According to the study conducted by DOST-FNRI (2008), Filipino youth?s participation in sports activities have declined to 7%. With this issue at hand, the sports industry ? specifically the Philippine Sports Commission ? recognizes the vital role of media to continuously promote sports to the youth. Thus, the researcher utilized the capability of media by producing a promotional video for Palarong Pambansa 2019.
