Started in 1948, the Palarong Pambansa Program is an annual multi-level national scholastic athletic competition conducted by the DepEd and participated in by elementary and secondary students from both public and private schools. It is the culmination of sports activities in Philippines schools, which start with local school intramurals, followed by the district, division, and regional athletic meets.
The objectives of the Palaro are: (1)to promote Physical Education and sports as an integral part of the Basic Education curriculum for holistic development of the youth; (2) inculcate the spirit of discipline, teamwork, excellence, fair play, solidarity, sportsmanship, and other values inherent in sports; (3) promote and achieve peace by means of sports; (4) widen the base for talent identification, selection, recruitment, training and exposure of elementary pupils and secondary students to serve as a feeder to the National Sports Association (NSA) for international competitions; and provide a database for a valid and universal basis to further improve the school sports development programs.
The legal basis of the Palarong Pambansa is stipulated in the provision of the 1987 Philippine Constitution Article XIV, Section 19.

History [edit]
The first game was held in Manila in 1948. Before it was called "Palarong Pambansa", it was dubbed as Bureau of Public Schools-Interscholastic Athletics Association Games or (BPISAA). Then it continuous yearly until it was cancelled in 1957 because of the death of President Ramon Magsaysay. In 1958, Tagbilaran, Bohol hosted the 10th edition of the game. The game was also cancelled in 1972 when President Ferdinand Marcos declared Martial Law in the Philippines. In 1973, it was the last BPISAA which was held in Vigan, Ilocos Sur.
In 1974, the Bureau of Public Schools-Interscholastic Athletics Association Games or (BPISAA) was renamed "Palarong Pambansa". And up to this day, it was still named as Palarong Pambansa.
Some uncertain events that led the cancellation of Palarong Pambansa happened. These were in the years of 1980, 1984-1987 and 1999 . Palarong Pambansa 1980 was cancelled because it was substituted by another game called Palarong Bagong Lipunan. While in 1984-1987, it was due to People Power Revolution.
Misamis Oriental and Negros Occidental hosted the most number of the Palarong Pambansa. The two provinces hosted the game four times. Misamis Oriental hosted Palarong Pambansa in 1975, 1977, 1978 and in 1988. While Negros Occidental hosted the game in years - 1974, 1979, 1998 and 2000. While Lingayen, Pangasinan hosted three times in years - 1959, 1999 and 2012.[1]
Participating Regions [edit]
Regions participating in the annual Palarong Pambansa became bigger in numbers as some regions were split and became another region. For instance, Southern Tagalog Regional Athletics Association or STRAA represented the ten (10) provinces of Southern Tagalog in the later Palarong Pambansa. But it was divided into two which is now Region 4-A or the CALABARZON region and Region 4-B or the MIMAROPA region. Both regions are taking part in Palarong Pambansa as different teams or regions.
Creation of administrative and autonomous regions such as Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao and Cordillera Administrative Region and splitting of big region into new regions like the Southern Mindanao causes more teams. All these reasons made the seventeen (17) regions participating in Palarong Pambansa.
