players. Each team designates a leader, the nanay

the Can.
Yes, Miyuki?

Yes, exactly. I will be discussing the Tumbang

Ma’am, it's Tumbang Preso.
Preso some called it Bato Lata.

So before we start, I will give you first the

Background of Tumbang Preso. Long before the
internet and gadgets were introduced to them,
Filipino kids were already playing this social
game called Tumbang Preso. I don’t know when
this game started. But for as long as I can
remember, the generation before mine were
playing Tumbang Preso.
Tumbang Preso or Tumba lata (Tagalog), or Bato
Lata (Bisaya) literally means “Knock Down the
Prisoner” or “Knock Down the Can” in English.
This game is played in backyards, open fields, or
parks. And, in places where vehicular traffic is
minimal, kids bring their tumbang preso right in
the middle of the road.

5
Okay Class, have you ever experienced playing
this game before?

Okay, it is nice to hear that, and I think it will be

easy for me to discuss the Rules and Mechanics
on playing this game.

Rules
● Players must have slippers to hit the can
precisely.
Yes, Ma’am. We played that game during our
● The ‘IT’ must never go to the player zone childhood.
unless he or she will tag a player without
slippers.
● Players must never go to the ‘IT’ zone
unless he or she throws the slippers.
● Players must throw the slippers or else he
or she will be the ‘IT’ in the next round.
● The ‘IT’ will tick the can three times if
every player misses the can and no
players are in the player zone with his or
her slippers.
● The ‘IT’ will never tag a player if the can
is knocked out.
Mechanics

● An It, the one to guard the tin can be

chosen by throwing the pamato to the toe-
line by all the players.
Whoever's pamato is farthest from the
toe-line is the It.
● The hitters will get ready at the back of
the toe-line and at a signal from the It,
game starts.
● The pamato must be retrieved
immediately once the can is knocked
down, the It will start putting it up inside

6
 the circle, the one tagged becomes the It.
● When the can is hit and falls outside the
circle but remains standing, the It has the
right to tag the hitter once the hitter leaves
the toe-line.
● The can may be kicked or knocked down
under when it is outside the circle.
● If a hitter is not able to retrieve
his/her pamato, the others can save
him/her by hitting the can.
