TUMBANG PRESO
Tumbang preso or presohan (tumba-patis in most Visayan regions)
is a popular Filipino street game and is commonly seen in most
Filipino movies and TV series.Like other Filipino traditional games,
members take the following rules: one as the taya, someone
whotakes the rule of a-player-at-stake and holds the
responsibility of the Lata (tin can), and; the two others
as the players striking.The game is performed by having
the players a pamato (which is ones own slipper) used
for striking the tin that is held beside the taya.
As to how the game cycles, the taya, is obliged to catch another
player to take over his position of running after the tin that
keep from throwing away by the strikes of the players.
Nevertheless,the taya is only privileged to do so only if
the player is holdingon his way a pamato and when the tin
is on its upright position.Hence, running after another player
is keeping an eye to the tin cans position. As for the players,
they have their whole time striking the tin can and running
away from the taya keeping themselves safe with their pamato
since making the tin fell downhelps another player from
recovering. Instance like having everyone had their turns
over is one big climax of the game that leads them to panic
since case is that taya has all his rightsto capture whether
the player have a hold of their pamato or not.
However, mechanics also give each side privileges. With the
roadway or streets as the area being performed, the taya take
its place on one side held its tin centered on the ground while on
the other end is bound by a line that limits the player when throwing.
Breaking rules to the players give way for the taya to have his
overturn, like: stepping on or outside the boundary line when
throwing; kicking the tin; striking the tin without having oneself
reaching the line; or even touching it.
