Also expected to attend is PSC Program Director Carlo Abarquez.
The Play and Learn event (formerly the Laro’t Saya sa Parke) is a park-based and family-oriented sports-for-all program designed as a national campaign to draw the Filipino family into playing and learning sports together.
It is aimed at developing the following: sport appreciation for 5-20 years old to play for fun, or to choose a sport to engage and specialize in.
The Filipino family is still the best agent for change – having an admirable traits and character, including the full development of a person take its roots from the family, the PSC said.
The engagement in sports emanates from the Filipino family’s support system for children to get into physical activities.
This sports-for-all campaign is making use of the significant family unit as springboard to the realization of the PSC’s mandate to engage the greatest number of people into sports and play.(HGD)
