Abstract:
Cultural Education, as it discovers the different manifestations of culture, has its ultimate goal of providing an insight on the cycle, or for some, whirlwind that engulfs the society. With a geographical landscape as unique as the Philippines, the diversity of cultural heritage that is definitive of its national cultural identity is a fortress. This study is an in-depth investigatory paper on the cultural facets of the age-old gaming of the Filipino alpha: “sabong” or cockfighting. Through generations, the Filipino men have been patronizing, if not, addicted to this game. But for it to sustain through hundreds of years, one must ask; is it a mere game or gambling, or is it a culture shaped by whose lives were affected during its continuance?
