THE Philippine Sports Commission is set to conduct a pre-recording of traditional sports and games of Indigenous Peoples set on October 8-12 in Sarangani Province.
The project is in line with the 2021 Quincentennial Commemorations in the Philippines and will feature eight traditional sports and games, among them blowdart, Kmisong (fire-making drill), Skuyah (track and field), javelin throw, and pana, among others.
Also part of the program is to highlight one traditional dance that is common among the Tagakaulo, T’boli, and B’laan Indigenous Cultural Communities (ICCs) to be held at the Municipality of Malungon.
“The activity aims to promote the traditional sports and games of the Sarangani IPs through a pre-recorded mini-documentary,” said PSC Commissioner Charles Raymond Maxey, oversight for the Indigenous Peoples Games program.
Maxey said the agency has secured permission from the Sarangani Provincial Tribal Council (PTC) to proceed with the documentation of the traditional sports and games.
