Filipino kids once ruled the streets with games like Agawan Base and Tumbang Preso, but changing times have pushed these traditions aside, and Breeze EcoPlay wants to revive them along with their valuable life lessons.
Citing stains and the fear of mess as one of the reasons why kids are discouraged from playing, Breeze EcoPlay wants to change this mindset and encourages kids to embrace stains, recognizing that these are an essential part of their holistic development.
Breeze EcoPlay, a program initiated by Breeze in partnership with Knowledge Channel Foundation Inc. (KCFI), kicked off with the inaugural EcoPlay Olympics at the Marikina Sports Center on December 10, themed “Sige sa Mantsa, Tuloy ang Laro.”
The Marikina leg of the event saw 735 students from 17 schools come together to participate in traditional Filipino games such as tumbang preso, patintero and agawan-base.
This Palarong Pinoy event marked the nationwide effort to bring back these games, fostering valuable life lessons for today’s youth.
