UPAAH PALAKASAN 2024

THREE TEAMS • SERIES OF EVENTS • ONE ULTIMATE WINNER

Instead of a traditional Sportsfest, Palakasan is a Wellness Program that will challenge you - all skill levels are welcome. 

We will have a series of events and games that will cater to different interests. This challenge is open to UPAAH members and their family and friends! 

Here's what you need to do:

1. Sign-up if you're interested to join. You will be assigned to a team.

• Team BAKULAW (Captain: Albert Jalalon)
• Team MANANANGGAL (Captain: Imelda Gasmen)
• Team TIKBALANG (Captain: Dennis Bondocoy)

2. Attend the pre-game challenges and you can collect individual and team points! Player and team with the most points will be awarded at Palakasan Championship Day on November 16.

3. If you're not interested to play, but would like to participate - you can always donate a prize! You can also always attend the events as we will need volunteer judges and marshals in case of disputes.
