Girls Open winners of the Zumbarangay Pilipina: Solo Exercise On-Cam Challenge 2021

Philippine Sports Commission chairman William Ramirez prides that Zumbarangay Pilipinas was launched by the PSC Women in Sports mid 2021 to avert the increasing number of women having physical, emotional and mental health issues.

A nationwide campaign to promote solo exercising, Zumbarangay Pilipinas received over 300 video entries from all over the Philippines. Several qualifying rounds were made to select the best winners.

PSC Commissioner for Women in Sports said that the contest which was open to women, girls and LGBTQI encourages regular solo dancing at home.

The PSC produced an original music “Igalaw-galaw ating Katawan” for the public to use.

A local artist from Laguna, Jian Aguilan, was tapped to write the lyrics and make the beat of the exercise music.

“The lyrics of the song itself is our campaign for the public to start fitness at home,” said Kiram.

The song goes: Galaw galaw tayo na’t mag-ehersisyo, hindi lang tayo dapat ay nakaupo, lalo na sa ating mga anak, physical activity di puro gadget ang hawak; kay ate kay nanay pati na kay lola, igalaw ang katawan para sumigla; sa mga kababaihan dapat na saluduhan, ginagawa nila, para sating lipunan. Si nanay flexible sa tahanan, lahat ng gawain ginagampanan, nananatili naring haligi sila sa kanilang mga anak. Talagang bilib sa kanila, bayaning maituturing sila ay modelo ng bawat kabataan; Sila’y nirerespeto, kababaihan sila’y iangat maganda silang ehemplo para sa ating lahat.

“At the height of pandemic mid this year, we cannot afford to just sit down and watch the rising concerns about the mental health of a generation of children caused by the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Production Director and Women in Sports Consultant Marilou Cantancio.

“With powerful emotions like anxiety, uncertainty, grief and loneliness affecting the lives of our children, we need to be creative in ways to drastically get them moving through dancing,” she added.

A cash prize of P30,000 is given to the 1st placer, P20,000 for the 2nd placer, and P10,000 for the 3rd placer. A consolation prize of P3,000 is given to each of the top 10 entries for each category.
