I have chosen this topic Filipino Traditional, Native, and Folk Games as a subject in making a website because I wanted to show what kind of games the Filipinos play not just in the Philippines but also to other countries around the world. I wanted to share how these Filipino games played in the Philippine by explaining and telling how unique these Filipino games compared to other sports around the World. Another reason is to inform Filipino and foreign students in the world as a part of their education. I made this site in order to give information about the games which are discovered and developed in the Philippines and also to show how creative Filipinos in playing these unique games.
This site is called Filipino Traditional, Native, and Folk Games, because it is about Filipino games which are only played in the Philippines, it focuses on the games which are traditionally played, natively done and how these games originated in the Philippines. It talks about how these games played, originated and discovered in different culture and different parts the Philippines.
The main purpose/goal/objective of this site is to educate/inform the Filipino people especially the Filipino pupils/students and show how these games played as a part of their education in order for them to know they have unique games like these and make them proud out of it. Second is also to give or provide other people in other country that Filipinos are creative in playing their folk games and show to other people in the world that Filipinos have their own type of games and, lastly is to Express how the Filipinos love and enjoy playing games and at the same time to show the whole world that Filipinos are really creative in all aspects especially making their own kind of games.
The people who I wanted to be involved in this site are not only the pupils/students in the Philippines but also Filipino people so that they will be inform and get what they needed as a part of their knowledge, next is the people around the world so that They will be informed about the FILIPINO TRADITIONAL, NATIVE, and FOLK GAMES which are originated in different cultures in the Philippines.
The difference between the terms TRADITIONAL, NATIVE and FOLK Games is that, Traditional games are the Filipino games which are occasionally played in the Philippines, example of these occasions are when there are festivities happening and if there is wake for the dead. Native games are the Filipino games which are originated or inhabited ONLY in the Philippines, an example of this is palo sebo which came and culturally played in the Central Luzon of Philippines and Folk games are the Filipino games which are pre-Hispanic in the Philippines. Another term that is mentioned in this site is Cultural games, these games pertains to Filipino games that are artistically played ONLY in the Philippines.
