Western Philippines University has officially launched FriPlay: Free Play Every Friday, a new wellness initiative encouraging all faculty, staff, and students to stay active and embrace a healthy lifestyle.

The program is in line with the Civil Service Commission’s Memorandum Circular No. 38, s. 1992, also known as The Great Filipino Workout, and its reiteration under CSC Memorandum Circular No. 8, s. 2011. FriPlay aims to promote physical fitness and overall well-being across all WPU campuses by providing access to sports venues and facilities every Friday from 4:00 to 8:00 PM.

Faculty and staff are likewise encouraged to dedicate the last hour of their official time each Friday to participate in physical activities within their campuses. Offices and academic units are advised to adopt flexible schedules to ensure that regular operations and classes remain unaffected.

Through this initiative, WPU fosters a balanced and active community that values both productivity and wellness. As the memorandum proudly concludes—“Thank God it’s FriPlay!”
