and sports as an integral part of the Basic Education curriculum for
holistic development of the youth; (2) inculcate the spirit of
discipline, teamwork, excellence, fair play, solidarity, sportsmanship,
and other values inherent in sports; (3) promote and achieve peace by
means of sports; (4) widen the base for talent identification,
selection, recruitment, training and exposure of elementary pupils and
secondary students to serve as a feeder to the National Sports

development programs.
The legal basis of the Palarong Pambansa is stipulated in the
provision of the 1987 Philippine Constitution Article XIV, Section 19.
