ay excited na ang lahat; puno ng sigla ang mga empleyado, nagmi-meeting at parang mga batang nagpa-practice. Sa opisina pa lamang ay buhay-na-buhay ang pagba-bonding ng lahat.

Matagal nang naghahanap ang HRD ng ganitong klaseng pakulo --- ang makapaglunsad ng pakulo na makakapag-Team Building at makakapag-palaro na masaya. 

At kung "challenging" na laro ang hanap ng mga empleyado, matinding aksyon at hamon ang kaharap nila sa Palarong Pinoy. Bawat laro ay kasing husay at minsa'y higit pa kaysa mga Western Olympic games. Hindi basta-bastang pambata ang mga laro: kailangan ng liksi, talas ng isip at "strategy" para manalo. Ang ginagawa ng mga empleyado ay humihirang sila ng Team Captains at Team Coach. Parang tutoong tournament!

Marami nang Pinoy ang muling nadidiskubre ang Larong Pinoy --- patintero, tumbang preso, siyato, atbp.  Mula taong 2010 hanggang sa kasalukuyan, mahigit 500 nang lokal na kumpanya ang nagsasagawa ng company sports fest na Larong Pinoy ang tema. 

Piniling laruin ng empleyado ang mga larong kalye kapalit ng madalas nilang nilalarong basketbol, volleyball, at western sports. Mas marami ang nakakapaglaro! At kahit ang ibang taong hindi naglalaro (na nanunod lang) ay hagalpak sa tuwang nakikita ang kapuwa empleyadong naglalarong parang mga bata.

At maganda din ang nagiging epekto sa kumpanya Larong Pinoy Sports Fest: nagiging Team Building, na nakakapagpalakas ng bonding ng bawat empleyado. Gaya ng mga larong kalye nung kabataan nila, ang mga empleyadong nakapaglaro ng Larong Pinoy ay nagiging parang "magkababata" --- kaya't lumalakas ang samahan sa opisina. At yung mga empleyadong dating hindi magkakilala ay nagkakabati-an na rin matapos palaro.

Marami nang kumpanya na ang nabibigyan Magna Kultura Foundation ng Larong Pinoy. Marami sa kumpanya ang umuulit, lalo na ang mga bagong tatag na kumpanya, dahil sa maikling panahon naidudulot nito ang magkaroon ng matibay na pagsasama ang bawat empleyado. Kahit bagong kumpanya ay parang matagal na ang pagsasama ng lahat --parang "magkababata" ang bawat isa.


BUHAY NA BUHAY ANG MGA LARONG PINOY

Kahit sa panahon ng makabagong teknolohiya at modernisasyon, buhay-na-buhay ang mga larong Pinoy. Dahil marami pa ring di nakakabili bg mg high-tech na laruan at computer, nilalaro pa rin ito ng mga bata sa mga lungsod at probinsiya.  Kahit minsanang nagpupunta sila sa mga internet shop, matapos maubos ang bente o kuwarenta pesos na pang-computer, sa labas pa rin ang takbo ng mga bata para maki-paglaro sa kapit-bahay.

Ngayong malaki na ang mga dating kabataan, at nagtatrabaho na sila sa opisina; maganda’t nalalaro pa rin nila ang mga kilalang laro sa pagkabata.  Napapatiling buhay ang tradisyon at diwang makabayan. Iba na nga lang ang kanilang mga kalaro, at pare-pareho na silang may edad.  Pero nandoon pa rin ang saya ng paglalaro.

Kahanga-hanga ang mga empleyadong na nakaka-isip na magbalik-tanaw sa mga tradisyunal na laro, at ipamahaging muli ito sa kanilang mga ka-opisina bilang palaro sa kanilang kumpaniya. Di lamang nila binubuhay ang mga laro, kundi pinalalakas ang samahan ng bawat isa sa opisina na parang magkababata. Matapos ang palaro, lalong nagiging masaya ang bawat isa.
