近代體育觀念發達之後，體育活動的項目不斷擴充，遊戲規則朝向 定制化發展，體育競技活動也逐漸受到歡迎。長久以來，國家人民的體 力與健康情形是評斷國力強盛與否的指標，透過舉辦國與國之間的體育 競賽，各國國力的強弱也可顯示出來。因此除了國際間定期舉辦奧運之 外，各區域、各國、甚至是各殖民地之間也經常舉行大小不等的體育競 技活動。1920年代臺灣與菲律賓間也基於提倡體育、技藝交流的宗旨， 於1929年至1941年間舉行「臺比交驩水上競技大會」。本文以此體育競 技為例，藉由分析該活動肇始之契機、過程、經費來源、參與人員等層 面以說明「臺比交驩水上競技大會」舉辦之經緯，並究明臺、菲兩地的 體育交流模式。「臺比交驩水上競技大會」除了具有提升臺、菲兩殖民 地體育實力的目的外，釐清日、美兩國關係的變化對兩國殖民地臺灣、 菲律賓的影響，以及日僑在菲律賓的發展歷程後，可說明「臺比交驩水 上競技大會」尚具有臺、菲親善交流的意義。此外，對積極促成臺菲體 育交流的臺灣總督府而言，「臺比交驩水上競技大會」則可視為南進政 策推動文化工作的一環。

Recent conceptual development in athletics entailed increases in the variety of sport activities, institutionalized rules of competition, and popularized athletic competition in general. Physical fitness and the state of health of a nation’s citizen body has been considered as major indicators when assessing national competitiveness. International competitions of athletic events are also indicative of the strengths of the countries involved. Internationally acclaimed athletic events such as the Olympics are therefore held periodically, while athletic events between regions, nations or even colonial polity counterparts are no less important in terms of their purpose of convening countries on the regional level. Taiwan and the Philippines had been colonized before, the first by Japan and latter by the United States. In order to promote the importance of athleticism and interchange in techniques, the two colonies founded the “Taiwan–Philippines Water Sports Friendship Tournament,” held between 1929 to1941. This thesis analyzes the tournament’s origin, development, finances, and associated personages and personal, in order to address the athletic interaction between Taiwan and the Philippines structurally. Furthermore, by studying how shifts in Japanese–U.S. relationship affects their respective colonies, and by unraveling the historical development of Japanese expatriates in the Philippines, this thesis argues that the tournament contributed substantially to the establishment of a cordial relationship between the two colonies, in addition to its original purpose of improving popular athleticism. Finally, considering the vigorous involvement of the Taiwan Governor–General Office, this thesis proposes that the tournament should be considered as an integral part of Japan’s cultural policy initiative “Southward Advance policy” during World War II.
