PSC Gender and Development Indigenous Games lalarga na
MANILA, Philippines - Idaraos ng Philippine Sports Commission ang unang Gender and Development Indigenous Games sa Lagawi, Ifugao simula ngayong araw sa Provincial Capitol Plaza.
Umabot sa 450 ang nagkumpirmang sumali kabilang na sa boys at girls events mula sa anim na elementary at walong secondary schools sa buong probinsya ng Ifugao.
“This event is a prelude of holding a bigger Indigenous Games throughout the Cordillera region,” sabi ni PSC commissioner Celia Kiram na siyang oversight head ng PSC’s grassroots sports development para sa Northern Luzon at Women in Sports programs.
Ang mga larong pagtutuunan sa dalawang araw na paligsahan ay ang “guyyudan” o tug-of-war para sa elementary boys at high school boys at girls divisions. Ang iba pang indigenous sports ay ang “hinnukting,” na parang native wrestling at “battawel” relay.
“Holding this competition in cooperation with the Ifugao provincial and Lagawe municipal government is in keeping with the PSC’s ‘Sports for All’ mandate because we are also trying to promote the awareness of traditional games throughout the country,” ayon naman kay PSC commissioner Charles Maxey na siya namang nangangasiwa sa PSC ethnic sports program.
