The birth of the Philippine Sports Commission was championed in the 1987 Philippine Constitution declaring the importance of sports in forming a healthy and functioning citizenry. By the year 1990, massive developments in the international sporting world were already arising. In the country, it was the time to strengthen the national sports structure as President Corazon C. Aquino signed into law the creation of a new government sports agency with fortified and more relevant objectives.

On January 24, 1990, the Philippine Sports Commission came into being. PSC was created as the top government sports body by the virtue of Republic Act 6847 or “The Philippine Sports Commission Act”. Since its birth in 1990, it has grown into one of the country’s formidable institutions, ennobled by its salient mission of transforming the Filipino people into a healthy citizenry through various commendable sports development programs.
