Amidst the trainings and seminars conducted by the DepEd, some 300 teachers from Quezon City, Manila, Caloocan, Malabon, Navotas, Valenzuela, Marikina, Pasig, Taguig, Mandaluyong and Las Pinas will give themselves a break by joining the parade and opening ceremonies of Palaro ng Ating 2015 from Quezon City Memorial Circle to Malabon National High School tomorrow. The event is an annual summer sports event for teachers which will be hosted by the city of Malabon this year.
TDC Chair Benjo Basas said the league’s main objectives are “to foster camaraderie among the teachers of Metro Manila through sports and to promote discipline and love for sports among the young people.” It also aims “to give the teachers a break from school routine this summer” especially that summer vacation which was also consumed in trainings and seminars is ending in two weeks.
The festival is now on its second year after a successful trial last year which was participated only by four cities of CAMANAVA. The organizers say that next year’s league is expected to be bigger with more events aside from basketball and volleyball. They will also decide which city will host the next year’s competition.
“The teachers are always in the forefront of sports events in the country, specifically Palarong Pambansa. We act as coaches and game officials and we supervise the entire vent, but we do not participate as players.” Said Gil Casenas, a teacher of Navotas City and the head of festival committee.
According to the organizers, the games would give teachers a time to relax and physically prepare themselves for the opening of classes on June 1. #
