According to Robielyn Villamor, college student, Palarong Lahi<\/i><\/em>\u00a0should be extended from one to three days to include plenty of indoor and outdoor games enabling them to develop their cognitive and physical skills.<\/p>\n

\u201cMillenials are now aware that old games played before by their folks are more entertaining and physically challenging not like the online games which are easy to manipulate and can be cheated sometimes,\u201d expressed Ms. Vilma Romanillos, faculty member.<\/p>\n

Indeed, it was a successful event and students are looking forward to witness and experience next year\u2019s Palarong Lahi.<\/i><\/em><\/p>\n
