Where BIDA Games 2025 Began: The First Brainstorm
On October 26, 2024, exactly six months before BIDA Games 2025, JCI Manila's committee met at the JCI Manila clubhouse to brainstorm what would become the organization's first inclusive sports event for children with disabilities in Muntinlupa City.
The early conversations, including a look at Muntinlupa itself as the host city, set the direction for everything that followed: a day of adaptive sports, community celebration, and belonging for differently-abled children across the city's eight barangays.
