Cock Fighting 'sabong' Sports or Gambling?

 Chickens are  yummy to eat and sometimes it is irritating especially if you dont want to wake up early morning! tok - to - ga - ook.

Cock fighting or ' sabong ' in cebuano dialect referring to 'sunoy' and is very famous in the country and foreigners might find it bad or could be fun for some. Pilipinos form of gambling and others seen it as national sports.

In the country side or province a lot of people raise 'cocks' and they do trained them well before the event. The sharp razor blades is attached to one of the leg of the cock and the duel ends up death or bloody fight.

here are some of the words use during the 'sabong'
biya (low bet)   or inilong (higher bet), then the coyme says the amount bet diference and call the viewers to match or parehas the bet if in case the bet are still higher so they go for 'logro' means some bets like (a nuybe) means 100pesos will win 90pesos only, (dieste) means 100pesos will win 80pesos, (dies seite) means 100pesos will win 70pesos.

well yoo! i am not against cock fighting for its already there for centuries and it is not hobby although its cool and fun to see the crowd and might wanted to try bet on the cocks.

On this day a fiesta in a small sitio i tried playing 'sabong' although i dont have a cock. i can stil bet from outside and now i need a 'masyador' the one who call for bet for you or if your into it , you can bet and shout for your own.

it feels great and fun when your cock of choice won and not all the bet of mine wins, but in the end i still won. hoooray.

and until this day now i learn how the game played and the win maybe its just a beginners luck.

once played this game or gambling you need a cash if you dont have dont bet coze if you lose, you gonna have some trouble and those 'mago' no cash, some end up bitten up or up to death. scarey ha.

Sabongero - call to those people you play the game with their cocks. And both just aim to win not just for the cash but also for the hardwork, training and the pride.

and if visit any fiesta just to experience this feel free to do so and i hope you too will have a great time or just exploring like me.
