For about a century, many people have been confused about the term physical education,
and are not exactly sure about the term and what physical education teachers do. Even
college students, who have chosen physical education as their major field shared this
confusion. Despite this confusion, physical education has been accepted as part of the
curriculum in all schools. What is important is that physical education is one subject that
is well –taught and well-accepted. Within the past decades, dramatic changes have
occurred in the field of physical education and sport. Contemporary physical education
and sport has expanded to include persons of all ages and abilities. Involvement in
carefully designed programs can enhance the health and quality of life of the participant.
SECTION 1. The state shall promote physical education and encourage sports programs, league
competitions and amateur sports including the training for international competitions to foster self-
discipline team work & excellence for the development of healthy and alert citizenry.
SECTION 2. All educational institutions shall undertake regular sports activities throughout the
country in cooperation with athletic clubs and other sectors.
ARTICLE II - SECTION 3. Integrated Purposes of the General, Higher and Physical Education
One of the goals of general education as articulated by the Commission on Higher Education is “to help
improve the Filipino quality of life”. This succinctly expresses the aspiration of the Tertiary Physical Education
Program. PE, more than any other subject in the curriculum, is much more direct. It is a subject that is directly
applicable and relevant to a learner's life in school, out of school and even beyond school. Through PE, the
learner can be more disciplined because the activities and tasks demand physical effort. When the learner
independently engages in physical activities because he understands the benefits of caring for and nurturing
one's health. he gains self-mastery. This self-mastery which s accompanied by self-confidence enables the
learner to become more socially involved. This is not to say that individuals who are incapable of exercise or

physical activities are deprived of living a full life, rather, those who are physically fit and healthy are more
disposed to living a life of service for others.
PE, in recognizing this fundamental humanity of all, serves therefore as an important scaffold to the goal of
producing "graduates imbued with values reflective of a humanist orientation, [who are equipped to] think
through the ethical and social implications of a given course of action and are competent learn continuously
throughout life. Thus, the Filipino learner who is fully cognizant of his role in the life of the nation and the
larger community will be able to live meaningfully in a complex, rapidly changing and globalized world by
actively engaging himself in his community and the nation's development issues and concerns.
1) Active and Healthy Living. This outcome is achieved through the adaptation of movement competencies
to physical activity pursuits. Movement competency and confidence allows the learner to engage in a variety
of moderate-to-vigorous physical activities resulting in improvements in one's fitness levels as well as
optimizing health by way of reducing health risk factors (i.e., physical inactivity, sedentary behaviors, stress).
As part of healthy living, food and beverage consumption patterns are periodically evaluated based on dietary
recommendations for the purpose of building healthy eating habits.
2) Advocacy and Action. At the individual level, this outcome is achieved through periodic evaluation of the
learner's (a) physical activity levels, (b) fitness levels, and (c) dietary/eating patterns. Such evaluation is
aimed at enhancing awareness and personal responsibility for making healthy choices (i.e., taking action).
At the school and/or community level, the learner is provided with and/or seeks opportunities for participation
in and/or lead (e.g. organize) physical activity-related events (e.g. intramurals, PA- based clubs, fitness and
wellness activities, etc.). These opportunities advocacy)
