WHEREAS, with the popularization of electronic media like televisions, and computers, kids spent more hours watching tv and playing games than talking to parents, reading books & studying which turn them into passive thinkers that hampers child development;

WHEREAS, Anak TV, an organization owned and run by all tv stations in the country is looking for partner cities to launch the pilot LAROLYMPICS, an inter barangay and inter school intramurals of well-loved children’s game like tumbang preso, piko and patintero.

WHEREAS, LAROLYMPICS aims to repopularize children’s street games in an effort to invigorate this waning aspect of folk culture; to provide more pastime for the children outside of sedentary activities and breed a more healthy generation of children;

WHEREAS, children ages 7 to 15 years old will compete in amity games which will be organized by the Local Government through the City Social Welfare and Development Office and the Sangguniang Kabataan and winners will compete for national level on July 2009;
