LARONG LAHI

Patintero is derived from Spanish word tinte ("tint" or "ink") in reference to the drawn lines.
Another name for it is tubigan, tubiganay, or tubig-tubig ("water [game]"), due to the fact that the
grid lines are also commonly drawn by wetting the ground with water. It is also known
as harangang-taga or harang-taga (lit. "block and catch"), referring to the game mechanics.
Patintero is played on a rectangular grid drawn into the ground. The rectangle is usually 5 to
6 m (16 to 20 ft) in length, and 4 m (13 ft) wide. It is subdivided into four to six equal parts by
drawing a central lengthwise line and then one or two crosswise lines. The size of the rectangle
and the number of subdivisions can be adjusted based on the number of players. The individual
squares in the grid must be large enough that someone can stay in the middle out of reach of
someone standing on the lines.
Two teams are needed, each with around two to six players. One team acts as the taggers, the
other acts as the runners. This is usually decided by a game of rock–paper–scissors (jak-en-
poy) or a coin toss.
The object of the game is to cross the rectangle back and forth without getting tagged. One
tagger is usually assigned per crosswise line. Taggers can only move along their respective
lines, with the exception of the tagger on the first line who is regarded as the team leader
(patotot). Unlike the other taggers, the patotot can also move along the central lengthwise line.
[3]
 Taggers can tag runners at any time, including those already past them, but both of their feet
must always be on the lines. Tagging a runner when none or only one foot is contacting the line
is not counted.

Luksong baka (English: Jump over the Cow) is a traditional Filipino game that originated


from Bulacan. It involves a minimum of 3 players and a maximum of 10 players and involves
them jumping over the person called the baka, the main goal of the players is to successfully
jump over the baka without touching or falling over the baka.
At the start of the game, there should be one player that should be called taya (it), or in this
game the bakang lala (cow). The players should avoid or falling over the baka player while
jumping over. The baka player should start with a kneeling-down position (a baka player bends
over with their hands placed on his knees). All players are to jump over the baka until all the
players have jumped. Once the first set of jumping over the baka is done, the baka player's
position will slowly rise-up after jumping over the baka player. Only the hands of the jumper may
touch the back of the person who is bent over. If a player fails to avoid contact or fall over
the baka, they will replace the baka player with a kneeling position (step 3), and the game
continues until the all players decide to end the game.
Ang taguan o tagu-taguan ay isang sikat na larong pambata kung saan nilalaro ng dalawa o
higit pa na manlalaro na nagtatago sa paligid upang hanapin ng isa o higit pa na taya.
Nagsisimula ang laro kapag may naitakda na taya at ang taya ay pipikit at bibilang
hanggang tatlo o kahit anumang bilang habang magtatago naman ang mga hindi taya.
Pagkatapos bumilang ang taya, sasabihan niya na handa na siyang maghanap at susubukang
hanapin ang mga nakatagong manlalaro. Halimbawa ang larong ito ng isang tradisyong
pasalita na karaniwang naipapasa sa pamamagitan ng mga bata. At pag nahanap niya na ang
unang nagtago ay yun naman ang taya
Sa Pilipinas, isang tradisyunal na laro ang tagu-taguan na nilalaro sa labas ng bahay at
karaniwan tuwing dapit-hapon o gabi lalo na kung maliwanag ang buwan. Sa bersyong Pilipino,
pumipili ang mga manlalaro ng base kung saan dito tatakpan ng taya ang kanyang mata sa
pamamagitan ng kanyang braso at kapag nakatakip na ang mata, ang taya ay kadalasang
umaawit[5] imbis na sabihin ang "handa man kayo o hindi, nandito na ako!" May iba't ibang titik
ng awit at ilan sa mga ito ang sumusunod:

1."Tagu-taguan, maliwanag ang buwan, masarap maglaro sa dilim-diliman..."

2."Tagu-taguan maliwanag ang buwan. Wala sa likod, wala sa harap. Pagbilang ng sampu,
nakatago na kayo. Isa, dalawa, tatlo, apat, lima, anim, pito, walo, siyam, sampu!"
Tumbang preso ("knock down the prisoner"), also known as tumba lata ("knock down the
can") or bato lata ("hit the can [with a stone]"), is a traditional Filipino children's game. It is
usually played in backyards, parks, or in streets when there is little traffic in an area.
The equipment needed is an empty milk can or any kind of can or bottle, and a slipper or a
piece of flat stone as a pamato for each player. To make the game enjoyable and exciting, there
should be no more than nine players. One player or the "tayà" ( the "It") guards the milk can
while the others stay behind the toe-line with their pamatose. The objective is for the players to
hit and knock down the milk can with the pamato, and for the It to put back the can inside a
small circle a few meters away from the toe-line. When a player is tagged while recovering
their pamato, they become the It.
Sungka is a Philippine mancala game, which is now also played wherever Philippine migrants
are living; e.g. in Macau, Taiwan, Germany, and the USA. Like the closely related Congkak it is
traditionally a women's game.
Sungka was first described by the Jesuit priest Father José Sanchez in his dictionary of the
Bisaya language (=Cebuano) in 1692 [manuscript] as Kunggit. Father José Sanchez who had
arrived on the Philippines in 1643 wrote that at the game was played with seashells on a
wooden, boat-like board. The Aklanon people still call the game Kunggit. José Sanchez (born
Josef Zanzini [*1616-1692) in Trieste, Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation) is known for
founding the town of Jagna on Bohol, which is today famous for its rich historical heritage.
There are Sungka tournaments in the Philippines, Taiwan, Australia, Austria, England and the
USA. The biggest competition is held each year at the Kadayawan Sports Festival in Davao. In
May 2006, the Philippine Empassy compound in Pretoria, South Africa, hosted a Sungka
tournament during the ASEAN Games and Sports, which was held under the auspices of
ASEAN Embassies based in South Africa. The six winners for the first Sungka game
competition were participants from the following embassies: Vietnam, 1st; Malaysia, 2nd;
Malaysia, 3rd; Indonesia, 4th; Philippines, 5th and Indonesia, 6th. In 2008, the Philippine
Language and Cultural Association of Australia, Inc. (PLCAA) organized a Sungka competition
at the Sydney Regatta Centre, Penrith. The Department of Computer Studies at the Imperial
College of Science in London (England) held a computer tournament in 2004.
It is known that Sungka improves mathematical thinking and teaches patience and observation
skills. The John W. Garvy Elementary School in Chicago (Illinois, USA) uses Sungka to help
children with dyscalculia.
