The games we used to play
Staying true to its Filipino roots the organizers have also set up a station in the playground area where kids can play Sipa, a traditional game similar to hackysac in the playground. Among other games they can play are Chinese garter and Langit at Lupa (Heaven and Land), a game where an "it" or a team of players standing on the ground aim to tag players who stand on elevated areas.Nayong Pilipino was formerly located at the Manila International Road in Pasay. The park posed a threat to passing air crafts as it invited birds to nest in its grounds. The park grounds was eyed by local airport authorities to be converted into a new taxiway for NAIA terminal 3 which did not push through. It was eventually closed and opened in Clark Pampanga (next to the now defunct Philippine Expo Grounds.)
Visit Nayong Pilipino while Parkfest is ongoing today! There will be art tambays, arts and crafts merchandise you can shop, bikes you can ride courtesy of Bambike, apart from all the photo opportunities that await you.
Nayong Pilipino is located in the former Orchidarium in Rizal Park between Maria Orosa and Taft Avenue. Its closest landmark is the Lapu-Lapu statue and beside it is the Museum of the Filipino People. Entrance fee is Php 30.
