Sports for Peace - Children's Games

Children's Games is a major component of the Philippine Sports Commission's sports for peace program. It catapulted the Philippine Government to be the first to implement such program that meets the UNESCO's theme's and objectives.

Taking on the challenge of President Rodrigo Duterte to make sports available to all, the Philippine Sports Commission chairman Mr. William "Butch" Ramirez revived what has been started in 2008.

"The children are our focus, they are the real gold and far more precious than the ones in Southeast Asian games or the Olympics. They are the future leaders and peacemakers of the country. When children play, humanity celebrates" Chairman William Ramirez quoted.
