The term "Laro ng Lahi" (Filipino Indigenous Games) was coined and popularized by the Samahang Makasining (Artist Club), Inc. The word "Laro ng Lahi" was conceptualized by the group and it was the first act to research and preserve the Filipino indigenous games like (syato, patintero or harangantaga, taguan, dama, holen, tumbang preso and others). Traditional Filipino Games or Indigenous Games in the Philippines are games commonly played by children, usually using native materials or instruments. In the Philippines, due to limited resources of toys for Filipino children, they usually invent games without the need of anything but the players themselves. Their games' complexity arises from their flexibility to think and act. Mama: Anak, anjan na si Juan, niyaya ka niyang maglaro sa labas. Empoy: Mama, maari po ba? Mama: Oo naman, basta huwag ka lang magpapagabi. Empoy: Yehey! salamat po mama. Juan: Empoy.. Empoy.. tara laro tayo ng luksong tinik! Tita Mel: Naalala mo paba ang mga katagang ito nuong ika'y bata pa? Sigurado ako! Isa ka sa mga batang naglaro nito. Make a five sentence essay on the following questions given: 1.
