ORGANIZED BY

A FUN TEAM BONDING EVENT ACTIVITY WITH A FILIPINO TOUCH

LARONG PINOY MINI-OLYMPICS

The following presents a proposal for the

company to launch a Sports Fest that will

engage staff/employees in a team building

activity using Traditional Filipino Street

Games as platform.

Team building is more than just dragging employees to the usual basketball intramurals or having someone give them a lecture on why its important to work together. People learn best when theyre moving around, interacting, and working together on fun challenges. 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.

TEAM BUILDING DYNAMICS

PINOY OLYMPICS

Since the 1980s there have been many new ideas and

innovative games. Since Y2008, many companies have opted to

launch sports fest using the Traditional Filipino Street Games.

With Larong Pinoy, we make employees THINK FILIPINO.

A Larong Pinoy teambuilding will challenge employees & staff to re-learn the Filipino Street Games blended with team building values and activities in the office.

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. Its a game everybody knows. Its a game everyone can enjoy --- even the non-sporty type.

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.

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.

Playing at the Field

Larong Pinoy is definitely out-of-the-ordinary (than the usual basketball or track racing). Even non-players will have the fun of watching co-employees execute compete in the games.

Total team bonding, cooperation and fun-filled discipline will naturally flow amongst all participants.

Larong Pinoy will leave no physical hurt or emotional feelings (unlike rough sports like basketball), because its all child-like fun games and thrills that are so Pinoy.

The Larong Pinoy sports fest will 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 .

With Larong Pinoy

Everything Old Is New Again.

Adults re-discovered the fun of playing

Larong Pinoy during Company Sports Fests,

bonding with fellow-employees, and building

relationships like real kababatas --- and

breathing youthful energy in the organization.

It is a game everybody knows. It is a game that

anyone can play with a youthful spirit.

The experience reverberates within the organization even

weeks after the event ---- making each and every feel as if they

grew up and played with each other when they were young.

This is the spirit that games of our heritage

bring into an organization.

And a well-organized event even makes it more memorable.

LARONG PINOY SPORTSFEST

EVENTS CAN BE HELD IN OPEN FIELDS, OR COVERED COURTS. PARTICIPANTS CAN WEAR ANY ATTIRE THAT IS COMFORTABLE FOR PLAYING GAMES:

SPORTY OUTFIT OR JEANS, WITH RUBBER SHOES, SLIPPERS, OR EVEN ON FOOT.

Palarong Pinoy Mini-Olympics is a one-of-a-kind event activity that will surely be the talk-of-the-office ; everyone will re-live their childhood memories and discuss with fellow-employees.

Its one-of-a-kind. It breathes youthfulness among employees. It bonds the young and old.

Unlike the usual sports (like basketball or volleyball), with Larong Pinoy almost everyone could play; even non-players could cheerfully participate, actively cheering & jeering at the sidelines.

It takes less days and organizing expense than conducting a basketball tournament, considering that honoraria for basketball referees is P500.00 per game --- not to mention that there are two referees and two more table officials --- so officiating cost per game averages P2,000.00, excluding venue fee per hour --- multiplied by the number of games in Round Robin matches that could take many days (weeks) of games. Sometimes other employees dont attend games.

Larong Pinoy is the Game of our Heritage. A truly Filipino company can make a difference among their employees and in the business community

THE ADVANTAGES OF A LARONG PINOY SPORTSFEST

Outsourcing the Sports Fest for A Hassle-Free Company Event

Organizing a company event could be a tedious task for internal organizers. While it will be fun for employees playing in the event, it can be exhausting for the HRD and/or Sport fest Committee, robbing them of the fun that they to should be enjoying. Its all about CREATING IMPACT in the lives of employees and letting them feel the Value of the company they work for. The advantage of having a professionally organized corporate event are:

It takes away from employees the hassle of organizing and coordinating everything. It will let

the staff just do more productive work for the company while the event gets organized properly.

It ensures for a more professional conduct of an event with an Olympic-like atmosphere, letting employees partake in an event that is professionally organized.

The conduct of the program is more professional --- its like a real Olympics! And employees

would definitely feel like being a part of what seems like a big event. And every employee would credit the companys effort for giving them the best that they deserve.

Employees would see the difference of a professionally organized event: with all the tournament system and format; with the all the game marshals, materials and ground set-up.

The impact that it creates will surely be credited to the companys image of putting value in the corporate team bonding activity. Instead of having criticism for a poorly organized affair, it makes each and every employee value the presence of the company in their lives.

ITS AN EVENT THAT HAPPENS ONLY ONCE-A-YEAR. A WELL ORGANIZED COMPANY EVENT WILL GIVE MORE LASTING MEMORIES THAT WILL IMPACT COMPANY

LOYALTY OF EVERY EMPLOYEE. ITS ALL ABOUT GIVING THE STAFF & EMPLOYEES THE BREAK THAT THEY DESERVE.
