Special Olympics Pilipinas

“Ohana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten.”

It was truly a remarkable and heartfelt message from our Special Olympics Sargent Shriver International Global Messenger Alumna, Ms. Brina Kei Maxino, and her loving and proud father, Mr. Winston Maxino, Special Olympics Pilipinas Ambassador.

Thank you, Brina and Tito Wins, for sharing your journey, your advocacy, and your unwavering commitment to building a more unified community. Your stories touched hearts and inspired everyone to better understand and embrace the true meaning of inclusion.

Every student can help build schools where everyone is welcomed, respected, and empowered to participate. By speaking up, setting an example, and creating opportunities for connection, young people can lead meaningful change in their communities.

Meet our incredible Athlete Leaders, Kamille and Fourth, who brought energy, purpose, and unity to the National Training of Teachers! 🌟

More than serving as emcees and leading the energizers, they inspired participants by championing the power of unified education and meaningful leadership.

Thank you, Kamille and Fourth, for being passionate advocates of the Unified movement.

Behind every athlete is a family that believes, encourages, and celebrates every step forward.

When families become part of the team, they help create a stronger support system where athletes can grow in confidence, pursue their goals, and experience the joy of belonging.

The journey toward more unified schools begins here. Welcoming educators from across the country as we kick off the National Training of Teachers on Unified Sports!

Every movement starts with one bold step. Be the school that inspires others to make inclusion a reality.

Behind every successful Unified Sports training is a community that believes in unity. ✨

Our heartfelt thanks to our partners: MILO® for keeping our participants energized with refreshments, Fujitsu for its continued generous support, Merck Life Science Philippines for the free TSH testing and giving participants a fun photo booth experience, Globe for providing reliable internet connectivity, and Bounty Cares for its unwavering support for Special Olympics Pilipinas.

Thank you for making the National Training of Teachers on Unified Sports possible. Together, we're creating more opportunities for every learner. Mabuhay po kayo! 🙌

Confidence grows when learners know they are supported. One encouraging moment can inspire a lifetime of participation. 🎖

It has been two weeks since participants, facilitators, and partners gathered at Baguio Teachers Camp, Baguio City for the National Training of Teachers on Unified Sports.

As we reflect on this meaningful journey, let's look back on four days filled with learning, collaboration, and a shared commitment to creating more opportunities through unified sports.
