legal bases of P.E &


course description

Prepared by: MS. JUCEL A. JALUAGUE


Why P.E part of the
school curriculum?
PE plays a unique role as the only subject in the
curriculum that requires participation in physical
activities. Since modern society has effectively
engineered moderate-to-vigorous physical activities
out of most workplaces, our homes, community
and even in our recreational pursuits, the school
ought to be the last institution to resist this.

Indeed, the greatest resource of a nation is its citizens.


Based on the World Health Organization’s
report (2010), physical inactivity is the fourth
leading risk factor for global mortality. It has been
shown that regular participation in physical
activities reduces the risk of diseases brought
about by sedentary lifestyle.
Lack of physical activities has major
implications for the general health of people
worldwide and the prevalence of non-
communicable diseases such as heart
disease, diabetes, cancer and even
depression.
A. LEGAL BASES OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION

Article XIV, section 19, 1987 Constitution of the Republic of the


Philippines”

encourage sports programs, league competitions, and
amateur sports including training for international competition
to foster self-discipline, teamwork and excellence for the
development of a healthily and alert citizenry.”
“All educational institutions shall undertake regular sports
activities throughout the country and in cooperation with
athletic club and other sectors.”
Tulio (2008) stated that “The practice of Physical
Education and Sports is a fundamental right to all
and should not be treated as different in principle
from the right to adequate food, shelter and
medical care.”
The Physical Education Curriculum is
anchored on the tenet “Move to Learn,
Learn to Move” with the ultimate goal of
living an active lifestyle for lifelong fitness and
wellness.
