The Philippine Sports Commission (PSC), through the office of Commissioner Charles Raymond Maxey, continued its effort to preserve the traditional sports in the Philippines with the staging of the Indigenous Peoples (IP) Games on Friday in Tublay, Benguet.

However, the traditional sports and games were not actually played and competed by the various tribes. This time, the event was recorded for documentation in the spirit of preservation, promotion and propagation of the local culture.
