One of the old tradition and hobby of Filipino are so called "Sabong". Two cock are fighting for their lives while people watching them are having some fun and bet who will gonna the fight. Some of the term you will here from this event are :
"Kristo"- the person who communicate to fix the bet and which cock they think will win.
"Tari"- the blade or weapon of each cock put in their feet to destroy the oppponent.
"Wala"-the undercard cock is usually called wala
"Meron"-the cock who is more aggressive than the opponent.
Sabong was been known for its excitement and a trademark of being Filipinos. Now a days there are cities constructed a cockpit arena where some sabungeros can go to enjoy the sabong.
Some of rich Filipino who like sabong build their own farm where they train and breed the cock to prepare for a big time derby.
One made me amaze of this game is that the sabongeros are so honest when they loss in the bet, they throw their money to their fellow sabungero who win the bet.
