In your own point of view. Cite 3 larong lahi that Filipino people are not that familiar. Gather
information’s like the rules, regulations, mechanics and materials (if any) of the game.

Bati-Cobra

⮞ It is a hitting and catching game. This game is played outside just by at least two
players.To play this game, two bits of bamboo sticks (one long, one short) are required. The
long one fills in as the bat and the short one fills in as the ball. Furthermore, a little ground
hole is required that makes a permanent base.At least two players can play the game. To
decide the main hitter, the player that strikes the smaller stick farther from the base will be
the first to hit.

⮞A player acts as a hitter and stands inverse from the others players at a distance. Tossing
the smaller stick upwards and striking it hard plays the game. The other player from a far
distance tries to get the stick. Whoever gets it turns into the next hitter. In the event that no
one gets the stick the non-hitter may get the stick and strike the more extended stick set
around the hitter close to the base. A player turns into the following hitter if the more drawn
out stick is struck, however in the event that not, the main hitter keeps playing.

⮞Points can be score by measuring the distance from the base up to where the smaller stick
landed. The longer stick is used to measure the distance. Every length of the stick is
proportionate to one point. A layer that gets 100 points or more is the champ.

Calahoyo ("Hole-in")

⮞This is an outdoor game by two to ten players. Accurate targeting is the skill developed
in this game because the objective of each player is to hit the anak (small stones or
objects) with the use of the pamato (big, flat stone), trying to send it to the hole.

⮞A small hole is dug in the ground, and a throwing line is drawn opposite the hole
(approx 5 to 6 meters (16 to 20 ft) away from the hole). A longer line is drawn between
the hole and the throwing line. Each player has a pamato and an anak. All the anak are
placed on the throwing line, and players try to throw their pamato into the hole from the
throwing line. The Player whose pamato is in the hole or nearest the hole will have the
chance for the first throw. Using the pamato, the first thrower tries to hit the anak,
attempting to send it to the hole. Players take turns in hitting their anak until one of them
gets into the hole, with the players taking turns a complete round and so on. The game
goes on until only one anak is left outside the hole. All players who get their anak inside
the hole are declared winners, while the one with the anak left outside the hole is the alila
(loser) or muchacho. Alila or Muchacho will be 'punished' by all the winner/s as follows:

⮞Winners stand at the throwing line with their anak beyond line A-B (longer line
between hole and throwing line). The winners hit their anak with their pamato. The
muchacho picks up the pamato and returns it to the owner. The winners repeat throwing
as the muchacho keeps on picking up and returning the pamato as punishment. Winners
who fail to hit their respective anak will stop throwing. The objective is to tire the loser as
punishment. When all are through, the game starts again.

Sambunot

⮞ Sambunot is a Philippine game which may be played outdoors by ten or more players,
but not to exceed twenty. The goal in the game is to get the coconut husk out of the
circle.

⮞ Another game of speed, and team work. All you need is a BUNOT and a wide playing
area. Set some boundaries on the playing area. Composed of two teams, players will
depend how big the playing area, ideal number of players is at 5 on each team. Placing
the BUNOT in the center of the playing area, the goal of each team is to get the BUNOT
and bring it to their home team area.

Looks easy right? but teams need to strategize in this game. Not all five players can grab
that one BUNOT, other players of the team needs to prevent the other team from making
a goal. Grabbing the BUNOT from the opposing team and passing it to your teammate
can help get a score. You can also drag, lift the player holding the BUNOT to your home
team area to make a goal. This game is really fun, be sure to be careful during the start of
the game, grabbing the BUNOT with all 10 players is not a good idea, strategy is the key.
