Batang Bibo: Palarong Pinoy

First Philippine Industrial Park (FPIP) believes that the future of the world depends on how you hone those who will live in it, Palarong Pinoy branded as “Batang Bibo” is one of FPIP’s flagship Corporate Social Responsibility projects. It is aimed to reintroduce traditional Filipino sports and instill traditional Filipino values

Held annually, Batang Bibo is one of the most awaited events in FPIP’s host communities participated in by children aged 9 years old and below. Traditional games include sipa, luksong lubid, luksong tinik, patintero habulang sako, sundot hipon, kadang-kadang and many more. Through this activity, values such as teamwork, communication, unity, integrity, and sportsmanship are inculcated in the children.

Hands-On Tanauan, a youth organization of the park, was tasked to marshall and man all the various games under the supervision of FPIP’s Community Relations Officer Marco Antonio Amurao.

Other stakeholders like Sangguniang Barangay, Schools Administration, PTA, Barangay Health Workers and Sannguiang Kabataan showed their support by fielding volunteers and ensuring peace and order throughout the implementation phase.
