“Larong Pinoy: Synergy of the Mind and Body through Traditional Filipino Games”

I. RATIONALE:

Gone are the days where the youth are interested in social activities that are
beneficial to their mental and physical health. The Ilonggo youth today would be usually
involved in: (1) prolonged use of gadgets and video games, and (2) smoking and vaping.

As to prolonged use of gadgets and video games, depression is one of the most
common comorbidities that users have, according to Gonzalez-Bueso et al. from 2018. In
fact, eighty-nine percent (89%) of gamers are also diagnosed with depression in addition to
video game addiction. Moreover, aside from its effects mentally, it eventually vitiates
physical health. Filipino Mobile Legends player-turned-coach Ivan “Navi” Gacho died on
April 24 of fatal arrhythmia or irregular heartbeat as result of his irregular sleeping pattern
and insufficient food intake.

On the other hand, as to smoking and vaping, ICAST head Iñigo Garingalao
announced on Nov. 21, 2022 that vaping propagates and does not help one to gradually stop
smoking. He also emphasized that vaping has been a fad mostly among the youth eighteen
(18) to twenty-eight (28) years old.

In line with the Mental Health Program of the Iloilo City Government in partnership
with City Disaster Risk Reduction Management Office (CDRMMO) and in celebration of the
World No Tobacco Day in partnership with the Iloilo City Anti-Smoking Task Force (ICAST),
the Sanggunian Kabataan will be spearheading an activity to eradicate the interest of the
youth to smoking and other activities detrimental to their mental and physical health by
spreading awareness of the effects of vaping and by reviving their interest in traditional
filipino games.

II. OBJECTIVES:
