Study Notes

Traditional Filipino Games (Laro ng Lahi)

  • Filipino games, called "Laro ng Lahi," vary by location and have evolved from primitive forms. These ancient games share similarities with modern sports like the Javelin Throw.

  • The Bureau of Physical Education and School Sports (BPESS) promotes appreciation of traditional games.

  • Many games were played without formal equipment due to limited resources. The physical and creative aspects of these games made them engaging.

History of Modern Philippine Games

  • Basketball was invented by Dr. James Naismith in 1891 at the YMCA in Springfield, Massachusetts.
  • Volleyball was invented by William G. Morgan in 1895 at the YMCA in Massachusetts as a less intense alternative to basketball.

Modern Traditional Filipino Street Games

  • Street games like Piko, Patintero, Tumbang Preso, Sipa, and Sungka were popular, but their prevalence has reduced due to modern technology and safety concerns.

Tumbang Preso

  • Objective: Hitting a milk can with a pamato and knocking it out of a small circle. The person who knocks down the can is designated as IT.

  • Procedure: A chosen person (IT) guards the can. Others line up, and the one whose pamato is furthest from the toe-line is IT. If the can is knocked down but remains standing, the attacker can be tagged.

  • Equipment: Empty milk can, slipper or flat stone (pamato).

Patintero

  • Objective: To cross lines without being tagged by the opposing team.
  • Procedure: Two teams (passers and line guards). Passers try to cross lines from the starting point and back within two minutes. Line guards try to tag the passers. A tag results in a change of positions.
  • Equipment: Chalk (or paint) to mark the court; scoreboard, whistle, stopwatch, powder.

Sipa

  • Objective: To kick a sipa (washer with colorful threads) as many times as possible without letting it touch the ground.
  • Procedure: Players kick the sipa. The player with the most kicks wins.

Sungka

  • Objective: To collect as many sigay (pebbles/seeds) as possible in one's own large bowl.
  • Procedure: Players are pitted against each other, filling their smaller bowls with sigay. Whoever accumulates the most sigay in their big bowl wins.
  • Equipment: Sungka board, sigay.

Piko

  • Objective: To earn "homes" within a hopscotch-like marked area by successfully throwing a pamato and navigating the marked area.
  • Procedure: Players throw their pamato(flat stone, etc,) . Whoever throws their pamato closest to the line gets to play first. Hops and skips are the only allowed movements.
  • Equipment: Designated playing court marked on the ground with chalk, or masking tape, a pamato.

Palo-Sebo

  • Objective: To climb a greased bamboo pole and retrieve a prize bag at the top.
  • Procedure: A greased pole with a prize bag is set up. Players individually try to climb, with only one attempt allowed.
