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 can’s 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.
