Physical Education's is important such makes it legally compulsory in most cultures, to develop character, promotes a healthy life style, sets a person up for a happy and productive youth life. 1987 Philippine Constitution The 1987 Constitution is the utmost symbol of Philippine statehood. It is the central institution in our political system. However, given the ignorance and indifference to our Constitution Day unraveled by my informal survey, it appears that the "democratic principles" and the "noble and lofty ideals" enshrined in this sublime document are not yet properly instilled in our hearts and minds. Of course, there are other more telling proofs which actually show that the constitutional spirit has yet to be infused in our political consciousness. Article 1 of the International Charter of Physical Education 1, Interdisciplinary Regional Meeting of Experts on Physical Education, UNESCO, Brisbane, Australia, 1982. States that: "The practice of Physical Education and Sports is Fundamental rights for all. And this right should not be treated as different in principle from the right to the adequate food, shelter and medical care. As stated in Article XIV, Section 19, 1987 Constitution of the Republic of the Philippines, provides; "The state shall promote Physical Education and encourage sports program, league competition, and amateur sports including training for international competition to foster self-discipline, teamwork and excellence for the development of a healthy and alert citizenry." "All educational institution shall undertake regular sport activities throughout the country and in cooperation with athletic club and other sectors." In the Filipino people develop a teaching system for Physical Education. And all public and private school used this teaching system to improve physical fitness, self-discipline, strengthened peer relationship, and improvement of self-esteem and confidence of a person. As stated in the legal provision, the State encourage the development of healthy communities as well as a healthy citizenry by promoting Physical Education which are manifested in different forms such as sports programs league completion in the provincial, regional and international arena. It is clearly stated that government in itself adheres to this kind endeavor. This kind of development can be well manifested and employed in Physical Education where in the citizens become aware of the benefits of indulging in Physical Education and Sports. As the saying goes "Healthy body makes a healthy mind and so it could reach out the communities as well in general and in proper perspective. It does not end only on that premises more so, a new endeavor has been well manifested in Presidential Decree No. 6 which states that one of the educational objectives of the Department of Education is to encourage educational practitioner to design, utilize and improve instructional technology and develop or produce textbook and other instructional materials leading to quality education. Basic Physical Education in College the services Physical Education refers to the four subjects given in the freshmen and sophomores in the first four semester of their college work as stipulated in the DECS Order No. 58, series of 1990.
