THE Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) will launch a nationwide exercise campaign dubbed the Zumbarangay Pilipinas with an original Filipino workout song “Igalaw Galaw Ating Katawan” on Saturday
“Once we get motivated to move our bodies, exercising can make a big difference—it changes our mood,” PSC Chairman William “Butch” Ramirez said.
Ramirez said the PSC aims to emphasize the importance of physical fitness, especially during the pandemic. The Zumbarangay Pilipinas project is a solo dance done either at home or in an open space.
Participants have to record their original dance exercise moves, form and style to the beat of “Igalaw Galaw Ating Katawan” and upload to the PSC’s website psc.gov.ph or its social media accounts.
“Workout music has a therapeutic ability to treat physical, psychological, emotional, and mental issues such as depression and anxiety,” said PSC Commissioner Celia Kiram, organizer of the event under the sports agency’s “Women in Sports” program.
“This contest is PSC’s campaign to raise awareness on the value of solo dance fitness workouts,” Kiram said. “We designed this to provide a recreational activity for women and girls given the alarming increase in the number of cases whose well-being has been negatively affected by the pandemic.”
