A SPORTS FEST FOR FILIPINO COMPANIES

Team building is more than just dragging employees to the usual basketball intramurals or having a V.I.P. speaker give them a lecture on “employee camaraderie”.  Play can be a good tool for learning, people learn best when they’re moving around and inter-act together on fun challenges.

 
Since the 1980’s there have been many new sports and innovative games — Triathlon, Xtreme Sports, Cross Games, Fun Runs, and other.

Today, many companies have opted to launch sports fest using the Filipino Street Games as platform for team-building sports fests.  It’s a game everybody knows.  It’s a game everyone can enjoy — even the non-sporty type.

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.

  

   

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.

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.  With Larong Pinoy, employees not only “THINK FILIPINO”, but become more like ‘childhood playmates’.

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.

Larong Pinoy Sports Fests are executed like a real Olympics events --- with professional officiating & tournament system with an Olympic sports music scoring ambience. Employees are 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.

A WELL ORGANIZED TOURNAMENT 

From planning to implementation, Magna Kultura executes everything with a Tournament Systems & Procedures manual, with Referees & 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 the 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.  The experience goes beyond the event as employees cherish the thoughts of the games through-out the year.

Try Organizing Palarong Pinoy Mini-Olympics

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 .
