00:00I joined here because I want to meet my friends and mingle with all my Filipino brothers and
00:14sisters.
00:15We want to highlight also to our kids what our games during my childhood which is not
00:20been played by my kids this time.
00:23It will be good to refresh also our traditional games to the youth at this moment.
00:28I learned it from my friends who are raised in the Philippines but since they moved here
00:34in Dubai, so I learned it from them.
00:37After school, I would play every traditional Filipino game, patintero, Chinese garter.
00:43At home, what we usually do is the tumbang preso and if we go to the park, we try also
00:49to play this patintero.
00:50I played sungka because long time ago I played that since I was a kid.
00:56So I just tried if I know the mechanics.
00:59I like physical fitness more.
01:01Since you're just in computer, you're anti-social.
01:04But when you play this traditional Filipino games, you might gain some friends.
01:08It's very good that we can introduce to our kids, to our young generations, to the millennials
01:14that the palarong kombansa or palarong Pinoy still exists in this millennial world.
01:20It's totally preserving as well our culture.
