ANTI-DOPING EDUCATION
EDUCATION PLAN
In compliance with the International Standards for Education, the PHI-NADO Anti-Doping Education (ADE) is the primary prevention strategy against doping as highlighted in the Code, through the preservation of the spirit of sport in the country.
A. PHI-NADO Goal for Education
The PHI-NADO ADE aims to promote and foster a collaborative and integrative anti-doping community of learners and leaders as models of best practice of Play True, Play Clean and Play Fair spirit of sport.
B. Anti-Doping Education Objectives
The PHI-NADO ADE aims to:
1. Provide relevant stakeholders with quality and relevant programs for clean, fair, and true sport.
2. Plan, implement, monitor, and evaluate programs in accordance with the international standards through values-based education, awareness raising, information provision and anti-doping education.
3. Develop an equitable and reliable system for producing a responsive, ethical, and dignified competitive sport in the country in compliance with the Code.
C. Program Outcomes
At the end of each module, stakeholders are expected to learn and demonstrate:
1. Values-Based Education through activities that promote the development of personal values, principles, and ethical behavior.
2. Awareness Raising through informative channels that convey foundational concepts and understanding of anti-doping rules, regulations, and activities.
3. Information Provision through the development of competency and knowledge in communicating and observing anti-doping rules, regulations, roles, and responsibilities.
4. Anti-Doping Education through integrated activities that develop an individual’s capacity for decision making towards anti-doping values and principles.
D. Core Values
In line with the Core Values of the Philippine Sports Commission and the Philippine Olympic and Paralympic Commission, Olympism and Sports Values, anti-doping education intends to develop, promote and strengthen the commitment of all stakeholders in fostering:
1. INTEGRITY: To practice honesty and consistent and uncompromising adherence to strong moral and ethical values and principles.
2. RESPECT: To practice due regard for the feelings, wishes, rights and traditions of sport and of others.
3. RESPONSIBILITY: To practice accountability and take opportunity to act independently and make decisions without authorization.
E. Education Plan
The PHI-NADO intends to collaborate with all signatories recognized by WADA and the Philippine sports community. As the lead authority for national sports in the country, collaboration with the Philippine Sports Commission and National Olympic and Paralympic Committees would involve the establishment of rules and regulations necessary for the complete and mandatory implementation of anti-doping activities, rules and regulations. This will strengthen and support the programs planned for anti-doping and help increase accountability and responsibility among stakeholders in upholding anti-doping rules and regulations. Setting forth an example from the Olympic level at a very timely occurrence, these committees will also be crucial in maintaining and assuring that our Olympic athletes adhere to the WADA code. With the recent Olympic standings, collaboration with these committees is a duty, especially with the implementation of education activities and programs. Collaboration with national sport associations will continue just as they have been in the previous years, with a more in-depth outcome and more proactive involvement. At the same time, PHI-NADO also intends to collaborate with authorities in charge of sports, games and education such as DEPED, CHED, GAB, athlete commissions, professional bodies for medical professions and sports science associations.
