It determines the challenges encounter, the extent of alignment of the state university OBE Curriculum in PE courses, process of integrating the key competencies into the aligned curriculum program design.The researchers utilized descriptive-developmental research design and purposive sampling in choosing participants. They were involved in the needs analysis and strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) analysis. The content analysis was the primary source of data about the existing and related documents of physical education program and CMO 39, s.2021. It also employed face to face focus group discussion with the PE teachers and an interview guide for SWOT analysis and Needs analysis. The interview guide was underwent content analysis with the three field expert and pilot testing to secure that the questionnaire is valid and reliable. The data revealed that the participants acknowledged CMO 39's legitimacy and applicability based on the legal requirements. However, they point out implementation flaws, including a lack of knowledge, a lack of benefits for active participation, a limited scope, and a need for more personnel and resources. They stressed the need for workshops and training to improve comprehension, especially with regard to Physical Activities Towards Health and Fitness (PATHFIT). Moreover, the university demonstrate that the curriculum program for PATHFIT is closely aligned with the requirements of CMO 39. The foundation of a successful educational experience is the alignment of targeted learning outcomes with key competencies.
