THE Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) will celebrate “World Kindness Day” with a special episode of the online “Rise Up Shape Up” series on Saturday.
“Sports may be competitive, but there is kindness always present,” PSC Commissioner Celia Kiram said. “This we see in players who picks up a fallen opponents or opposing teams cheering and congratulating each other after a tough match.”
“Outside of competitive games and playing fields, our athletes exercise kindness by giving back to their communities,” she said. “Sports build on good characteristics, including kindness.” Kiram will feature the history of “World Kindness Day” in her “K-Isport” segment.
