Cock Fighting (Gamefowl)

In this post i would like to share to you what is happening inside Cockpit arena. Cockfight is a bloodsport between two cocks(Roosters), or we can call them as gamecocks. The fight between gamecock is held inside a ring called cockpit. The aim of the game is to fight ultimately until one them dies or critically injured and unable to play.

 Inside the cockpit you will see "SULTADOR" the one who hold the gamecock. "SENTENCIADOR" by the name itself you can know what was his job, he's like the referee of the game. "KRISTO" what i know his job is he just shout a language that a i don't understand. 

Once the fight starts only the veterans can understand what is happening, the gamecocks are just fast too fast to my eyes.

                                            

                                              Here is the "SENTENCIADOR" doing his job.

After the battle of gamecocks the lucky survivor are treated by what they call a "DOC" they are wounds are treated by the "DOC". They are not a licensed vet to this things. They are paid 100 pesos per head.

 AHMmm This is the place of unlucky roosters who died in the battle. This place is called "PALNITAN or BALAHIBOHAN" they are now owned by the winner of fight. The dead ones are now called "SAMBOT". Some people eat them for dinner.

And THAT'S ALL! I would like to give Thanks to my cousin Ariel Manarang in explaining some of the terms  I used in this blog post. Hope you like it! Before you left my page below is a sample what's happening inside Cockpit Arena. This is held in Brgy. Palanas, Paracale, Camarines Norte.
