BULONG PARI

HISTORY

"Bulong Pari" is a customary Philippine game

which implies in English "Whisper It To The Priest."
As the name suggests, it is a whispering game
prevalently referred to in the Visayan district as
"Honghonganay".

Mechanics:

1. The players are divided into two teams with an

equal number of players.

2. One player is chosen to be the priest and two

others to be the leaders of teams A and B.

3. The two teams stand in parallel lines facing each other.

4. The priest stands or sits in front of the teams at about five meters from the two teams.

5. The leaders of the teams stand at the head of the line.

6. The leader of team A goes to the priest and whispers one of the names of the
players of the team B. Then he returns to his place and the priest calls out, "Lapit!"
("Approach!") One of the players of team B approaches him. If it happens to be the
very one whom the leader of team A mentioned, the priest says, "Bung!" He then falls
out of line and stays somewhere near the priest as a prisoner.

7. If he is not the one who was mentioned, he is allowed to approach. He will whisper to
the Priest the name of one of the players of team A.

8. The game thus continues, and the team which has no player left is the loser.

Penalty:

Each of the players of the losing team carries one player of the winning team on his
back to and front as many times as agreed.

Materials:

1. Ring
Number of Players:

10 to 20 or more players

Variety of the Game:

"Singsingan". As the name proposes, a player assumes the part of a priest looking for a
missing ring. He will then think about who among the group of players the ring has. On
the off chance that he finds the correct individual, the priest will then squeeze the
player's ears as a discipline.
