The team organized an Amazing Race for Hypertensives in order to encourage hypertensive individuals to engage in a physical activity that will test their knowledge regrading their disease whilst having fun. The activity was entitled “Tatakbo, Tatalon, Laban sa Altapresyon” last April 28, 2019 held at the Barangay Covered Court. The game was composed of five stations: Station A (Memory Game challenge) – to match the cards laid on the table while opening only two cards at a time; Station B (Free throw challenge) – every member must shoot the basketball at the free throw line; Station C (Steps challenge) – where a representative will play the traditional “piko/steps game”; Station D (Garlic Eating Challenge) – where every member has to eat a piece of garlic (they were provided juice after downing a piece of garlic); Station E (Word Jumble Challenge) – where the members were to form a word. The clue was a complication of their disease.
Every station, there is a question related to hypertension thrown to the players before they could do the challenge. After the last station a representative was required to shout at the microphone in front, the title of the activity as a proof that they already finish all five stations.
Every player enjoyed the mini games and challenges the team have prepared and the first team who accomplished the five stations was rewarded.
