As a proud Filipino, I am deeply concerned that we are gradually forgetting our cultural heritage, particularly our traditional games known as "Laro ng Lahi". These games have been an integral part of our culture and history, teaching us values such as sportsmanship, camaraderie and respect for others. However, with the advent of technology and modernization, these traditional games are being overshadowed.

MAPEH (Music, Arts, Physical Education and Health) subjects in schools provide an excellent platform to reintroduce these games to the younger generation. Including "Laro ng Lahi" in the curriculum will not only preserve our cultural heritage but also promote physical activity among students.

According to a study by the Philippine Pediatric Society (2018), there is a rising trend of sedentary behavior among Filipino children due to increased screen time. Incorporating "Laro ng Lahi" into MAPEH subjects could help combat this issue by encouraging more physical activities while simultaneously instilling appreciation for our rich cultural heritage.

Let's not let our culture fade into oblivion. Let's bring back "Laro ng lahi" into classrooms. Sign this petition if you believe that preserving our traditional games is crucial for maintaining our national identity and promoting healthy lifestyles among young Filipinos.
