Patintero, Luksong-tinik, Moro-moro, atbp.
I went outside today. The afternoon sun felt warm, so I took my daughter for a walk on our street. It was just past 4 o’clock but there were no children playing on the street. We walked past two homes and came back. It felt wierd. I wasn’t used to being outside anymore. Just taking a walk, or sitting on the front steps, talking to the neighbor also sitting on her steps, or tending her garden.
I used to be always out, growing up. Right after school, the neighborhood kids would meet on the street and start playing whatever games we fancy for that day. Patintero, luksong-tinink, tumbam-preso, chinese garter. If a jeepney drives by, we’d just run toward the ditch cum-shoulder , wait for it to pass, and occupy the road once more.
We would be running, skipping ropes, jumping over fences. We won’t go home until one of the mothers shout for us, because it’s getting dark or supper’s ready, or homework needs to be done. There were no malls then. No play yards, video games, cell phones and IMs. Barbie dolls, lego, and game boards were for the rich. So we played outside all the time, and it was the best childhood ever.
I think I’ll teach my daughter games like patintero, moro-moro, and luksong-tinik. Better yet, I think I’ll teach her friends too! It’ll be fun to see them play the games I played growing up… and then I’ll join in.

that is just the sad truth…kids today do not get to enjoy such games…most of them are stuck in front of PC or game consule. I have nothing against computer gaming because I did have my share(still do)of it but nothing beats going home all sweaty and madungis…your mother screaming on the top of her lungs for you to go home cuz supper is ready…not to mention the bruises that goes with playing Filipino outdoor games…
very true! most of the kids now adays are usually into computer games.. now i dont even see kids playing outdoors..(except at the park)
i mean playing like patintero, tumbang preso, taya tayaan, chinese garter, chato etc. i miss those days.. i hope kids will will stop going to computer shops and start reviving our forgotten games.. our so called larong kalye…

As far as I know, moro moro is a blood and thunder melodrama about a love story that revolves around the struggle between Muslims and Christians, with the Christians emerging as victors.

Hello, I am an architecture student from UST. I found your site while I am researching for Filipino Street Games.
We have a project plate in which we will design a carnival with the concept: Reviving the Filipino Street Games. I have researched a long list of street games but sadly, I don’t know how they are played. Knowing so is essential for designing the structure.
I hope you can help me with my research. Thank you.
