The nation's Executive Order No. 81 series of 1999 then integrated BPESS into the
Philippine Sports Commission, which has since assumed BPESS's departmental roles.

Before the foundation of either BPESS or PSC, the development of physical education in the
Philippines was conducted by one of three staff bureaus within its Department of Education,
Culture, and Sports. Referred to as DECS, the department began as the Ministry of
Education, Culture, and Sports under the country's Education Act of 1982. Sports
organizations in the early 20th century were cultivated alongside educational programs that
were simultaneously sponsored by the government, including the Philippine Amateur Athletic
Federation and the Department of Public Instruction.

function with the Department of Education through collaborating in nationally accredited
physical education programs. The Department of Education and the Philippine Sports
