Amidst the grey, wet morning, teaching and non-teaching personnel from the main and external campuses revived the traditional game “Laro ng Lahi” to jump-start the third day of the U- Week celebration at the campus ground last January 26.
Personnel from WVSU-main, Pototan, Janiuay, and Lambunao Campus participated in games of tiyakad, luksong lubid, sipa bilangan, piko, tumbang preso, patintero, luksong sako, and palo sebo. Participants enjoyed playing these traditional games that brought back childhood memories.
In addition, organizers modified the games to fit a one-day event with eight-game stations. Laro ng Lahi was opened to all WVSU personnel that can form a group of eight. To add fun, the teams that reached the last station must shout: “Ang Pahampang sa West: The Best! Basta Laro ng Lahi wala sang gina pili!”.
The College of PESCAR from the main campus facilitated the said event and they will announce the “Laro ng Lahi” winners on January 27.
