I grew up playing street games, and my favorites were patintero, Chinese garter, tumba-lata, shatum (that is how we called it). We flew handmade kites and built makeshift houses in the backyard, using old blankets, sticks, and stones. I remember we had mansanitas and the bayabas na bisaya trees, and we would pick the fruit to use as bala for our handmade tirador, targeting those fruits on trees that were too high for us to reach. By day's end we would be all tired and sweaty, but overloading with happiness.
What was your favorite street game?
