I believe that the strength and progress of a nation depend upon the health, fitness, and productivity of its people.
I believe that sports and physical activity are vital components in developing a healthy, strong, and
productive citizenry.
I truly believe that a sports for all program that is relevant and responsive to the needs and interests of every
sector of society to include the indigenous peoples is the key to global peace, unity, wellness and people
empowerment.

Sports for All ProgramSports for All Program
As instrument in promoting wellness and people empowerment among
indigenous people.
The strength and progress of a nation depend upon the wellness and productivity
of its people. The promotion and development of a healthy, fit, and strong citizenry can be achieved by providing
opportunity for individuals to participate in wholesome, sports and physical activities
not only for the greater majority but including the cultural minorities.
A true sports for all concept is an inclusive program that does not discriminate others from the benefits of participation in sports and physical activity.
An effective sports for all program responds to the needs and interests of the people it serves including the needs and interests of indigenous people.
A culturally based sports for all program is the key in the promotion of wellness and people empowerment among indigenous people of Mindanao.
A culturally based sports for all program allows for the preservation and propagation of indigenous games and sports.
A culturally based sports for all program recognizes the uniqueness of the indigenous people and their culture and value their contributions to society.
To be inclusive, a sports for all program should make possible the integration of culturally rich physical activities, games and sports in its program of activities.
A culturally relevant and successful sports for all program requires the active participation and leadership of the indigenous people to promote not just wellness and recreation but most significantly empowerment.
