• Traditional Filipino games or indigenous games in
the Philippines (Tagalog: Laro ng Lahi) are games

children usually invent games without needing
anything but players.

HISTORY OF
PHYSICAL EDUCATION
IN THE PHILIPPINES

The Pre-Spanish Period
The Spanish Regime
American Period

Education in the Philippines was informal and
unstructured, without any fixed methodology.
Children were usually taught by their parents and
tribal tutors and education was geared more
towards skills development.

The Aborigines of the
Philippines, the Negritos or Aetas,
had a way of life the same or
similar to any other people living
in a primitive society. They were
nomadic or wandering tribes who
lived mainly by hunting with an
expert use of the bow and arrow.

The Indonesians and the
Malays. Those who arrive
earlier were driven to the
hinterlands, while the later
waves of immigrants settled
along the coast or in the
lowlands.

Indonesian and Malays
Their physical activities
consisted of producing
foods through planting and
cultivating the mountain
sides until they produced
the famous Banawe rice
terraces.

Pagan people as they were, they worshipped their gods
and goddesses and made offerings to the anitos or spirits.
Dancing was a form of religious activity and they
danced to please their gods. They also dance to cure the
sick, to make things happen as when there was drought
and they wanted rain, and they also danced after a
bountiful harvest. They danced for a victory in a tribal
war which they termed as “cañao.”

The people in the lowlands especially those who
settled along the river banks and lake had bathing and
swimming as their favorite pastime.
Father Pedro Chirino, a Spanish historian, relates in his
Relacion de las Islas Filipinas that “men and women
and even children swim like fishes. They take a bath in
the rivers and lakes at any time of the day for
cleanliness or for recreation.”
Cockfighting is an ancient
sport in the Philippines.
Antonio Pigafetta, the
chronicler of Magellan’s
expedition, mentions it as
one of the notable sights
he saw in the island of
Palawan.

Historians believe that

this sport is probable to
have been introduced by
the Malays as early as A.D
1212 during the rule of
Datu Sumakwel of the
island of Panay.
Cockfighting was still the

favorite sports of the
Filipinos.
