REPUBLIC ACT NO. 7722 ; otherwise known as the “HIGHER

EDUCATION ACT OF 1994”

that the state shall promote physical education and encourage
sports programs, league competitions, and amateur sports,
including training for international competitions, to foster self-
discipline, team work, and excellence for the development of
healthy and alert citizenry.
 TRADITIONAL (FOLK AND ETHNIC) DANCE

The performance of ceremonial acts prescribed by

tradition or by sacerdotal decree. Ritual is a specific,
observable mode of behaviour exhibited by all known
societies. It is thus possible to view ritual as a way of
defining or describing humans.

Rites and dances are still being performed because they

serve the belief and social systems of the ethic Filipinos.
